    whydirt's peasant cube

    Off these cards, the ones I like the most from my experiences are Fabled Hero Quirion Dryad Champion of Lambholt Tymaret, the Murder King Ghost Council of Orzhova Jori En, Ruin Diver Trading Post Fabled hero is a really exciting card if you have any sort of tempo proc. or growth effect...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    That makes sense. I also don't like how awkward those cards are during the draft, as people always want to pause and flip the card over to see what the flip side does. How have you liked vulturous aven?

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Anyone have any opinions on this card? Nezumi Graverobber I just realized there is one more defacto multi-color card in my black section that I missed stenchskipper I actually like stenchskipper, as it introduces an interesting minigame where a player may try to answer it by answering...

    Kirblinx vs Grillo: Non-Black Penny Pincer Grid Draft

    Ok, that makes more sense than. That whole sequence though was really interesting. Before I forget, mindshrieker is actually the reason why I run reclaim and noxious revival over cards like recollect Just a cool little micro interaction

    Kirblinx vs AtlasPud: Non-Red Penny Pincer Grid Draft

    Nice, I was wondering who atlaspud was. A few things, since safra asked about this card. mistfire adept it was a little awkward commenting in chat, but mistfire is a good card, just a bit clunky. It takes a little bit of work to get it into position, but it can generate some serious...

    Kirblinx vs Grillo: Non-Black Penny Pincer Grid Draft

    I think its ok, even desirable, and they really remind me a lot of quirion ranger in that regard. They appear to be very straightforward and easy to understand, as a 4/4 body that grants trample, but the more you play with them, the more you realize how deep they are.

    Kirblinx vs Grillo: Non-Black Penny Pincer Grid Draft

    A few more notes, now that its not late. Mina and Denn, wildborn were good, but felt much more reasonable than I had anticipated. I hadn't really wrapped my head around how to use them, and wasn't really playing them optimally: I would play them and forget about running out the second land...

    Sets Shadows over Innistrad Spoilers Thread

    Really excited to see more creatures with the skulk ability: adds evasion to avoid token stall, and allows cross support with heroic or aura based decks. Stoic builder also looks great, though I would like to see that ability shifted into another color. The entire investigate mechanic looks...

    Kirblinx vs Grillo: Non-Black Penny Pincer Grid Draft

    Here was the deck Went with a sweet little RUG Ramp Control deck. I like drafting these decks in RL, but this one got a little weird because of the grid. I picked up those bouncelands in the second to last pack, and didn't get any of the red X sweepers, which you usually want in a deck like...

    I think you would want to bring the ninjutsu down to 2-3? For everyone still confused as to why I like it so much, in my beloved goblin decks, a pretty common finishing play is to go wide on the board, and than crack around their blockers with one of these guys in play: goblin sledder mogg...

    The cool things about it are: 1. bloodthrone vampire has never been quite good enough due to the small body and temporary nature of the buffs. This doesn't have that problem. 2. Cheap and good sacrifice outlets are a rare commodity. This is an excellent one. 3. Its a black two drop that can...

    Inscho's Turn 2 Cube

    Can you check the cube's analytics in cube tutor? Thats a huge issue for the format's structure, as one of the major tensions is intended to be the tempo loss that comes from playing bouncelands. It would help a lot to flesh out the one drop section a bit. Even something simple like isamaru...

    Inscho's Turn 2 Cube

    I think we are kind of confusing the issue here. Ultimately, whether you swap out bushwhacker for hero or hellrider, you still end up having the same problem: these cards are designed to be color intensive finishers in a horizontal aggro archetype that could be suffering from a few problems...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    Made the limited changes described here. Well received, the three gold cards are just much more interesting than what they are replacing. I'm also running the more experimental patch, where we are moving off color flashback cards to the gold section, in order to increase color range. I'm...

    Inscho's Turn 2 Cube

    To boost aggro, I would put goblin bushwhacker back in, and add some of the red aggro token makers. dragon fodder krenko's command hordeling outburst Bushwhacker is a finisher for horizontal aggro based strategies, and without on color support, the deck doesn't really exist. It might...

    Actually, I stand corrected. Sorry compulsive research, but frantic search just wins. That card is so busted, in a good way. :cool:

    This is pretty interesting, there are two other contenders, this classic: careful study And I rather like this one as well careful consideration I'm always looking for cool instant speed things to do off of bounceland fueled rewinds (aka low power mana drain), and I rather like how...
