I know this thread is supposed to be about single cards, but... what do you guys think about the Titan cycle in a moderately-strong cube (lower than legacy power level). I was talking about it with a friend of mine, and although I'm personally a big fan of the cycle, he seemed to be under the...

Yeah... I really don't get this. It's a head-scratcher, and kinda undoes a lot of the work they did on synergy in Oath. I guess we'll have to see how it plays out in draft, but it's still a confusing direction to take.

So... cards like Are very weird in cube. Running multiples isn't the answer, I feel, to making these cards work, as someone could easily hatedraft a single copy and screw the player trying for these types of weird strategies. Then you have to include like six biovisionaries, and eeeeh...

So spicy! That chandra seems neat, but overall I'm unimpressed with the Oath cycle.

Here's a pair of cards that have a very similar effect: Which one wins out? A sweet ETB and mono-color, or a lower mana cost? p.s sorry if this has already been done, I haven't been able to go through the whole thread.

You know what I wish Allies would have gotten? A good ally lord. "Gatewatch Recruiter" 1w creature- ally shapeshifter 2/2 Other ally creatures you control get +1/+1 When Gatewatch Recruiter enters the battlefield, you may put a recruitment counter on any number of non-ally creatures you...

So, what are your guys' thoughts on Surge? I was really digging it with the initial spoiler of crush of tentacles, but after a lot of the recent spoilers it seems like Wotc is going for the 'nearly unplayable without Surge, and functional with it' as opposed to 'decent without; good/great with.'...

It's funny. I usually play blue decks, both in Legacy and Modern and if anything, it's made me appreciate uncounterable effects even more. When used properly, a card being uncounterable can really do a lot of good for a format. Look at Abrupt Decay in Legacy as a good example. I think part of...

If Pithing Needle hitting Treetop Village is savage, then what's Pithing Needle hitting a Fetchland? Being able to vial in that effect seems a bit nasty :p

I think it's worth taking another look at this once Oath is fully spoiled. There are already cards like spoiled, and I imagine there'll be more to come.

Not as pushed as Deathrite Shaman, though. Nothing will ever be that pushed :P

The 'problem' with TNN is that tapping out for 3 mana in legacy is really rough depending on your meta, and not really something I feel comfortable doing. It's why I run stifle/bob BUG delver over Liliana/hym. (although that comes with it's own disadvantages, admittedly.) Brimaz annoys me so...

TNN isn't unbeatable, just super gross. (coming from a guy who plays BUG Delver) Heh, maybe I'm just salty because he made Geist of Saint Traft irrelevant.

That'd probably work better. I've never really had a hugely overwhelming dislike for protection (save for TNN, that abomination should never have been printed), but people do get funny about it. You're right though, it's not very interactive. I do like the idea of simply being uncounterable much...

Sounds fun, let's see... "Magehunter" 1GR. creature- human warrior 2/3 Protection from blue. Whenever an opponent casts an instant or sorcery spell, Magehunter gets +2/+0 and menace until the end of turn. "No more running. No more tricks. Now it's just you and me, Beleren." Don't read...

Thank you for the explanation! I think my issue was that I wasn't considering 'tempo goodstuff'/'spells matter' to be a real archetype. That, and I was obsessing a little bit over trying to find something new and interesting to bring to a cube. But hey, if it ain't broke... I'm going to have...

Thanks for the heads up regarding the forum search! I am very new to the forum, and didn't realize that it was an already-discussed topic.

I love Chasm Skulker, it's super sweet! I guess you could also throw in and other similar cards? Do you have any alternative suggestions for a neat U/R synergy? It's been really causing me trouble, because U/R seems to be really singularly focused. Edit: The only thing I know involving...

I can understand that; Tutelage has some crazy value attached to just existing. Kinda like Consecrated Sphinx (though obviously not as good.) Do you think such an 'archetype' would be way too strong in a cube of deliberately moderate strength?

I was searching for something for R/U to do in the cube that I'm building, and stumbled across the Tutelage. Thought it would be pretty neat with the likes of not to mention various looters. Seemed like a wacky, different take on a storm-like archetype. It helps that Tutelage itself isn't...
