Iiiiiiinteresting. I have a devotion theme and a morph theme in blue. This slots right in. After reading LSV's article today, I'm going back and reevaluating this guy. I think he's better than I originally gave him credit for. Not a reprint I expected. Is this cubable? Viashino...

Ooh. Creeperhulk is spicy. I didn't even know that card existed. I'll think about the lands. I put the question to our MtG facebook group and people seemed to be happy with the way the mana is now, but also weren't opposed to proxying in a bunch of fetches. I think I'm gonna leave things the way...

Alright. For the sake of argument, let's say I do proxy up 10 fetches and slot them in. Which land cycle do I cut? Obviously not the shocks, and I already like where the pain lands are at. I love the utility the temples give you, but I'm not married to it. I also like the versatility of the...

Phenax, God of Deception Interesting control finisher that attacks the game from a different angle, or game ruining bullshit?

I lied. I was sitting around this afternoon and decided to flip through the cube, and I started pulling out cards which hadn't really hit the table or just felt underwhelming or out of place when they did. I'm not really happy with Pain Seer, but I don't really have a comparable attacking...

Jeez this set is INSANE. WotC brought their A game for sure.

Got to do a couple drafts back to back today with a full 8 people, which was a nice treat in spite of the bad weather. I posted the winning decks in the 3-0 thread, but here they are again: The first draft we had: Jund midrange <- me, who ended up 2-1, losing to the Rb aggro deck Naya...

Got to draft the cube back to back today, which is always sweet. Here's a UR spells deck that crushed all comers: Ones 1 Monastery Swiftspear 1 Grim Lavamancer 1 Ponder 1 Faithless Looting 1 Pillar of Flame 1 Vapor Snag Twos 1 Izzet Guildmage 1 Voidmage Prodigy 1 Augur of Bolas 1 Arc Trail...

After some deliberation, and after reading Chris Taylor's post in the FRF spoiler thread about how blue's low drops suck, I've decided to mess with my blue section yet again. I've cut a bunch of dorky underpowered aggro creatures/curve fillers and replaced them with spells and enchantments. I'm...

I've been thinking about Humble Defector a lot, since the effect is super interesting. I think he might actually be really good. If you're digging in red, often you're just looking for the last few points of burn, in which case you don't care if your opponent gets to draw. There's a lot of other...

I like her. Red threes are a little thin as it is, and I already run the ever popular sac theme, so she's got some synergy.

Screw it. I'm just gonna run every mythic from this set and call it a day.

If you're into GW little kid decks, Fleecemane Lion is your guy. Comes down early, has a ticking clock on it before it becomes a massive pain in the ass to deal with. Everything you could ever want in an above the curve 2 drop. I don't have any experience with the Deathdealer, but my instincts...

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the list! Captain of the Watch is sort of a relic from when my cube started its life with a heavier tribal focus (soldier was the white tribe) that has continued to hold its own since that knob got turned down. It acts more like a control finisher/stabilizer than a...

Soul Collector I've been considering running this beauty mainly because the art is siiiick, but also because I have a small morph theme in blue and black and she makes for a brutal addition to the guessing game. My worry is that her stats just aren't good enough when compared to my other 5's...

How do we feel about: Jeskai Windscout Jeskai Elder I've been on the border of putting them in, but they feel like they're just on the wrong side of playability.

Well, let's address the fixing first. I think having no sources of fixing that come into play untapped at all is a mistake. I would at least consider the painlands or the buddy lands over the guildgates, unless you were planning on including a bunch of cards that care about the gate subtype. I...

New years cube draft! This time we had a full 8 people, and things got kind of crazy so I didn't get a good sense of what everyone was playing. However, I do know a U/w devotion list went 2-1, so I think my blue overhaul was at least partially successful. The winning deck was a pretty savage W/b...

Well, if Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time have taught us anything, most of the time you're gonna be casting that for {U}{U}{U}. I'm gonna try it. I mean, I run Future Sight, after all.

I was pretty happy overall. There was a good variety among the decks and the games that played out were all pretty interesting. I wish I'd gotten a better look at the Simic deck because I want to see how my blue revamp worked with it. The aggro player seemed pretty happy, but that could just...
