Nabbing a bounceland with it is a really disruptive tempo play.

Spikeshot has been a respectable first pick, and makes sense given the speculative possibility of wheeling the sledge. Both rider and salvagers are well supported. I would probably not first pick last breath: there are just much stronger threats in the pack, as well as stronger answers you...

engineered explosives is so amazing. Also deals with the artifact/enchantment problem.

Ok...I have a pack with no security blanket cards in it this time: lim-dul's vault spikeshot elder brutalizer exarch dismal backwater petravark wingsteed rider tymaret, the murder king last breath krenko's command piston sledge auriok salvagers temple of plenty sultai scavenger reckless...

Pyroclasm is limited by damage though: most small creature decks should be able to beat that through some combination of growth effects, protection effects, sac. effects, LTB value effects, or ETB value creatures. Or the aggro deck can just compost the dead into a giant fish... I'm really...

That great vintage Jaya Ballard flavor text pretty much sums it up. :cool: As for the two cards in question, I ran both of them and don't like either of them. They just cost way to much mana, and put people in a miserable deck that I don't want them to run: durdle tokens. These are the...

Some decks really struggle against vapors, its a unique answer to certain threats, and against the rest its like a pseudo wrath in conjunction with cards like archaeomancer etc. Remember, this is slower format, which makes vapors much stronger. I think utopia sprawl would be my pick here, and...

I also am on team worm harvest.

Thats somewhat surprising to me: I had assumed more people would go for consuming vapors, despite traveler, young pryomancer, and garden being in the same pack. Bombardment is a respectable pick though. I think its a choice between bombardment, sprawl, and vapors. Young pyromancer is the...

psychic purge No comment, just disbelief someone would submit that as artwork for a card.

I would go bow because there has to be some text on that card that will win me a game. The correct pick, however, is probably blood artist: powerful, cheap, and spashable. Here is one that should take everyone out of their comfort zone consuming vapors piston sledge spike feeder young...

Was pretty happy with the changes; however I will be going back to the old artifact count. I could avoid breaking singleton, but to do so I would have to compromise too much on the budget aspect of the cube. Basically, cut a row of bouncelands, add a row of painlands, than run the above...

Played with dimir doppelganger in the penny cube for the first time last night, and was really impressed with it as a tool for graveyard hate. I think there are a few catagories we could form here: graveyard wraths: angel of finality, relic of progenitus etc. Graveyard spot removal: mardu...

What mana base will you run?

I just lets you lattice "colorless matters" easier throughout the cube: morph and artifacts in this instance. Probably the best piece of which we have so far is herald of Kozilek: they just need to print more cards like that.

There are a ton of cards that exile, to the point where giving food to the eldrazi should be pretty effortless. Delve and flashback spring to mind. I think some of the most exciting inclusions to think about, however, are the wishes: burning wish cunning wish death wish glittering wish...

The problems I always had with the land cycling cards were: 1. They generally are attached to bad cards 2. They cycling cost is 2, which means they are a bad form of alt. fixing for aggro decks 3. Only a handful of them exisit, and of those that exisit even a smaller pool of them are not...

Think I may have found my high power version of goblin bushwhacker Atarka's command Thank you modern

I'm pretty much of the mentality that the tangos introduce a high powered conditionality to a mana base, which is exciting. A bit part of their appeal is the basic land types, because it means they can interact with a lot of other parts of the cube. You gain a powerful effect, due to the way...
