Nissa, Ascended Animist I know this is a slightly older post at this point, but the more I think about this new Nissa the less I like her. I thought this might be an interesting discussion. I think this Nissa is good when she's able to win the game with her faux-craterhoof impression. While I...

Awww, I got disappointed there for a second. I thought there were going to be more cool new cards! That's... actually significantly less than I thought... only about one thing per month. I bet if Unfinity and Warhammer 40k had released when they were supposed to instead of getting pushed back...

What’s coming out in two weeks?

This is a testing/includes thread. Post pictures using /ci or a text list using /c with what cards you plan to include and what cards you plan to test. Including: Ossification Planar Disruption Mercurial Spelldancer Barbed Batterfist Cankerbloom Jor Kadeen, First Goldwarden Interesting but...

We finally found out who the Tooth and Scale of Chiss Goria belong to!

I think Vraan, Executioner Thane is better than ZC and Blood Artist when being used fairly or outside of Aristocrats, but worse when it is part of a Combo deck. If you're sacrificing 5 things in a turn to Goblin Bombardment, you're going to want a Blood Artist variant over Vraan. However, if...

I think it’s more that Mayhem Devil is a reason to play a sac deck (3/3 body is fine by itself and the potential ceiling is very high if you can support it), while Juri is more a reward for a deck that is already doing a lot of sacrificing.

Seems like a running theme in this set: Sawblade Scamp Vindictive Flamestoker Exuberant Fuseling Cacophony Scamp

Oh for sure, the old Starcity catalog has a lot of nice foundational theories from the earlier days of Cubing. I'm not familiar with Thea Steele but JP and Usman's old articles are all very nice! Today the only person they have consistently writing about Cube is Ryan Overturf who... is not the...

Just so you know, you're writings are the only reason I visit SCG for content. I find their Cube writers to be sub-par for the most part and I don't care about Commander, but I always like to read your constructed takes.

I think Lagomos is more complicated than it needs to be, and Juri is more of a support card for a sac deck than a primary engine. Personally, I like these a little more: Body Dropper Slaughter-Priest of Mogis Mayhem Devil Dropper and Priest can both be enablers and payoffs depending on what...

"Why yes, I am a bear tribal player. How could you tell?"

Pretty much. Usually, I use the creature type "Communist" on my cards.

Real Communism is the friends we make along the way. So like, basically R/W go wide aggro.

I don’t really love either of these cards as the only card in an R/B section tbh.

I don’t think we will see Cacophony Scamp in Modern, at least not in a way that improves the hammer time deck. For the turn 2 kill to work, you need three very specific cards in a specific order and the opponent has to have 0 interaction or blockers. I think if a single gut shot, fatal push, or...

Big fan of this cycle. It takes the best parts of the first Spellbomb cycle (being able to sacrifice them for {1} to draw a card), and combines them with the more consistently powerful abilities of the second Spellbomb cycle. Furnace Skullbomb is definitely the most situational of the 5 (mostly...

Drown in Ichor {1}{B} Sorcery Target creature gets -4/-4 until end of turn. Proliferate. I wonder how exciting people will find this card to be in practice. Removal+Synergy seems like a winning combination, right?

No, I choose what delicious card I eat!
