I know this is sort of late, but a probably facetious request was made for me to do it, so here it is. Please note this particularly hard for me because I always spell Gray as Grey and I had to fix my spelling about 37 times. Gray Merchant of Asphodel It’s pretty impossible to get me excited...

Damnit, getting hyped about this idea. . . Sounds pretty interesting. . . You throwing a Thespian's Stage or Vesuva in there too for giggles?

Eidolon of Countless battles has made me totally forget about Archetype of Watchmacallit. Totally badass bestow card that does for early game what Nighthowler intended to do for late game in the color that actually wants the effect. I am also all in on the Centaur hype train. Damn that card...

One thing about combat tricks is that (like auras) they add another layer to your plans. A combat trick is useless without a creature, so having combat tricks in your deck increases the chance of having a bad hand. Some decks really don't care too much about blocking profitably, so the trick...

A while ago someone made the suggestion of splitting the cube into "sets" of cards to be drafted in a specific order. Initially I was dismissive of the idea as being only "mildly useful". But, as time has gone by, the idea is starting to sound better and better. For those people who run...

Well, Brimaz is just a beater that provides a disturbing amount of value without synergy (but still worsks well with typically cubed effects) to the point where he is better then a lot of his competitors even when they get their synergy who also requires zero thought to play. Whether or not...

Well, the turn around time seemed slow as in they didn't ship it until 6 days after I ordered it, but on the other hand we had a holiday Monday and mail didn't make it to my house yesterday (snowstorm), so it probably would have arrived Monday. All in all, I'm happy because they got me a very...

So far I like the following cards: Hero of Iroas Spirit of the Labyrinth Herald of Torment Hero of Leina Tower Ephara, God of the Polis Kiora's Follower I am interested in, but might not actually like Mogis, God of Slaughter Kiora, the Crashing Wave Spiteful Returned Bile Blight Archtype...

Hunter's Prowess sort of fits into the same spot as Overrun, Revenge of the Hunted, etc. Those cards aren't particularly highly drafted, but sometimes a deck want them. You really don't need redundancy in these kinds of cards. And when they want something like that, I think I'd prefer the...

I'm sorry Eric, but why are you attempting to link me to Concordia Pegasus? I don't even own that card and wouldn't even consider running such trash.

I just wanted to mention that the game expansion I ordered arrived today, two weeks after I ordered it.

UB god can hang out with the WG god in EDHville. I love the new green 1 drop.

=)

I've been running Replenish and its been extremely hit or miss. You really can't play a replenish deck with one copy and replenishing for value is iffy. This is a card that would be great in a squadron. Other cards that might work well here are ion storm (though I haven't run it as a single...

I'm leaning toward liking the card. Keeping a hand dependent on something in particular already gets hated on by two colors (Black: Thoughtseize and friends, Hymn and Blue: Counters), so I don't think its unreasonable to let white in on the fun particularly when the card is as vulnerable to...

Running cards who value changes highly depending on what deck they go in is helpful to the draft process if you want to reward skillful drafting. When I look at P1P1, sometimes there is a powerful outlier in it (because my cube power level isn't fully flattened), but usually its just a pile of...

Accorder Paladin has been good for me. His trigger goes off an extra power or two all the time. A two drop that represents 4-5 damage in a single swing (that is spread out so you can't just chump it with 1 dude) is good for me. Speaking of cloistered youth, flip cards don't add to devotion...

I directly compare JtMS and Jitte and don't run them for the same reason. Both cards have potentially the same capacity for producing interesting game states and plays, but because they are so absurdly powerful it doesn't feel right when you win with them. I mean, sure, you can "skillfully"...

Don't cards like Gorehouse Chainwalker get played in cubes? A 3/3 beater for 2 is fine. Not great, but fine, particularly if it is sometimes 4/4 or 5/5 and we are getting added value from the counters.

What would be the problem with it applying to any card? Why are removal check cards (i.e. Check if the opponent has removal, otherwise win) good for cube? Obviously cards need to be powerful enough to move the game forward and sometimes a card that is not removed will win the game, but that...
