In the early stages of these forums, it was usual to open a thread to a topic, post some links to cards to start with and let the discussion happen. As my English isn't good enough for creating a good opening post, I'll do just that. :D To achieve an environment where Heroic...

Reckless Rage'ing your heroes sounds pretty strong! :eek: You use some heroic cards to support your token archetype, which is fine as there is a perfect overlap between tokens - heroic - spells matter. I just wonder if you could push it further, as I find the value effects of Labyrinth...

Rimestag, cool art, easy condition. Cub isn't interesting without any other energy cards, it just plays like one of the red og INN vampires, without the cool Innistrad flavour. Attacking with a 4/4 on t3 is nice, in Flash it's even able to block as a 4/4.

Horobi + Willbreaker looks pretty cool! I guess you're right, removal needs to be toned down, and with that, threats need to be, too, but that's something I'm willing to try. I want a nicely balanced environment, with lots of decisions during draft, deckbuilding and while playing the actual...

I think there is one topic a lot of Riptiders tried to make work in their cube but no one got satisfied with: Heroic. I wonder what an environment needs to look like to make it fit, and what the actual problems of Heroic.dec are. Do you need removal to be mostly at sorcery speed? Aren't...

That's true, I always looked for a weaker version of Carrion Feeder, but they're all too weak. Feeder not being able to block while also not running Gravecrawler makes up for the missing activation cost. @ Dom: that's what I wanted to say: especially the 'free' sac outlet that draws a card...

Wish it had mana in its first activation cost instead of life, comparable to Thallid Soothsayer and Spark Reaper. I guess you guys are right, sadly, because I love the artwork, and I love the characters from that MtG period. :(

Was it oppressive in a dedicated deck, or did it just as well as you expect it from a card that needs you to commit? So, Yawgmoth isn't good because the cards it supports (by repeatable Proliferate especially) are so damn strong? I don't play with planeswalkers, the only counters it is able...

I support Aristocrats and Proliferate obv, but I do not run any planeswalkers (because they objectively suck very hard). I also think the costs are real and demand for synergy, but he's still pretty strong. You might be right on this. I just love the design as a whole, and because you need to...

I used to run Shelter but I don't like protection, even if it's temporarily, as I also don't like creatures getting unblockable so easily (flying and menace are exceptions). What I like is Vines of VastwoodBlossoming DefenseSaving Grasp

I like attack triggers, especially if they don't come with haste (Rankle, Master of Pranks is an exception). Backdraft Hellkite does have the potential to run away with the game IF you can protect it for some turns. What I don't like is its big evasive body while costing 5 mana. At 6 mana it'd...

I'm surprised people here play so many powerhouses like CCommand, Exclude, Counterspell and Mana Leak. Those are the ones I strongly consider: MiscalculationComplicateCountervailing WindsSupreme WillDismissConfirm SuspicionsSage's DousingCalculated DismissalSyncopateCondescendDissipateSinister...

Those are all 4drops I like to play (didn't see every single one in action and I think about adding some of them). My question is: would you consider them all to be roughly the same power level? The cube is very synergy-based, so some cards that can't come up with sheer power do have lots of...

If you support themes like RUG lands/landfall and BUG selfmill (just like me) then you HAVE to try this card. You should just make sure that there are enough decks that want it.

BC Giant is great, I also like Warfire JavelineerIgneous ElementalHeart-Piercer ManticoreMardu Heart-PiercerMorkrut BansheeAffectionate Indrik

Identity. The unicorn I think is a perfect fit (I like Grumgully, the Generous more, but RG already has tons of interesting cards to offer), the mentioned Ironroot Warlord was a perfect signal but is just a bit too weak, and I'm still thinking about Slimefoot, the Stowaway in BG which also is a...

Love the unicorn, but I also struggle with my selesnya gold section. Renegade RallierTolsimir, Friend to Wolves are my other two gold cards. I find the Rallier to be more interesting than Timely Hordemate (which I still like) and Tolsimir is actually pretty good in my cube, as there are some...

Ah! Pia Nalaar

Red does have a lot of interesting and playable 3drops: Tuktuk the ExplorerDualcaster MageSin ProdderStromkirk OccultistMarkov BlademasterPyreheart WolfWeaver of LightningGuttersnipeChandra, Fire of Kaladesh

You do have a point. More often than not, I'm posting here throwing in random thoughts right away before thinking them through thoroughly. Uyo still looks somewhat interesting to me, as I do not have a high powerlevel, and most cards copying instants/sorceries don't look interesting enough.
