It's not bad, but I do expect more from a triple hybrid card. I mean, stacked next to Boros Reckoner or Nightveil Specter it's not great. You're right that I'm basically grid-filling at this point. WotC needs to Return to Shadowmoor so we can get some more decent hybrid cards. In other news, a...

Necropotence at Mythic is a weird choice, considering it's banned in legacy. That Daze art is sweet, though I'll probably stick with the classic naked dude. Anybody ever run Nimble Mongoose in their cubes? How's that guy play out?

Oh right. They can just tap all their lands before it connects now, so this does nothing. Nevermind, move along.

Pygmy Hippo What.

Invader Parasite Anybody ever try this guy out? Seems like a fair land destruction effect that can do a decent Ankh of Mishra impersonation.

Oh no. No no no. I shouldn't have looked at that list. I told myself coming back to Magic would be a limited/cube-only affair. But those big red/goggles decks. I have a weakness. And Finkle's and LSV's decks...

Turn // Burn vs Fire // Ice I like 'em both for different reasons.

Color balance, I guess. I want each guild to have at least one hybrid card in it, especially the blue, black, and red guilds because those are the ones that care about devotion.

Fuuuuck. Boros Charm. Of course, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Shows how rusty I am. I forgot that guy completely. As far as Spitemare goes, I've already got Boros Reckoner, but you're right, I should probably have Soulfire Grand Master. I hadn't considered how gross that would be off...

Stab Wound This is a near-perfect card, IMO. Highly skill testing, provides great game tension, and often presents a puzzle on ways to get around it. It always hovers just on the edges of my cube, being just slightly too low power to get in.

Current Thoughts and Possible Changes Mana I'm not super happy with the tri-lands. They're a relic from a time when I had Chromanticore in here. I want more lands that come in to play untapped, and I'd like more incidental colorless sources in case I want to include stuff like Thought-Knot...

Here's a short list of themes that are currently supported: Major Themes Tokens (W/R) Sacrifice (B/R) Graveyard Shenanigans (U/B/G) Artifacts (U/R) Enchantments (W/B/G) Spells Matter (W/U/R) Flicker (W/U) Devotion (U/B/R) Flash (U/G) Minor Themes Tribal (Humans in W, Merfolk in U, Zombies in...

I started a new job that had me working nights and weekends about a year ago, and thus have not been able to play Magic or cube for a really long time. However, I discovered that a new LGS opened up near me that drafts on Wednesday nights (my night off), and hey, I missed Innistrad the first...

Keranos is great. He rarely becomes a creature except in games where the person with him is already winning by a fair margin, but his effect is great and very UR. None of the other minor gods cut it, and I've tested most of them. Even Phenax. Ugh. Phenax.

I run him, but he sucks. He only gets to keep his slot because I haven't found a satisfactory simic hybrid card to replace him with.

Here's what I'm considering: Swift Reckoning - Sweet white removal spell. Probably in place of Condemn. Harbinger of the Tides - Great for blue devotion. Blue needs more quality 2 drops, even if they cost CC. Jhessian Thief - I heart Ophidians and I heart prowess, so this is a slam dunk...

Am I the only one creeped out? Like, happy smiling dead kids? Just wrong, man.

How do we feel about Teysa, Orzhov Scion in this archetype?

He's.... kind of not what I want in a looter. Looters are there for long game inevitability by increasing your card quality over time. If you're in some kind of long attritiony game, where the looting would shine, Jace stops being a looter and changes into, what, a free Snapcaster Mage. That...
