    Sets Commander 2016 Spoilers

    I'm with Gifts. I kind of hate these "off/on" hate cards like Grand Abolisher, Stony Silence, Rest in Piece or whatever. I know no one is advocating for the latter two but Conqueror's Flail seems in a similar ball park, and it's only in the discussion because the type of deck it hates on...

    Actually that's about the most mundane thing you can do with it. Planeswalkers which curve into Deepglow Skate and can immediately do insane ultimates: Ajani Vengeant Chandra, Torch of Defiance Ajani Goldmane Dovin Baan Jace, Architect of Thought Kiora, Master of the Depths Kiora, the Crashing...

    I can't even parse that second ability. I can't understand what the flavour is supposed to be.

    Unfortunately I couldn't catch it live because I was at my first ever Netrunner tournament but yeah it was pretty fun. I've still got about 20 minutes left.

    Since they're both a couple of my favourite stories, here are links to the combo deck with no win condition articles: Mike Long and Drain Life (it's myth #4) http://www.starcitygames.com/php/news/print.php?Article=21295 LSV and Tendrils of Agony Youtube

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I've had it in for a while and I've been pleased with it. It just does a lot for not much cost, smoothing out draws, providing prowess triggers and giving an artifact with a benefit on sacrificing. I don't think any of those is worth a slot on its own but all together, they make something that...

    I don't know how many of us stream magic regularly, but I've been trying to do it a bit more with Kaladesh being released and I thought it might be handy to have a thread for keeping people's Twitch info and saying when we're live. Twitch Info Riptide Lab Official Stream (Jason)...

    It does feel like the whole contest was a pretty low priority for them, unfortunately.

    Ah! Two interpretations and neither was correct. Still, that seems pretty strong, who didn't love casting Grip after all. I kind of want to try flashing it back with Torrential Gearhulk... And yes, it's possible our paths have crossed before - I can't imagine there are too many Magic...

    I re-read it and realised it's just double Grip of Desolation. That seems good.

    Why should you put Commune with the Gods in every cube you build?

    How is Volcanic Offering? It looks cool but I don't know what to do with it.

    I always like hearing about underrated/overrated cube cards or cards you have a pet like/dislike for. You may take this as an excuse to continue the crusade for Ion Storm.

    214/540 which is ~40% overlap. My least favourite aspect of cube design is when the designers go too deep on archetypes and the cube is basically several prebuilt decks shuffled together and the drafting process is putting those 10 decks back together, but I never expected it to be so literal.

    General MTGO You Make The Cube

    I guess we'll have to go back to forum drafts for our cube fix. I am disappointed not to see something super off the wall as a finalist. The Twisted Colour Pie one is the closest but I'm not sure even that goes very far. I wonder how many cards different the Pro Tour cube actually is from...
