I dunno man, I think most riptide cubes already run tons of good twos, we don't have to go this deep. I agree on hellspark, keldon mauraders. How about bloodghast instead of the shitty skeleton or the pack rat? Some of the other stuff mentioned is pretty common in riptide cubes too: wall of...

Doesn't do many things that bloodsoaked champion doesn't do (AND that I actually want). Coming back without help is nice, but I actually like the no-blocks clause on these recursive dudes. Same reasoning behind me cutting Ophiomancer after playing with it twice. If at all possible (and a few...

Since we're talking about not being good enough to play melee competitively, I again have to bring up TowerFall: Ascension. It's mechanically and game theoretically similar enough to smash that smash players generally like it (though obviously the good ones consider it less of a 'real' game). At...

This is really good stuff Grillo (as usual). I'm not very familiar with your environment; do you have a read on how well some of these cards work in a typical riptide environment? (i.e. which might I want to try running first?) My list is just a modified version of Jason's old list. I...

ITT: Jason loses another fight to nudge posts to the correct thread.

I don't really have anything against folks running low pod densities (agree that it's a fine one off). Where I'm a bit confused are these stories of oppressively powerful pod decks. I just haven't seen it - not even once. Generally speaking if somebody dicks around too much trying to establish...

Seems like the consensus is that pod isn't right for your list, but I'll add my two cents to sell any future readers on the card. It seems like most replies focused on the fact that adding pods makes drafting more fun. That's definitely true, but I don't think that's the sell. To me, the sell...

Gotta go with (Cat)aclysm by default, cuz... http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac21/skrap_mtg/soulfireGrandMaster_zpsd4jbr2a3.png

I felt really clever until I lost the match anyway with like 8 cards in hand and a graveyard full of cool control spells :D I spent the rest of the evening trying to figure out whether I'm shitty at control or whether I've pushed recursive graveyard decks too far. Pretty sure it's the former...

Pretty much agree with the consensus on Whirler Rogue instead of Master of Waves although I was never on the devotion train to begin with so I'll have to find a slot. I cubed yesterday and got to play with Jace Vryn's Prodigy // Jace, Telepath Unbound for the first time. Before playing with...

This is pretty funny, but tbh I honestly can't really think of any other interesting scenarios that Wolfir Silverheart could create. Maybe I'm just a hater, but I ran the cube for a while when I was straight up copying Jason's cube, and it always just played like exactly what it is: a created...

I think I remember a CML rant about how this was terrible, but I forget the details. My thought is that if this is viable at all you'd have to squadron it at 3 or so, rather than break singleton at 3.

This may have come up once before and I've since forgotten but uh... is the SD you live in the same as the SD I live in? (San Diego) @the rest of the EDH tangent we just went on: my overall feeling that the format sucks is basically predicated on the impossibility of enforcing the social...

If we don't yet have a thread that collects those unfounded accusations by our players, we really need to start one. I've got one or two guys that always seem to think some random card they lost to is the most busted thing EVER and shouldn't be in my environment :P

Since we're (sort of) derailing into prerelease tournament reports, I picked black for the pre-pack, opened two off color duals, two big dumb giant green dudes, not enough other green dudes to run them, and a super sick UB control shell that completely lacked finishers. I bounced and owled my...

well I'll be damned, in mine he wrecks a full 71% of creatures (full disclosure: I didn't scrub the list for activated or triggered abilities that might make the previous a lie). I think this card is worth a spin. Thanks for championing it RM! And remind me to keep paying attention when somebody...

No worries Chris, thanks for inquiring about it for me! I'll keep that lib in mind if I get frustrated enough with the search capabilities on DA. For now I'm slow/perfectionist enough at putting together renders that I'm not running too short on art (and just keeping enough good artists on my...

The internet has made the world such a weird fucking place :D

Ummmm I don't suppose I could get my hands on that program (or source!!)? Would be veeeeery useful in sourcing art for the card alter photoshopping I've been doing lately.

she's decent if your power level is low enough/format is slow enough that the activation cost is attainable. I ran her in my low power grave cube back in the day (when I still cared about that cube).
