I think a good thing to do is before you put any enchantment or artifact in your cube is to ask "Is the game still good if the opponent can't kill this?" If the answer is no, why are you putting in a card that is only fun when it isn't on the table? Do you know when card is never on the table...

Searing Meditation definitely fits and we've been talking about it recently so I shouldn't have missed it. I haven't made any move on the +1/+1 counter thing yet as I'm still figuring how to work it. Undying is a good place to be for it, who benefits? I already run Vorapede, Strangleroot...

Renegade Krasis is pretty good. Everything Jason said is true. Also, he's 3 mana, which means he doesn't cut into those precious 4+ mana slots. One trigger is all you need for him to be decent, if you have any other dudes on board he's golden. The only downside is that as a 3/2, you need...

I've noticed the same thing, except switch red and blue. Generally, no one wants to be the guy in blue. The decks are usually good, but generally we find them to be boring. Its taken serious strides to get people to care about blue, but I think its starting to take hold. As for Red, you could...

You know, if you sharpie over every instance of the word vigilance, this almost looks like a real card!

And I'm more annoyed that I'm probably going to play it anyway because Thraben Doomsayer can't do it alone and Icatian Crier sucks too much. I mean, Cryer is probably totes legit without the discard clause now, right? If this guy can make a token while vigilantly attacking with good stats for...

It sort of annoys me that in my quest to find a new, interesting token maker my choices are a godawful manahog that will never actually trigger and an overpushed statmonster where the token making is basically an afterthought. Running this guy as "Token Support" is in the same conversation as...

Good base stats, a keyword and a good special ability. Do they feel bad when they print shit cards that don't even have one of those things?

If they put aura swap on a reasonable card, though, I would run it. 2 mana for flying is not that card.

Most of these cards are awful. Jaya Ballard, Task Mage and Waterfront Bouncer is good. Greenseeker and bog witch are usable. The main problem is that being a spell on a body is huge liability when you have to both tap the creature AND pay mana for it. Dawnstrider and undertaker have useful...

The White-Green God was the first one I read where my reaction "I will never have a use for this card. Ever."

I don't think so. The main draw is getting Eldrazi Conscription into play way too early. I mean, it can do some cute things like fly in then swap into Empyrial Armor or do a shelter impersonation, but its a lot of mana for a situational effect. Aura Finesse has the right cost for this kind...

What was wrong with Gatecrash? I think I'm playing 10 cards from it atm. Finishing the hybrid one drop cycle would have been awesome, though, as there just aren't enough one mana cards around. The last set that was just plain bad for cube was Alara Reborn, which was due in no small part to...

That could be annoying to deal with and being an enchantment has a bunch of useful interaction in my cube, so that's pretty awesome.

I never have. Searing Blaze seems the better card to me.

At least I can safely say I have absolutely no desire for the GW God. I guess she's good if you want your 5 mana ramp as slow and grindy as possible?

Did you want a 5 mana fires effect that gets absolutely stupid on big creatures? Cause you got one.

On Chronicler: Its one of those cards where is seems clear that its an effective card (on curve body that doesn't cost a card!), but isn't really interesting enough to want to dedicate a spot for it.

I have refused to cube Land Tax forever. Its just so miserable a card in constructed. I never felt the need to give it a chance. Now, I'm thinking about it, and it is something pretty unique to drop on turn 1, but I still think I hate the card. Anyone have any ideas that might change my...
