Akroan Crusader is weird. It passes the value test that I use generally for heroics (If I trigger it once, does it provide a good value? See Favored Hoplite, Fabled Hero, Agent of the Fates, etc.). A 1 mana dragon fodder is nice BUT the problem I've had is that a vanilla 1/1 body usually...

Broken Fall vs Mana Bloom Which is the more useful enchantress trigger? Regenerating Enchanted dudes seems strong, but that casting cost blows. Ramp is good, but its awfully overcosted ramp. Recast cost is great, though.

Scute Mob At the intersection of team swarmyard, team ion storm and team youneedmoreonedrops lives this card. Does it do anything?

I guess Imperial Recruiter is pretty awesome at CMC 3, that's probably the proper rate for tutor that leaves a body. Stoneforge is the outlier here, not Pilgrim/Recruiter.

What's a workable version of grim affliction? Is {1}{B} instant cool? Or 2 -1/-1 on same creature at current cost?

I run all 5 ordeals. I had initially only really had much hope in Thassa and its probably the best one, but all of them have been pretty good. Ordeal of Nylea is a bit of a split personality (you want to be aggro to use the size, but it gives you ramp), though if you figure out a deck that uses...

What are you psychic? I just picked up a copy of that card yesterday! (We probably just saw the same thread on you-know-where and drew the exact opposite conclusion they did.)

Its completely true that you need to decide what needs to be killed and how efficiently you should be able to kill it before you can really start to analyze your removal choices. What I needed was cards that could kill stuff like Hero of Bladehold and Archangel of Thune efficiently, but have a...

Maybe my evalutation skills are off, but isn't Heliod's piligrim a double nerfed Stoneforge for auras? I was actually considering running it at {1}{W}, but if people without aura support are liking it at CMC 3, maybe that's a mistake? What am I missing here?

I'm resurfacing this thread. I know I'm slow in this one. Someone once said (paraphrased) "I'd rather have my nuts slammed in a car door then have someone tell me Immolating Souleater is a 810 staple." The whole concept that if your cube is bigger, your design doesn't matter is just dumb...

You can find a W/R/G one in the 3-0 thread and a W/U one in my cube thread. The G/B hasn't come together yet in a successful fashion, but I have faith.

6 mana finishers that don't instantly shut out aggro decks, but put the game away quick: Necropolis Reagent, Sphinx of Jwar Isle, Reaper of the Abyss, Aetherling, Elspeth, Sun's Champion Bestow Creatures are amazing attacking decks of all stripes. If you don't want to go in on aura aggro...

I tinkered with the idea of a cubewide errata whereby after you draft you could assign creature types to N cards so that certain tribal cards worked better(mostly rebels and Kalastria Highborn), but it got binned. If I were to include rebels, I'd do something like that whereby if you drafted a...

I find the W/X aura aggro decks pretty interesting. Its weird how the same exact deck can, depending on the hand can function as an all-in-aggro deck, a disruptive aggro deck or a combo deck. I mean, sometimes you draw three auras and your four drop and have to mull, but that's life.

One effect of taking out almost all of the mana ramping from my cube (elves and wild growths excepted, I think cultivate might be another casualty) is that aggro decks that need to win before control hits 6 mana actually have 6-8 turns to do that. So, even though I do support blisteringly fast...

Out Grafted Wargear. [This is a tough call, but I think its the right one.] Sinkhole [This is probably the 50th time I've swapped this card, but currently it doesn't belong in black's color pie]

Anyone remember when damage was always applied last so if I cast giant growth on my kird ape you couldn't bolt it?

I liked 4e D&D for a while, but it lacked lasting value to me. The problem was the amount of focus and detail on the individual actions was too high for the relative lack of diversity between them. Many 4e enthusiasts are confused by this complaint, because 3e has a much lower diversity of...
