    Barrin, Tolarian Archmage vs Aether Adept vs Exclusion Mage vs Man-o'-War The blue three drop bounce on ETB slot is hotly contested these days. I'm on Exclusion Mage at the moment for Riptide Laboratory synergy and ease of cost, but the fact it can't bounce your own things does bug me a...

    I also like Wayfinder as it's good at finding particular lands, which Hermit Druid can't do at all outside of Loam or something.

    Maybe, but apparently other people have had different experiences, because they updated the wording in the new version:

    Some of my friends have been thinking along a similar axis and we've just started running pre-Innistrad legacy events, with Innistrad block being the cut-off due to stuff like Delver of Secrets, Snapcaster Mage, Liliana of the Veil, Thalia, Griselbrand and Terminus. The first event was at the...

    vizier of the menagerie was the first thing that came to mind from that description. I never got around to trying it but it does seem pretty sweet, anyone played with it?

    The "cast from sideboard" cards don't seem remotely plausible to me. The only way they'd work is if you showed your whole deck and hand to your opponent before you cast them. For some, maybe, but looking at this card: [/FONT][/SIZE] If I have a limited deck that's 22 creatures and one...

    I think it's almost certain they'll get special treatment. The original swords have both the inventions and the judge foils in the old border style, WotC definitely considers them iconic cards.

    I've had Ravager in for a while and it's been perfectly fine, if not the powerhouse it is in constructed.

    Mystic Remora Has anyone tried this out? I'm not sure whether in practice it'll play more like Rhystic Study or Standstill but I'd like to give it a shot. Also helps with the smirking fish theme in blue.

    Yes, Cranial Plating in particular killed people very quickly. The Swords don't have protection in my cube so they're a little easier to deal with, but with the amount of evasive threats I had they were still very effective. Jitte I think has sadly had its time. I personally don't mind...

    Aston's Cube

    Cubemas 2: Cube Harder was this weekend, and it was very well attended with 13 people over the course of the day. We had two nine player cube drafts, two poker games, smash bros, Theros: Beyond Death and probably even more that I didn't see. Here's a couple of decks: Ones 1 Birds of Paradise...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    X really sucks to play against, so I'm not sure it's worth the effort. You can activate it on draw step to lock your opponent out of the game apart from instant speed stuff, and it's very hard to get rid of.

    I haven't really absorbed the whole spoiler yet but right now there's only a couple of cards I want to try Nightmare Shepherd Anax, Hardened in the Forge Nightmare Shepherd seems insanely strong with all the good ETBs I'm playing, it might end up being a bit over the top. Anax seems very...

    Aston's Cube

    Couple decks from Cubemas. We drafted twice but it was a bit chaotic so I only managed to record my deck and one other deck, both from the second draft. I had a sweet UR spells deck in the first draft with Young Pyromancer, Saheeli, all that good stuff, and a couple of the best Manamorphoses of...

    Oracle is good because it puts the extra lands and some card advantage to find them all into one package. Azusa needs a lot more building around as you need to consistently find extra lands in order to take advantage of her. If you have that - cards like Life from the Loam and fetches...
