    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    I've been playing Splinter Twin in Modern for a while now, and I have to say it's much more exciting/interesting than simply "I put my two cards together gg move on." What I find so interesting about the deck (in Modern, not cube) is that it's fundementally a tempo deck that leverages the...

    Well, if they declare two dudes attacking, then you flash this in to eat one via combat damage, and let the other one through, exiling it later. This drastically improves if he's an 8/8 or something stupid like that.

    How do people feel about Thrun, the Last Troll It always seems like Thrun having hexproof is impossible to deal with, but Geist of Saint Traft or Sphinx of Jwar Isle seem perfectly fine?
