As Crime isn't targeting, I wouldn't put it in the very same category as Duress and Blackmail. Mesmeric Fiend is something I already thought of, especially because sacrificing things is real in my cube. I guess I'll try it, thanks.

I don't like Brutality. I know, people here love it, but I find its modes underwhelming and redundant. Doomfall looks reasonable but Not very good. Duress, Crime and Blackmail already Take five (!) slots in my list. :D I'd Like Lay Bare the Heart to be a 1B Distress but that seems impossible.

Psychotic Episode I reeeaaally consider adding this card. It's tough to find well balanced discard spells (Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek are too strong, Distress sucks with double b and Lay Bare the Heart doesn't hit planeswalkers anymore while nearly all of the alternatives are way...

What do people think of cards that reward players for fulfilling repeatable 'small' conditions once per turn like Vengevine or Jori En, Ruin Diver? Are they, especially Vengevine, too easy to break? It's monocoloured and has a direct impact on the board in contrast to the latter. My personal...

Bloodwater Entity is REALLY sexy because of its very balanced design. Torrential Gearhulk on the other Hand seems busted in comparison to the 3rr menace Goblins, wouldn't play that one. Brutal Expulsion and Supreme Will need to be tested another time. Thanks for reminding me

Looks very boring. Qasali PridemageKnight of the ReliquaryRenegade Rallier Love Qasali and Knight, and as much as I like the Rallier somehow, he doesn't seem to be strong enough to be in the same slot as the Knight. What do you people think?

super solid tho.

Impulse vs Telling Time vs Strategic Planning Digging deep vs high flexibility vs grave-filler. I really don't know which I prefer. Blasphemous Act vs Star of Extinction Punishing overextension vs removing planeswalkers and an utility land. What if one doesn't have Boros Reckoner in their...

If your Gruul decks are more into ramping out big creatures, Arlinn usually is a cool choice. It's also playable in midrangey lists, but e.g. Jund lists like Huntmaster a lot more. Personally, I'm totally in for the latter one as it needs some play to it to get really strong, and it's defining...

Nephalia DrownyardSilumgar's CommandRibbons of Night 'yard is one cool control finisher, especially in cube. Command is the perfect answer on two cards, being two colours and costing five mana seems perfectly appropriate for that kind of effect. Ribbons of Night is similar to the command...

I'm right in the process of lowering the power of my removal. It is very important to me that all the removal spells are comparable in power level. For example, Doom Blade, Go for the Throat, Ultimate Price, Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, Journey to Nowhere, Terror, Murderous Compulsion...

I just like the idea of pumping mana dorks or other small bodies in the late game, but Wolfir Silverheart and Verdurous Gearhulk both are way too busted and I looked for alternatives. Jugan gives the pump to a dude after dying and needs to get handled quickly as it's a big evasive body. It's...

Sandsteppe Mastodon vs Jugan, the Rising Star

Okay, one is VERY conditional while the other seems to be the best of all the clones out there. I guess I'm going without clones in my cube then, most of the time they aren't even fun. :> Yosei, the Morning Star vs Sun Titan I want to add another cc6-finisher besides new Linvala, but both of...

I love Goblin Trenches and Lightning Helix. The third slot for Boros in my cube often changes. There was Firemane Avenger in my first iteration of it, then I added Warleader's Helix, but I found it to be awkward between Helix and Ribbons of Night. After that, I added Boros Reckoner, but it...

Cackling Counterpart vs Vizier of Many Faces

I run the Archangel back when nearly half my red section was about burn. It rarely wasn't dealt with immediately. On the other hand, I do believe that now it could be too strong for my list, actually. + 1 for Bygone Bishop, I love that card and cannot believe that I really didn't suggest it...

Drover is way too mana intensive while Mentor usually works in a mid-powered cube. Easy for me. If your cube is lower in power, Exemplars might be too good, although I personally love to play it. The Archangel is somewhat uninteresting, 3 toughness makes it easy to remove.

+1 for Trueheart Duelist way more interesting than Call of the Herd as it's a human and in a colour that really needs some value cards that still produce interesting lines of play and boardstates. Does Vizier of Deferment work in declare attackers/blockers steps? If so, then I find it to be an...

I find it way more intimidating and scary if there would be a giant feathered lizard in front of you that's making that kind of noises, still aware that it's so easy for it to kill you, and it wants to hunt you down because it's going to eat you up like a bird eats up a worm.
