    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    You can run Expansion/Explosion if you want this kind of effect. Copy effects are always a bit wonky. After all, for the same cost as Twincast you can play Counterspell which is safer, can hit creatures and more versatile. You can run then, they are not bad cards, but you would rather have a...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Time Spiral This is a powerful card and the graveyard reshuffle effect is very interesting and good. However, I'm not sure of what decks are the best to use it, storm aside. Thoughts?

    I decided to run Grapple with the Past over Winding Way because I found more decks wanted the filtering, Raise Dead effect and instant speed than they wanted the efficiency of Winding Way.

    Chord of Calling Is this good? Bad? Token support? Thoughts?

    Heirloom Blade vs Loxodon Warhammer I'm currently running the latter, but I'm not sure if it's the right card given my power level. Thoughts?

    I just don't like Batterskull because it has lifelink. The rest is fine, even if you cheat it into play. But +4/+4 and Lifelink is hard to overcome and doesn't lend itself to interesting matches. That said, I should consider swtiching Loxodon Warhammer, which is too expensive to equip with...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Hey, thanks for the thoughts Trainmaster. Evolution Sage is a test, mostly to see which direction I take Selesnya and if I dip into artifact support for green or not. Note that while I do have plenty of cards that work with with tokens by giving them +1/+1 counters, I don't have any cards that...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    Thanks for the thought Trainmaster. Oracle was indeed the wrong card for my cube. I mean, my cube is pretty much done at 6-7 mana, there's no use for more than that. And with its feeble body, it was not actually a good control card. I'm not getting much mileage of Oracle of Mul Daya, either...

    What do you guys think of using Growth Charm over Regrowth?

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    They really are! I'm actually glad Helm is making its way into more decks because it's a very interesting card. And while it's very good, it costs 6 mana and a creature before it does anything. So I'm very happy about it.

    General Making broken cards fair

    I agree that Hymn to Tourach is not much weaker than Mind Twist. If I were strict, I wouldn't run Hymn either because it's also dumb. For me there are two big differences: 1) The BB cost. This is a surprisingly impactful limitation. 2) You can't wipe your opponent's entire hand with it. For me...

    I wrote this thread a year ago, befoer I knew too much about cubing. Here's what I've found about broken cards: Tinker Sneak Attack Bribery Metalworker Entomb Stoneforge Mystic These are all easy to fit into a cube at diverse power levels by being careful about your top end. It can be a bit...
