I agree. Also, Molten Vortex is decent, but I wish it also tapped for mana and drew you three cards when you cast it.

Yes link That was very fun to watch.

I don't think that's true. Compare: turn 1 Evolving Wilds, fetch a basic tapped, turn 2 play another land. To: turn 1 play another land, EOT landcycle, turn 2 play a basic untapped. Evolving Wilds is much better turn 1 if your only other land is a checkland; Ash Barrens is much better turn 1...

Ravos looks too slow and fragile for me. Needing your 5 mana 2/2 to survive a turn before it does anything is just asking for disaster.

You do. It's 40% to 39% out of 4291 votes.

That only works if they buy into the premise that Wizards selected the best 4 entries as the finalists, which means they would have to already believe that Wizards has a good understanding of cube design.

Can they do it? Yes. Can they do it without breaking singleton? Not likely.

No, I'm excited to draft Donate and hope Illusions of Grandeur is in the draft. Also to draft Endless One without the Eldrazi lands in the cube, and Squirrel Nest with no Earthcraft. I give it one week after launch before drafts stop firing.

The Pro Tour cube looks awful. Illusions+Donate which are only playable if you have both cards. Dragonstorm with about 2 dragons worth fetching. Punishing Fire with only one way to turn it on. Throwing a bunch of constructed decks from different formats together does not make a playable cube.

I tried a couple drafts of NoLands. It looks like a really interesting format that I would love to play, but I also have no idea how to draft it. My first attempt ended up in U/G with a Lab Maniac plan (with Mirror-Mad + Shapesharer for an instant mill) and some interesting synergies...

Sorry, forgot to add: "Strictly better" is a meaningless construct in the first place. Who are we to assign positive or negative utilities to various aspects of a card? That implies that you're just trying to powermax without taking the context into account. Smuggler's Copter isn't necessarily...

Here is a list to get you started. I would have missed any cards that were improved by removing text, and I only looked at creatures, but there should be enough examples there. It is notable that there was a long period over which the person's claim is mostly correct - as far as I know, cards...

Symmetric scry, so I don't think you would run it in any deck where you wouldn't run a vanilla bear.

The symmetric scrying will only lead to fewer non-games if someone puts a vanilla bear in their deck. Is that something you expect to happen?

I run 4 mana wraths and I'm going to at least give Fumigate a try, and very likely a permanent home. Life gain is a great side effect for a wrath.

3 to the face and a 6/4 for only 6 mana! So sweet!

I started off picking Balance (which I will just about always take) and Asylum Visitor, and built an enchantment-heavy B/W control deck. I have a few ways to turn The Abyss or Confinement into a win. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/605009[/url]"] Ones 1 Cryptbreaker 1 Land Tax 1 Sensei's Divining...

Blue is better at stocking the graveyard than white, and blue is better at taking advantage of artifacts than white. That makes Argivian Restoration much better than Refurbish, and Argivian Restoration is kind of bad. I would love Metalwork Colossus if it had menace or trample. Maybe trample...

I took Thalia and Thalia's Lieutenant early on. Went into green on Tireless Tracker because it was looking open. I got passed Hymn in pack 2, which really makes the deck. I have a few ways to break Smokestack symmetry. I may have overvalued Terramorphics, and I think I took one of my first ones...
