    Card/Deck Kill it with fire (let's talk removal)

    Thanks for the feedback everybody. "every card in your cube should be potentially maindeckable, in at least one archetype." - agree completely, I think this is most important. I don't think a super powered black six will prevent under-powered red threes from being played (but I do really...

    Card/Deck Kill it with fire (let's talk removal)

    Yeah. I think I'm OK with a higher variance power curve. Of course you did manage to pick out the weakest and strongest cards in the cube ;). Both of those are the watch list. I want every card to be playable. If you need a five drop and you're playing white I think Serra Angel does fine. I...

    Card/Deck Kill it with fire (let's talk removal)

    I've been on a kick to reduce the power of creature removal in my cube. I don't want every game to come down to baiting out removal. I want to see games sometimes where an early threat actually deals a significant amount of damage because there is no answer ready (of course you'll see immediate...

    Kind of on topic, I like this guy: Skylasher I'm very careful with protection but I think since he's only a 2/2 and it's only pro one color, and he's actually playable (in my cube at least) when you aren't vs blue he's a good option. And a grizzly bear with 4 abilities is just cool.

    I just bought this card on ebay. You should be a Magic Card Salesman.

    Really a fan of this guy: Ogre Battledriver Fairly easy to deal with, but terrifying if you don't. Today it was Meloku the Clouded Mirror rocket launchers.

    I think Hearthstone has replaced MTGO for me. But, the cube lives forever!

    Agree as well. I tend to like 1 drops with 2 power.

    Cathodion No mana burn means this guy is really good. I mean... blue and black can't even get a 3/3 for 3. But coloress? With a pretty serious mana ramp on sac? Sure.

    Wayfinder seems really bad to me, but I don't have much graveyard interaction. 2 mana 1/1 in green... ew. Doesn't even ramp. But, ok, I see, his purpose is to fill your yard. Use these instead? Fauna Shaman Wild Mongrel EDIT: I see Dom started this thread with a picture of Wild Mongrel ;0

    Tectonic Edge This is kinda my new favorite card. In my seemingly never-ending quest to help aggro I'm swapping this in for Maze of Ith. This card is good for aggro for the same reasons that signets are bad. It is effectively anti-ramp with a bonus of potential color screw. Delaying the...

    Hmm. Yeah you may be right. I like the hard counter against all 1s and 2s... that's a decent chunk of the cube, plus the kicker gives it more range later. Though too bad, unlike Spell Snare you can't use it on turn 1. Have they printed this card yet? 1b Counter target spell with converted...

    You have a modern frame cube too!? I was also pretty thrilled with that reprint. Lots of goodies in Commander 2013. Also Jace vs Vraska brings us these in modern frame for the first time: Prohibit Memory Lapse

    The Dark Confidant

    Hey Douggggg! Funny, I also have a blog named after a Magic card. I even started on Blogger as well. Here's my old Blogger site: http://birdsofparadise-mtg.blogspot.com/ And here's my new link: http://bopmtg.net/ I really like blogger, but I moved away mainly because I wanted more control...

    I like faithless looting just for the ability to pitch extra lands in an aggro deck. Diverting your opponent's removal from your best creature to his best certainly seems awesome, though it also seems narrow in a weird kind of way, mainly because you have to set this trick up when you opponent...

    I think this would help, but only a little bit. Blue/black would still have access to seven signets, for example.
