    Archon of Cruelty actually looks in my ballpark for a renimation target. What do you think?

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Sorry, by Exploration being bad I meant bad in my cube. Hence why I compared it with Zuran Orb, which I think might have some potential in Land Tax decks and what not. I think you are a doing a great job with it! Regarding power level, it's not that they aren't different. It's that what I...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I hope the first strike on Dire Fleet pushes it over playability. Stormcaller is a bit of a test. It should indeed work with the cheaper spells and it has a lot of utility (Blink, copying token makers, Unearth, etc.). However, the body is not as good and it's not a real 2-drop. Baral was a...

    General The most Riptidian keyword

    It's probably Flashback. If not, Madness. If not, Cycling. Or rather, it's those three at once. C'mon you know it's true.

    It's green for the same reasons Once upon a time is.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    So I've been busy writing, reviewing and playing other nonsense games like Vampire The Eternal Struggle so I haven't thought too much about the cube. However, Inscho has which means I need to steal ideas from him again. Let's go back to work. First, I'm going to replace all the Ravnica duals...

    I've been dissapointed by Eurovision lately. Too few silly or trolling songs :(

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Kenrith is a bit dumb in that gaining 5 life is a lot and it can often gain you 10. If that's fine for you, then he's probably fine. The other abilities are expensive so he won't run away with the game at all. Note that he's not a 5 color card. The important abilities are white and blue...

    Inscho's Graveyard Combo Cube

    Ah, Inscho's update day. Or how I call it, the "let's copy whatever he is doing" day :p

    General The Most Powerful Card Ever

    I agree Titania is probably better than Squee. It's like having a Mox Diamond and Ancestral Recall together.

    General Fight Club

    Bloodthirsty Aerialist, no question. I don't think anyone is going to be happy running Malakir Familiar if they are not in the archetype and it's a blah support card for it. I would rather run Aerialist which is good and accept the parasitism.

    Thassa's Oracle, no question. You can win on ETB and it's cheaper than the other two.

    I just wanted to say that I'm liking the set's design a lot. It does a lot of things right, even if it has some flaws: - It's a multicolour set that feels very different from others. - It focuses on just 5 guilds that can be stretched from aggro to control - Cards feel fun and powerful...

    General Your Favorite Tier 2 and 3 Removal/Interaction Spells

    I think Mana Drain is in a whole different league than all those other cards. By far. To me, Mana Leak is pretty comparable to those three though it's probably the weakest of the set (it costs 2!). Either way, I believe both Mana Leak and Remand are the most powerful versions of the effect...

    I can't imagine Mana Leak being anything but tier 1 interaction.

    General Nominations for next cube to draft

    I think the Mox Cube would be fun and a great example of how different a cube can be, but it might be a bit impenetrable.

    General Collection progress of Riptiders on Mtg Arena.

    I used to always have a couple good decks but the introduction of so many staple rare cards into Historic has put a serious damper into my collection. I have a pretty good, but outdated, WB Enchantment deck but I also tried to build WG Collected Company and the deck hasn't been good at all.

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Ok, some more thoughts regarding the last draft. First, I couldn't help but think of Funchalot's explanation so as to why he runs an all-duals manabase instead of a mixture between the original and Ravnica ones. He runs them because he doesn't think there's any pick order difference between...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    First of all, thanks a lot for your tips they are great! I thik they give me a perfect perspective to start redesigning reanimator in my cube. I'm going to read it all carefully and see what I can do to follow your advice. With that said, I drafted my cube at my club with six players from a...
