Also, do not forget the extremely relevant factor that if you have the creature(s) with the highest toughness, you get to keep it with Deluge, but not Damnation. And the usually irrelevant factor that Deluge kills indestructible creatures.

What other cards are cube allstars that really never had any impact in constructed?

Is playing raze a sign of a deep commitment to aggro or a sign that you've gone too far trying to screw over decks that want to hit five mana? Fulminator Mage is a fine card. If you do the utility land draft, there is rarely a time you won't have something to nuke. Being a creature is very...

It fits in the pox/braids/desolation aspect of blank nicely. While it does work poorly with gravecrawler, it works extremely well with Nantuko Shade, Nether Traitor, Reassembling Skeleton, Erebus and such in a way Armageddon doesn't. Armageddon actually doesn't seem particularly white (mana...

Mogi's Mauraders is great. However, he doesn't do black stuff. Serendib Efreet is much blacker then him.

I completely forgot about dragon mantle. Maybe that was for the best, or maybe its a decent piece of tech. Mentor of the Meek is also a card I totally forgot existed that could be of relevance. Off topic, I really wish Tempt with Vengeance had been white.

Warriors' lesson is definitely in my pile right now. I will not, however, be alright with it "just being a cantrip". White is always my color of lament. I've messed with so many cards and configurations, but the disparity in white is just so bad and the best (non-threat) cards all...

I was not aware that there was a cube size that shouldn't play Armadillo Cloak. Also your summary of Green-White is dead on. My father plays that deck you describe 70% of the time and never seems to get bored.

Chris: You really like Gods Willing more then Emerge Unscathed or even Brave the Elements? Is Scry 1 better then I think it is? Ember Swallower is a very sweet card that I probably won't ever play because it costs 4 mana. I agree with Chris on Tyrmaret, he just seems awful. I mean, I like...

I've always been sort of flabbergasted about how people believe that red is limited in scope (or even downright weak outside of hard aggro). Red gets board resets, sweepers (which are often semi-controllable), 2-for-1 removal and repeatable burn. While it can't really combat things on the...

CML: I obviously don't mean to say this isn't an interesting topic, but I think the separation is important. By discussing the creature type, we are more discussing the means to interacting with the card. If 50% of the cube is made of creatures, then 50% of the cube dies to wrath of god...

To further cement double pump as a red/white deck?

I have never really thought about this question. In my mind, cards do stuff. I make sure that I have cards that do stuff that makes decks fun, diverse and competitive. I don't think too much about the type of card that's doing the stuff. When we are asking about creatures, are we talking about...

I agree on 4. I think the angelic Destiny comparison is apt. The Bestow Version is not as good as Angelic Destiny, but being a Viashino Slaughtermaster on the side is a significant enough upside to make cost 3 seem overpushed. At five you should be winning the game bloodrushing wrecking ogre...

Something I've always thought, but never had the words to express: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showpost.php?p=11101457&postcount=131

While not a "manland", Kjelordan Outpost serves a similar role and benefits slightly from loam.

Sphinx of Jwar Isle in, a way, the perfect card. You play a STEEP premium for him in terms of mana to get a card who can only pound away or block, but avoids typical removal. You don't need to interact with the Sphinx, you have all those turns of build up to interact with your opponents...

Can you imagine the forum banter on this? "I was drafting last night and the kid next to me was a total noob. Who passes an X for a fucking vowel?"
