Flametongue Kavu Giant Killer Wicked Wolf :p

That's a deep cut...

I'm not a big fan of this guy. While he definitely has explosive potential, there are a few problems I see with him that I think will make him not very good in most environments. First, a bunch of cards leaving the yard at once still only make a single zombie (provided the translation on this...

We Have Leeks! Neat! We also have some cards leaks! Source Pictures I want to go over some of the good ones! Encore is a new mechanic which lets you recycle abilities from your graveyard. This seems good for cubes with a graveyard element. This particular guy seems all around a bit...

Ah, I see you're a person of culture ;)

I'm working on a post about kicker cards, and I'm wondering what some of your favorite options from sets other than Zendikar Rising have been. I'm partial to Burst Lightning and Kavu Titan variants myself. Wolfbriar elemental also seems cool, but a little on the strong side.

I think Shatterskull Smashing is extremely overrated. While the card is indeed very powerful, most of the card's ability to slot into any red deck comes from the fact that it can come into play untapped. 3 mana for 1 damage is not very good, and while the ability for the card to scale up to a...

It's not like this is a bad product- people are only upset because mechanically unique cards are being released through a limited release drop. If this were "Signature Spellbook: The Walking Dead," available online or at your local game store, I think there would be a lot fewer complaints about...

Worm Harvest Worm Harvest has been a very popular card here on riptide over the years, and there's not doubt that it can be a good card. Here's the thing- I've never had a chance to play with it before! I was wondering if someone who has played this before can explain to me how this card's play...

I would argue the opposite position of both Erik and Blacksmithy- I do not believe Primal Might is a worthwhile cube inclusion, while Inscription of Abundance is a fairly reasonable choice. I've cooled over time in regards to fight spells being reasonable removal in cube environments. While...

I was considering this too after you made this comment, but after playing with Ugin for a couple of months on Arena, I am "delighted" to say that they somehow managed to ruin my opinion of our little spirity dragon boy. Man, isn't 2020 the worst?

Cutting Figure of Destiny seems like a mistake, especially when it's being replaced by a potential do-nothing like Path of Mettle. Path is cool, but I think it will be warming sideboards a lot more often than it is actually played.

Brad just did one of my favorite meme formats and I am very happy now.

I just started back at school so I don't have time to write something huge but I have a couple of opinions on this. . I really think this slot should go to Figure of Destiny. Figure is one of the best cards for cubes trying to support both red and white aggro decks, as it can go in both and be a...

I'd recommend using Magic Set Editor! It's a bit of an old program, but it works quite well for making professional looking cards. It has only PC native support, but it's trivially easy to get it working on Mac using an emulator such as Wine or something similar. I use the program on a Mac with...

Man I saw new posts on here and thought Grillo had returned :(.

How quickly do your Aggro decks win? I think Riddleform is a pretty terrible card in most environments, and I wouldn't touch it with a 6-foot poll unless I had a very specific blue-red deck in the format that had every cantrip à la crash through and every 1 or 2 drop prowess creature. It just...

Click Thought Scour for a surprise!

I didn't even think of this as a rule either way- people always seem to discuss spoilers outside of dedicated spoiler threads when the cards are actually relevant to an ongoing conversation (see- Maul of the Skyclaves in Elite Equipment). It's so hard to avoid spoilers these days if one is...

I'm studying biology. I'm looking to go to dental school after I finish my degree. Thanks for asking :)
