Hot damn.

Yeah, Flame Jab is not a game-closer. I like it best as a marginal trigger for other things....which probably has a little less weight in your cube without Young Pyromancer and prowess/magecraft dudes. I think Living Twister is a very clear signal in Gruul. Do you see the assault effects being...

Flame Jab, Seismic Assault, Living Twister, and to a lesser extent Borbo is a lot of operational redundancy for one archetype. I think one could go, and Seismic is the least useful of these imo. It might be helpful to explore cards that can take advantage of the mechanic of discarding of...

I'm not really a fan of Worm Harvest at your power level. I also think Spitting Image is a little on the slow side for your environment. Why Seismic Assault over Molten Vortex btw? Tectonic Reformation can probably go. It's pretty narrow in your list, and doesn't stand on its own. You would...

This actually touches on part of what I mean by restrictions breed creativity. Resourcefulness comes to mind a lot as something I enjoy during the draft process. If I have tons of flexibility in mana, I'm less impacted by the moves of my fellow drafters. If I'm more limited in mana, I have to be...

Yeah, this makes perfect sense with your mana base. I don't like the idea of this at all. I need "greedy" includes to come at a higher cost and for there to be a chance it doesn't work out. This also negates some of the tension you would get in signaling, and I particularly enjoy that dynamic.

Ah, I'm sure @Jason Waddell will sort it out. Hope my pool is closer to the 2nd than the 1st tho!

Great topic. I like how you've laid out some of the benefits of an upgraded mana base. It's definitely something that the average cuber could consider more carefully in planning their cube. Your mana base can set the tone for your environment. To complexify the discussion a bit, I'll offer a...

Nexus is an all star in my cube. Being more expensive and a self shuffle makes it harder to abuse in a midrange value way. So the only decks that get to abuse are the ones that have heavy self mill. It has value in my cube even if you never cast it. It’s a super unique card that I really enjoy.

How valuable is a free repeated sac outlet for you? I'm leaning towards Yahenni, because you say sacrifice is an aggressive strategy, and Yahenni particularly excels at steering sacrifice in that direction. I really appreciated how it helped keep my sacrifice decks from always getting bogged...

Vibe>All. 1st printings or bust.
