This used to be a power combo: sneak attack weatherseed treefolk How times have changed.

From team elegance pacifism And than this heavily conditioned but still powerful gem ghastly demise

This was absurd Tom Ross piloting dredge through a perfect storm of hate.

You can win in that cube prior to turn 6 and those pauper lists kill between turns 2-5. In cube, there is no reason to tight cast storm as a focused deck, racing to execute its combo. The familiar deck in the penny cube is essentially a bunch of value cards that happen to be able to combine to...

The familiar deck is a storm deck. It can produce infinite mana, is extremely resilient, and doesn't need to rush out the combo. When your mana base has part of the storm engine built until it, storming off becomes much easier, and engines can be included in a myriad number of decks. You're...

You could also take some lotr art pieces of merry and pippin being trapped by old man willow.

Big no to that switch

Does anyone have 3 white cards that slot nicely into G/W decks?

But the trip to value town is priceless!

This looks pretty reasonable. I thought G/W became a lot more fun when I ran landfall effects: that color combination is really good at exploiting that mechanic for value. Usually, it does a good job occupying a spot between aggro and midrange, which is quite nice for a multi-player format...

The individually that recorded the draft is Luis Scott-Vargas, he is one of the best magic players in the world, and probably the game's most beloved ambassador. You can read his bio here. Its possible to take a set of concepts from one format, and calibrate them to another format. For...

Right, but you don't have to verbatim recreate that deck, Some formats shouldn't even support storm (see our fair vs. combo format discussion), but for people that wish too and are struggling to do so, here is a format that did so in a neat way. Also, storm decks can be built to be slower with...

Its really far from tallowisp territory. Tallowisp is pretty close to non-functional outside of making some modifications to it, while brainfreeze sees play in a lot of existing cubes already. The topic kind of splits here, so let me address each prong individually. 1) Comparison of thought...

The red storm cards are much worse at actually killing people, but people keep on running them, on the basis that even if they never go into a storm deck, they can at least go into a value deck. I think thats the difference, the UB storm cards actually overlap since the same deck can benefit...

It really isn't janky in its role. The traditional cards filling that role are things like thought scour and dream twist , and brain freeze can outperform any of those cards, while also providing a way to justify running a storm kill condition. Its not as good a pure reanimator combo enabler...

And brainfreeze is the best of all of them.

Maybe its just your browser? I was just there. :/

On a serious note, the threads over at the balduvian trading post about this contest are really really funny. I think Doug is about to have a meltdown.

Ritual of the machine is probably my favorite card discussed so far. The flavor and art on it are top notch, and the conditionality attached to it both balances a powerful effect, while making it more interesting. Domestication is a neat card as well, because its costs much less then threads...

I had a slightly eccentric idea I wanted to run past some people. I know we had some initial excitement about running the colorless mana eldrazi cards, but (outside of customs) that quickly tapered out, because its practically a 6th color of mana. Its just very difficult to find your colorless...
