It's worth remembering that these effects are the way they are because of ANT in Legacy. This should give some perspective on why we can't seem to get a good 'wheel-alike'.

I actually quite like this card. I think I may be paraphrasing from LSV here, but I remember him talking on-stream about the problem with counterspells in limited, namely the tempo loss it gets you if you don't wind up able to use them. This card does a good job of making that more of a...

I'll concede that my tendency to play control makes me more skittish than normal about this card, and that my worst fears may be overblown. I just feel that, (especially in a token deck where the control player may be forced to spend a card to remove an otherwise 1/1 token) it can be especially...

I'm not sure how I feel about Conqueror's flail. It's no small thing to lock out an entire archetype for 2 mana plus attach cost. Depending on the control color combo it may not be able to remove it at all if it hits. (U/B comes to mind) Sure, you can argue that they 'should have had a...

Whoof. Lemme tell ya, a month straight of jewish holidays will take its toll on anyone. Thank goodness I can put that behind me. I'm a huge commander player, so a lot of this set excites me for the commander format- however, probably what I'm most into so far cube-wise are those sweet...

I don't hate the guy- in fact, I'm sure he's nice, intelligent, and his cube (at least in part) deserves the following it has. He's just been put in this -really- awkward position. I don't think anyone here is talking shit about Klug (or at least, they shouldn't be). The people to 'blame' (if...

I getcha. I tried to draft something a little different: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/627333[/url]"] Ones 1 Duress 1 Preordain Twos 1 Bitterblossom 1 Collective Brutality 1 Jace, Vryn's Prodigy 1 Omenspeaker 1 Snapcaster Mage 1 Thought Courier Threes 1 Monastery Siege 1 Sea Gate Oracle 1...

So, I tried a hand at your updated cube. I tried to do something different than my last deck, but I did not succeed. Deck has white in it now, though, so that's nice. Looks miserably fun, and I mean that in every way possible :D www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/627319[/url]"] Ones 1 Avacyn's...

Season's Past is a great engine, and one I'm considering for my personal cube currently. It works best with a cheap tutor such as DT or Dark Petition, so you can just keep cycling it for a soft lock.

I adore your formatting. You obviously like Squee quite a bit- has he not been a bit slow for you?

Regardless of the contest outcome, you made a pretty sick cube. I hope this won't be the last time we see you.

Haha, I had fun anyway :p I actually misclicked when deckbuilding. The blood artist should be a raven's crime.

Decided to give your updated cube a try! First picked a Gitrog Monster because I was feelin' it, and wound up really happy with how the deck came out. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/624931[/url]"] Ones 1 Arbor Elf 1 Birds of Paradise 1 Boreal Druid 1 Darkblast 1 Elvish Mystic 1 Phyrexian...

Things, happily have gotten much better for me. I hope to get back into being active here. Thanks for asking! Unfortunately, due to the issue I haven't been able to cube much (or at all) over the past month or so, so I'll need a bit of time to ramp back up. On the subject of the cube contest...

So... I just got back from a bit of a leave of absence (due to various life/medical things.) I'm back in it now, though, and I thought I'd start by taking a look at the Cube Contest finalists. ...I haven't read the entire thread because it's quite long, but am I beating a dead horse when I say...

Thank you so much for your feedback! It's a lot to process, and I'm gonna need a little time to go through it. I just wanted to let you know of my immediate appreciation!

I wound up going 3-1 with this deck. Had a lot of fun... did not open any of the 'great' bombs of the set (gearhulks, chandra, etc.) but I had a really solid curve that had under-costed threats at each CMC. It was a very efficient deck. [cubedeck] Ones 1 Oviya Pashiri, Lifecrafter 1 ornamental...

After the last few 5 mana wraths, it's nice to have one without extra text that isn't -essentially- trinket text, amirite?

Attack? I thought I was just gonna sac this guy in response to my own Balance... :p

Great new artifact archetype enablers! Really going to be excited to try these out!
