I ask my opponent how many cards in hand for the mind game factor alone. You usually need to do it at a mildly important decision point in a game or before playing something. You can leverage the question to bluff having a response to their cards, or having a threat you are holding back, that...

It's definitely within the same ballpark as languish and death cloud in terms of power. I've never really cared for it, because it's both mana intensive and doesn't allow for many interesting ways of breaking its symmetry (outside of recursive creatures and blink?).....which is a combination I...

This is pretty interesting. I didn't know it existed....I like how it incentivizes dredge and discard mechanics in tempo/aggro strategies. It can also be a pseudo Ophidian in a slower deck. A little too clunky for my uses, but it feels like it could find a home in your cube.

Thanks, bud! I’ll be okay. Just a lot of stress and big life things intersecting at one time

Definitely not a staple, but I’m not sure we can call any card a staple anymore on this forum. It depends on your design goals and power level. I don’t like skyfisher because it’s the best blink card. I like it because of it offers a unique set of applications and versatility. I don’t run...

Yeah the self-bounce is what differentiates itself. It’s a nice compliment to flickerwisp imo

Man I looove skyfisher. - Great baseline evasive aggro body - Reuse an etb creature - Can bounce itself for multiple cast triggers: clarion spirit, vengevine, shrine of loyal legions, etc - Can bounce sagas - Can trigger landfall - Reuse an etb land like the hideaways - Returning a land has...

oh yeah, that helps a ton. thanks!

I'm admittedly having a difficult time differentiating read from unread threads. So imma +1 this

I've been meaning to reply to this...I've been struggling with major life burn out, and I've had zero mental space lately for engaged cube talk. But I've dealt with similar issues with my cube, and I have a lot of thoughts. I think my network of players sounds more skilled than yours on average...

Except you can't spend mana to cast it

rielle, the everwise Is easily my favorite izzet card right now. In a lower powered context you can run more discard-centric mechanics like cycling and madness...great with looting and straight gas with wheel effects. Just a lot of fun and has a ton of play to it given proper support The...

Speaking of clubs. I unfortunately don't have much time to devote to writing and reading up on cube theory. If someone could just tell me which party the GCC aligns with, I'll happily pay the entry fee and like everyone's posts.

I was a part of the original Mirrodin fallout. I drafted Kamigawa a couple of times, but didn't sling another spell until Mirrodin Besieged oddly enough. So I completely missed Alara. Even still, Jund and Esper sticks in my mind a lot more easily than Mardu and Sultai

not yet, but we have a rolling admission if you are interested in submitting an application

dromar, crosis, darigaaz, rith, treva....umm

Yeah for sure. It can have a lot of versatility in the right context

Yeah stamina is great...fun with the fight mechanic and especially nice with some powers matters payoffs to give it some extra play: flamewake phoenix Anax, hardened in the forge Heart-Piercer Manticore Marionette master

I’m a fan of: supernatural stamina

Just made a big update. Power level has been dialed down again. Went from 380 down to 370 cards. Out: In: Pulled out some good stuff to allow for some other strategies to breath. I realized I hadn't given enough resources to some aggro and control strategies. Things feel a little more...
