I've long been cold on the spells matters tempo deck in izzet. Locust God's cmc is a bit prohibitive for me, but I've been pushing a more combo deck-burning spells deck that wins via Mizzix's Mastery and Rise from the Tide...so it could have a home in my cube?

I felt like I had enough things to tie up my mana and generate value into the late game that were more impactful than the deserts. I get the idea is that every deck wants them, but I wasn't enticed into biting for this build. Any chance I had to grab one, there was something more valuable for...

I'm looking for 2 black 3cmc creatures that fit this criteria: - No mechanics like morph and transform - I don't support tribal synergies, so I avoid cards like gravecrawler as they feel like false signals to me. - Mid-powered cube, with heavy graveyard and artifact themes: Draft list can be...

I'd go with these before seismic: Molten Vortex Flame Jab Stormbind Not sure how many cubes need more than that of the effect. There's a lot of ways to utilize lands in hand that I would investigate before increasing the density of that effect.

I appreciate everyone elaborating on their opinion. I’ll hold off on it for now. I may make a resource denial thread in a few days as I’m really interested in how it can contribute to a lower powered cube environment.

Yeah...That’s why I prefaced by saying “those of you that support resource denial”.... I’m aware that I’m against the grain of the average riptider on the topic, but was hoping to have a discussion nonetheless. Resource disruption is a very fundamental part of the game that can function as a...

WUT. I wonder if this is the card I've been looking for to make Academy Rector relevant in my cube. Yawgmoth's Bargain certainly wasn't it. Probably way too good with haste

For those that support resource denial strategies in cube, how do you feel about this in the context of an average mid-power Riptide Cube? Winter Orb I really enjoy what colorless disruption like Tangle Wire and Wasteland brings to the table, especially if it aids aggro strategies. I'd love...

I think I ultimately only wanted Tradewind Rider for a Simic resource denial deck, which was too oppressive with Opposition and Winter Orb, and too vague and anemic without. I cut that archetype in favor of Oath of Druids. Waterfront Bouncer has been my surrogate which slots readily into a lot...

Oddly enough, I do the same with Eternal Dragon. Tradewind Rider used to be my ballywick until I couldn't fit it into any archetypes I actually cared about.

Lucre was a little before my time, but it's always tragic to hear news like this....even more so for someone young. I lost a close friend last year to depression, and we were all at a loss for words. Just fucking hurts and sucks.

Pia Nalaar has good stats upon entering the battlefield which keeps it playable. 3 power on 2 bodies for 3 mana is a reasonable deal. Once in play, it gives you a couple options for addressing the board state, and can be a great unobtrusive mana sink in the mid to late game.

Pia and Kiran! I knew I was overlooking something obvious....as well as Pia Nalaar EDIT: Double strike creatures are great and definitely slot in well. Adorned Pouncer can be added to that list. However, the equipment matters bros aren't very appealing to me. There aren't enough equipment...

Hey guys, I've been looking to flesh out the identity of Boros in my cube lately. Historically, I've been a big advocate of prowess tokens on the back of Young Pyromancer and Monastery Mentor. As I'm looking to shave the top of my power band down a bit, Mentor is on the chopping block, and I'm...

insanity.

I've been so close to running storm in my cube. This might be the tipping point for me.

The issue with considering a card like Drogskol Calvary for its archetype support is that it hits so late in the game while requiring additional resource expenditure to make an impact. Outside of cheating cards into play (reanimator, etc), 7cmc cards are "nail in the coffin" cards. For go wide...

7 mana is an awful lot for a long term value engine. When you're running cards like Thragtusk, Shriekmaw, Flametongue Kavu, Meloku the Clouded Mirror, Drogskol Cavalry seems veeeery underwhelming. Other higher cmc white creatures...What about Eternal Dragon or Exalted Angel?
