    I love green with a light grixis splash! Drafts like this are the main reason i keep Emrakul in the cube, aside from Mindslaver turns being some of the most fun magic there is. Seeing the process of how to maximize and build around the p1 Emmy was super insightful and exactly the kind of...

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    Late, but grixis is my artifact section in my cube, and the 2 color guilds that make it up all get an artifact fixer, (talismans of indulgence and dominance + izzet signet), which are coincidentally really good at casting cruel. Grixis also has quite a few value creatures to be getting back, and...

    I'm on Cruel, cause big spells that end games are fun!

    That's a difficult milestone to figure out. Tapping out for a 6 mana creature feels pretty awful when there are efficient 1 or 2 mana answers that most decks can run. I think if most of your removal is around Murder-tier or slightly worse, she starts to feel like a premium threat. Going off of...

    I run Muldrotha and I know that I probably shouldn't with stuff like Path in my format, but the card is too sweet to pass up. I think I'm trying to gradually shift towards an environment with less ETB value and removal insurance (with scaled down removal to compensate), so I think she'll shine...

    Tamiyo is great. Interesting play patterns with the + and -, encourages attacking, an ult that is achievable and powerful but doesn't instantly win the game.

    General [GRN] Guilds of Ravnica

    The majority of people that we interact with by virtue of being invested enough to go online and talk about magic are going to understand that removal is part of the game. The part lots of people forget is that 90% of people that buy magic cards will never go to a local game store to play a...

    Not specifically all instants / sorceries, but Form of the Dragon Pirate's Pillage Pyromancer's goggles Abrade Abrade is sort of a kill spell, but I like the utility it brings. Those are just the ones from my cube. Otherwise there's Gamble Burning Wish Mizzix's Mastery Thoughts of Ruin...

    General Current opinion on duplicates and other Riptidian/Waddellisms?

    As cool as duplicates are in theory, real life has a way of getting in the way of the best designs. Essentially, nobody I play with is in as deep as we are here, and duplicates and esoteric archetypes and all that fun to design stuff just serves to confuse them. So, to ensure I have people to...

    Throwing my hat in the lot and saying that I love the 6/6. I've been looking for more BEEF in my green section, and this is almost exactly how I'd do hexproof-lite. Adding in an interesting drawback and a way to circumvent it is icing on the cake. I'm personally not worried about complexity as...

    I really like the gameplay Karn generates, but it's kind of a bummer that he goes in every deck and is super powerful at baseline.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    You really have to warp your environment around enchantress cards for them to work. I had a larger-than-average enchantment section in my cube, plus about 3 or 4 of the draw a card enchantresses, and the deck just never came together, and they were pretty underwhelming when they did. I'm low on...

    Reporting in that Torgaar, Famine Incarnate did great work in the aristocrats deck that 3-0'd last night. Both modes got used, stabilizing back up to 10 against RW aggro and quickly clocking the abzan deck with blood artist triggers after setting him to 10.

    Honestly I think like half of my cube has come out since BFZ. There's a big focus on clean, interesting design these days that I just love.
