    General Answers for Tokens

    Shouldnt this thread be called destroying tokens? Tokens are quite heavy in my cube too so its something ive been thinking about as well. Am considering bile blight but uncertain about adding more heavy black casting costs. Mulling over echoing decay. Im not sure how much specific removal you...

    Card/Deck Gut Shot

    I'm guessing this is inspired by the young pyromancer deck. Gut shot seems like it would be good with multiple pyromancers, but distinctly average without it. Which decks other than red want it anyway? If you're actually looking for ways to punish the one toughness guys you're better off with...

    Card/Deck Red Tokens

    Is the key to design the archetype not to be reliant on the 2/1 monster and just be good when you have it in play? There is a bit of overlap here with the heroic deck.

    Card/Deck Cogwork Librarian

    For those that haven't heard of my reference to Sushi Go, above, it's actually quite a good card drafting game: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/133473/sushi-go There's a card in there call Chopsticks that you draft face up (you draft everything face up) and that when you're drafting you...

    Brimax is clearly powerful, but it makes me feel a bit icky and I'm not sure I'm going to include it. I like courser, but I don't have a compelling reason to add it other than it's good and I'd quite like enchantment creatures to be good to encourage more main deck enchantment removal. Other...

    Card/Deck Cheap non-creature ramp

    I've just tweaked my list to include edge of autumn and search for tomorrow. Edge seems like one of the more interesting ramp spells that offers an interesting tension. The one mana dorks are relatively dull. They're kind of necessary but pretty interchangeable. The only one with any...

    I've just added sylvan primordial over Woodall primus. I've taken out all the cheat into play effects and figure the one cheaper casting cost is better. I will see how it goes...

    I would have to get over how fake this card feels first... Has anybody here played sushi go? Chopsticks!

    I gotta say back in the day fiery justice was awesome. I get that the three colour thing is kind of annoying though.

    If this does go ahead, do any of you guys fancy writing up some of the games/ thoughts on the cube etc? That would be super interesting.

    General How to make red aggro more fun

    I think red weenies tend to get chosen due to their efficiency and potentially have a bit less interest? One thing I find is that unless you're predisposed to drafting red aggro there's only a few cards that pull you into the archetype - goblin guide, sulfuric vortex, shrine of burning rage...

    General Life Gain as a Thing

    I've been considering whip as it helps devotion, is grindy and has lifegain applications too, but then realised it was another 4 drop with a cost of 4 to activate it so surprised to see it getting some love here. Enigma sphinx looks cool.

    Agree, it's not very exciting for a gold card. The selesyna guild cards are doing my head in at the moment. The only one I really like is qasali pridemage and the rest of them are just a bit blurgh. Anyone want to sell me on any of the others? I was getting sweet on loxodon hierarch but put in...
