I've never played with Recurring Nightmare, but I dislike the fact it's almost untouchable, since you can sacrifice a creature and return it to your hand in response to an echantment-hate spell from your opponent. Though, maybe the tempo loss caused by this bounce matters? It could give an...
The post was eddited multiple times, so you might want to reread it :)
Of the mentioned above, in my Legacy power cube I run the following:
Of the non-mentioned ones I cube:
High Market
I dunno if it's really good, but it faithfully served the purpose of activating morbid for me. EDIT: High...
Living Death
Has anyone had any interesting build-arounds with it? I mean, not a typical cheaty reanimator deck, but rather a "get-back-plenty-of-ETB-triggers" deck, for instance?
That's about it. I want to run Flame Slash, but even though it costs 1 mana instead of two, there're many cards that are better than it (I run Mortars and Exquisite Firecraft). But it's... I dunno... Flavorful? I might run it from time to time just for that reason
Does anyone still run Flame Slash/Roast, by the way? I love the artwork on Flame Slash, but I don't know what to cut for it (perhaps, Storm's Wrath), and, if to cut at all, then, maybe, for sth better than Slash? Maybe, not even a removal piece
My time is GMT+2, and I've had some drafting experience with Xmage, but, perhaps, you'd better leave me out of consideration for now, since university studying eats out almost all of my time. I'll PM when/if things get brighter. But, hopefully, my message will at least help rise more hype about...
*cough*
Oof, so much dust here :) So many years have passed. But I'm sure this thread can live. So.
Hi, Jason! Are you still running Bonfire of the Damned in your primary list? I've heard many people complain about it being immensely powerful, and, with your quintet of Brainstorms + some other...
Whoah, I've just woken up and my stream of consciousness may seem chaotic, but I'll do my best. Feel free to ask additional questions if my explanation will be messy!
1. We could also play Moxen and Sol Ring, but is it that fun? :p Jokes aside, I agree that one card might be not worth it, and...
Scourging the gatherer, I also found Dream Cache as a returning option, but I dunno... It's similar to Compulsive Research I've been cubing for some period of time (and 've been more or less content with it), but that card gave you the chance of getting +1 card in hand instead of going +-0 cards...
Earlier in this thread there was a discussion of hidden gems in White. What about other colours? Would be interested in the ones that could fit a high power (however, unpowered) environment
Mitotic Slime
Somebody tell me, why does no one play this card? Isn't it a delicious piece of fodder for sacrifice? It seems to me that its drawback is on the surface, which prevents literally everyone from cubing it, but not me due to my inability to see the problem with the Slime.
In our cube we have introduced a little different system of rules applied to fixing lands (at the end of the draft you get the additional amount of fetches and fast-lands depending on the number of land cards you picked during drafting the cube itself), plus the're some in the ULD section, so, I...
I think, it's time to get a fresh breath of air and introduce some new (possibly old) cards into my list, potentially going off the beaten path to some extent. I know at high power level there's a smaller variety of cubeable stuff than you could meet at lower power, and sometimes it seems that...
My thread-necromancy practice continues
I've recently came across Xmage as a tool for free cube drafting, and I wonder, are those simulators like Xmage, Cockatrice etc. legal to use? Here's a post on Reddit, that, if I'm not confusing anything, claims it isn't**, as long as you store the card...
