I play Kalonian Tusker and its a marginal roleplayer. If I ever took out the green devotion cards, it would be an easy cut. I think a 3/4 would be good enough, the one additional toughness is a big deal.

Totally forgot frantic search, that card rocks. I might try Prowler again, but that thing discards for no benefit AND it gives the opponent a discard outlet, which, if your cube has those delicious crossover synergies, can come back to haunt you.

FWIW: Goyf's stats aren't fixed and can even be changed at instant speed, so I wouldn't call it a vanilla creature any more then I would Champion of the Parish or Mortician Beetle. If the criteria is "only used for attacking and blocking" then that opens up a lot of other cards.

Considering by definition of vanilla means a lack of abilities, all a vanilla creature can offer is being bigger then other creatures at the same cost. That perfectly fine for for Kird Ape, Kalonian Tusker and Wholly Thoctar, which are pretty good cards and in a less powerful cube you could...

Merfolk Looter is probably still the best. I mean, it doesn't attack, but it gives you control over when you discard the card (nice with madness or playing around a Scavenging Ooze. Magus of the Bazaar is pretty badass and maybe I should play him. Faithless Looting, Looter il-Kor, Attunement...

Bazaar is a pretty steep cost to discard cards, to the point where those discarded cards really need to be doing something criminally powerful for it to be worth it. I'm not sure this is something that most people want in their cube. I run Attunement, which features a similarly bad return on...

Would we play it at {1}{U} with no activation cost? That is, if it was directly comparable to merfolk looter, would it stand up? Both cards would provide card parity. The looter is a better graveyard outlet. The mystic adds a lot of information into the game. I'm really not sure I'd play...

Team Hellion.

It wasn't long ago red three drops were garbage. Now, its a tricky spot to pick cards for.

I'm also supposed to get stuffy doll in the thing too. And maybe Wildfire or Bonfire.

Grenzo is fucking nuts. He's got the best base stats of any X creature, plus his ability is an incredibly powerful (if inconsistent) mana sink.

Am I halucinating or can this card actually be pretty good?

Goblin Rabblemaster seems to be pretty high on the raw power scale, but he's gotta fight int he paint and is super removable. He's probably nuts in cubes where games are generally low interation races, or at least as nuts as a 3 drop gets. Cruel Sadist and Wall of Limbs are not going to be run...

Its the subtle blend of the cheesy poses combined with a shameless disregard for anatomy that makes them so awful.

Here's a larger image from his website. Infernal Denizen isn't bad, but I always found light of day pretty amazing. Its also the absolute polar opposite of the current art direction in Magic, which makes it interesting.

I like Drew Tucker. Gravebind is a really awesome illustation, I don't know what you're talking about. Its completely claustrophobic and hopeless, exactly what the card is going for. Too bad the card is unplayable crap. Decomposition is decent, but not one of his best works, I could see hating...

In my friend's cube, which I can best describe as "retail limited, but with nothing but bombs" the pick patterns are very similar to what you describe. However, unlike your cube, the person who drafts the best G/U shell generally wins. For whatever reason, it sounds like [some] your players...

What combos with Blasphemous Act? Boros Reckoner and his lesser predecessors Spitemare and Mogg Maniac Saber Ants and its never version Hornet Nest Honorable Passage does, but no one wants to run this card. What else works?

I'm on board with this plan.
