Lodestone golem is probably more reasonable. Precursor golem is such a sweet card though that I would run it if I could get away with it.

Thanks guys. I will try Tymaret in that slot instead. They've been slowly getting the hang of the environment. Their are still a lot of really poor evaulations going on, which is hurting them. For example, rancor has wheeled the last couple of weeks, which just should never happen. I've also...

Its a little speculative, because whatever package you go with has to be tuned for the cube, and I am still not sure where exactly master splicer and vital splicer fall on the power scale. I have no idea how good 5 power for 4 mana is in a lot of environments, but that standard is going to be...

Of the cards I run, these are the ones that interact with the golem tokens/splicers in various ways: darksteel juggernaut piston sledge snap ghostly flicker rusted relic throne of geth etherium astrolabe jor kadeen, the prevailer reclamation sage acidic slime hellkite igniter somber...

Yeah, they really are impressive value machines in conjunction with blink effects, and let you really grind out the midgame, fogging attacks while adding to your board, ect. Blade Splicer is a powerful card, so your friend is probably right. Master Splicer is also really good value in some...

Really interesting night, with one deck causing some stormy controversy. Ones 1 benevolent bodyguard 1 ponder 1 preordain 1 expedition map Twos 1 mindshrieker 1 cloud of faeries 1 brain maggot 1 echoing decay 1 momentary blink 1 golgari thug 1 nightscape familiar 1 sunscape familiar...

Its fun, compact, and artifically boosts artifact count. If you are at higher power level, its not really going to be tribal, more like "every once in a while you get some cool interactions between blade splicer and whatever incidental golem generator fits in at that power level (tuktuk...

If you want to really buff the aggro-combo infect decks, the big payoff card for them would be vines of vastwood. That might make the deck feel too non-interactive and explosive however. I really like the idea of running falling timber, as it functions as both a fog effect and combat trick...

This looks really good, and there are a lot of really fun looking cards in the set. I think you are right to tone down on the spawn makers, due to their ability to clog up the ground. I also really like what you are doing with the counters in order to make infect more broadly applicable. I...

For those of you that play this card promise of bunrei What kind of decks does it typically show up in? B/W with sac. outlets? Or is it just a general value card (with sun titan). Also, sick art.

I agree. Do you think this format would benefit from bouncelands and cloud of faeries? Maybe go down the splice road like MMA with red rites? I really like running harrow, its just a sweet card, and intersects nicely with a lot of other archetypes. Rootwalla is another really good card as a...

fwiw, pauper's problem is that it skews towards the non-interactive. ;) While I enjoy the format for what its worth, it needs some work. Madness is a fun mechanic, but crafting a home for it seems a bit tricky. You need to address the clunkiness, the inconsistancy, the reality that arrogant...

Madness decks aren't good in pauper, which makes me a little wary of the archetype even at low power. There also really isn't a great density of poweful payoff cards to reward you for going into a somewhat clunky deck, and those payoff cards that exist have largely been a victim of power...

Yeah, its a fun card. I wish there were some similar 3 mana versions of well: instant speed, target any creature. Its a really interesting effect in red. I think I'm going to have to keep an eye on fabled hero. I think its pretty close to being overpowered, but not quite there, and positioning...

@ the distortion strike, shadow rift, artful dodge discussion, I think I like artful dodge the least in cube. Its a poor mana sink, with its biggest value coming from being able to play around counterspells with more precision than the other two. Distortion strike easily has the best broad...

On the plus side, the major problem with cards like ghoultree and nemesis is the lack of trample, which gruul cards like ghor-clan rampager nicely solve. Bloodrush in general helps broaden the appeal of cards like ghoul tree, nemesis and kessig cagebreakers, which otherwise can feel a bit...

I usually find that nemesis or ghoultree lend themselves better to BG due to blacks ability to both add to and exploit the yard. I like the idea of using bloodrush to bridge the two archetypes though ghor-clan rampager rubblehulk zhur-taa swine Being the ones which scream "play gruul"...

Yeah, I don't think this is productive either. To clarify, I mentioned natural order because of your double post on page 4, where you shot down see the unwritten and than stated that natural order is probably your "fave big cheater." It looked like you were framing the conversation, though...

We had a few sweet ones last night, not really sure where to begin, but this deck was awesome. Ones 1 Ponder 1 Chromatic Sphere 1 Emerge Unscathed Twos 1 Momentary Blink 1 Myrsmith 1 Shrine of Loyal Legions 1 Ichor Wellspring 1 Myr Retriever Threes 1 Master's Call 1 Rally the Peasants 1...
