I think thats maybe more of an oversimplification. Its a real card if your threats and answers are playing a meta game of rocks, papers, scissors with edict effects being part of that equation. Any of those guys became great in that instance, as threats that run support for more critical...

I think you break singleton in areas where you want to constrict your list. Ideally, you would never break singleton, as singleton provides the maximum amount of format diversity, however that tends to come at the expense of strategic depth. One of the places where we are most likely to break...

Where do you play? I've got a grixis delver list on modo that will take the skaab challenge.

Isn't the problem with blisterpod that it discourages attacks? I mean, you swing in, I chump, and now you ramped me seems pretty terrible. Which would make sense since the limited environ is going to be battlecruiser magic, where they want people durdling up to 8 drops. Blisterpod does a...

My general experience with lifegain themes is that they consist of two-sub themes, one focused on life-bleed, and the other focused on life pay. Syndic of tithes is something that goes into a semi-aggressive midrange deck that deals with board stalls and a lack of reach in B/W via life bleed...

But do those girls like discard suites in their cubes?

I've never been a huge fan of AP lifegain aggro either: its a bit too clunky of a mechanic for me, with only one real incentive card that you have to break singleton on. I like the lifepay theme better as a sort of BWG pairing and more of a controlling or midrange deck, where green and white...

I would suggest setting expectations with your players: some of those themes are going to be harder to impliment than others. Also, coming to a final decision on how large your cube is going to be would be helpful. Lets slow down here a little bit, there is a lot to talk about even in this...

Anyone that wants to watch 4 hours of sweet tukatongue thallid action, I have the cure for you.

A few questions 1. Could you talk a little bit more about what you didn't like about your other cubes? 2. How large are you planning the cube be? 3. Is your group looking more for: A. Diverse, casual experience B. Strategically deep competitive experience 4. How large are the drafts you...

Here is another Aristocrats deck, this one running teysa and tukatonque thallid, so it must be great. Abzan Aristocrats by Steve Rubin Format: Modern - ORI Location: 2015 Grand Prix Oklahoma City - 9/12 Finished: 9th - 16th Place 4 Blood Artist 1 Cartel Aristocrat 4 Doomed Traveler 1 Eternal...

Similarly, here is the pauper unearth based list whose ideas I ripped off. MBC-Rats SneakAttackKid June 2013 Creatures 3 Augur of Skulls 4 Chittering Rats 3 Crypt Rats 2 Okiba-Gang Shinobi 4 Phyrexian Rager 3 Ravenous Rats 19 cards Other Spells 3 Dead Weight 2 Echoing Decay 4 Geth's...

Here is a pretty interesting article which should be applied to cube. It compares vintage and legacy, where the power level of the cards have effectively constricted the card pool down to a managable size, with pauper and modern which tend to have very expansive formats due to the size of the...

lol...its possible that your group might be better at multi-player than mine. They would usually just shoot off the discard effects at the first chance they got, which of course makes them function more like attrition discard than targeted discard. No one ever really liked thoughtseize though...

That surprises me a bit; thats very different from when we play multiplayer (though we always do free-for-all when we play multiplayer). One thing that I forgot to mention, is that one of the advantages of having discard (in particular persecute and nightmare void for us) is that it provides...

Just pillage the new set and be the first to run an "exile matters" theme. :)

Giant like for trolling people in modern with persecute. One of the issues with thoughtseize, is that there are two reasons to run it: 1. You want a piece of ubiquitous action to disrupt a combo deck. Good! 2. You are a spike and want to win tournaments by generating a certain percentage of...

He's flying, so usually he just connects and starts taking over the board. He's broken wide a lot of games over here when he comes down late and starts swinging in. Its just nice to have an alternative to geist or dragon: two cards which are essentially duplicates, and where the worth of the...

Unearth is best with dudes that either send themselves to the yard with an ETB or LTB, or will soon likely find themselves in the yard. Having a CC of 3 is also beneficial, because it lets you sequence out a two drop and get a 3 drop in the same turn. Some cards I like/have liked/would like...

This guy I dug up a year ago has been a real gem: somnophore
