So, we finally have the Ars Arcanum article I've been waiting for: the spoiler analysis for this morph heavy format. Originally article is here, and the parts I found most interesting are quoted below. The charts are in the article, but are not essential to understanding his analysis (though...

Re: ramp decks, I have a player here that will comfort draft green ramp every single time. As a result, I really cut back on the ramp, and have been slowly adding it back in, with the caveat that it not be an easy comfort draft. So, some of the ramp cards i'm not really married to. Explore has...

I don't think I will cut persecutor, it results in some interesting board states, is a build around in its own right, and is a payoff card in the sacrifice decks. I like bloodline keeper, I think its a really well designed card. There is merit to the idea of running both of them, but I don't...

This conversation has me considering whether I shouldn't be running vampire nocturnus over bloodline keeper. Vampire Nocturnus Bloodline Keeper They are both powerful 4cc vampire lords that support loose tribal.

It dosen't bother me. I'm expecting your version to adapt for your players, and I'm looking forward to seeing the changes. The chief advantage of doing at least 1 run with a stock list, is that it gives you a solid frame of reference as to how things were designed to run. I'm ok with whatever...

I had considered spirit en-dal a while ago, the problem is that forecast isn't something you can really interact with, and I'm not sure I want games ending that way. ah, tallowisp, I don't think I have quite enough auras to be able to run that, though I do love the flavor text.

I figured I would baptize your deck lists with an exercise in maximum greed ;) www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/195306[/url]"] Ones 1 Hedron Crab 1 Mystical Tutor 1 Silent Departure 1 Silent Departure 1 Tragic Slip 1 Vampiric Tutor Twos 1 Brain Maggot 1 Chainer's Edict 1 Memory's Journey 1 Remand...

That actually looks reasonable, though i'm not sure its strong enough to make its way into a competitive gold slot. It does make me wish there were more cards like mul daya channelers, that change function depending on what card is TOL. I think angel of flight alabaster is probably the best...

Defy death looks good. Over here, miraculous recovery is something people are excited to play, so I feel like I would have to wait to make that change. Jabari's influence looks sweet, and I had no idea that card existed. Twilight drover looks too slow. Mirrorweave you would have to sell me more...

Thanks :) In the interest of full disclosure though, i've been toying with the idea of putting together laz's sweet scuttle cube for a while now. ----- I would suggest playing the list as close to the original as possible, and than adjust to your player's tastes from there. That gives you a...

Those seem fine for the most part. I would keep morgue theft in though and cut the urge for stitch together. Treacherous urge is a card my players really love because of the memorable games that it can result in, but its not essential to the list. Morgue theft actually does play an important...

I think those effects are always good, if for no other reason than the library thinning.

Sadly, splinterfright continues to elude most of our drafts, so I have no really cool stories involving him. We have, however, had a 15/15 bonehoard cruising around the table. Good times.

It also has horrible art. The thing looks like a cgi cartoon, or a computer model they forgot to finish. Rite of the serpent it is not. It also dosen't feel mythic to me, and I would have been fine with it as a rare. 90% of the time its just going to be a big dumb blue dude flashed in at EOT...

I cut boneyard wurm from my pushed environment. Bonehoard has been really fun over here. Its bad in matchups where there is lots of early pressure, but in games where you get punished less on tempo, its strong. I'm not sure that means boneyard wurm is objectively a bad card to run or not...

I think thats largely a question for your removal suite. Rith, godsire, and ultimatum are also both great timmy cards. The johnny in me also really likes Mayael's Aria.

I think this depends on your definition of good, but... titanic ultimatum uril, the miststalker woolly thoctar gloryscale viashino godsire marath, will of the wild marisi's twinclaws mayael the anima mayael's aria meglonoth naya hushblade realm razer rith, the awakener rith's charm tamanoa...

Yeah, i've never been a big fan of predator in general, I feel that the two 0/1s and 3/3 body make attacking kind of miserable. Sometimes the pod decks can kind of "go off" with it, where they pay life on pod, pod up the predator, and than can sequence out something else using the mana from the...

Hey, thanks! Glad you are enjoying it, I will attempt to answer your questions: 1. The out-in list should be pretty accurate. I originally ran two adarkar valkyrie, but cut one, which is why there is still one on the list. Sometimes I will make changes to the cube, and then update here in...

I just wanted to emphasis this point, because it’s just such a struggle for me to express. My main problem with my old cube was that I was just patching in other people's ideas without really understanding what environment I wanted, what environment I had, and how the cards I was adding would...
