the aristocrat was truly a magnificent magic card and i miss it more than i miss any standard card that is not vengevine, squadron hawk, or fauna shaman

People forget the Thragtusk decks were not that great against aggro (I guess Jund was, but Junk Reanimator had a pretty bad matchup with "RDW" if you will and slaughtered most everything else). I'm not saying the card fits everywhere and ffs it was $20 in Standard! but it's great fun in more...

My cube has been around for a little over two years now. Much of its history is documented on its thread http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/cmls-cube-405-polychromatic.23/ and its splendid genesis is here: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=10397...

i'm throwing it in again because bestow. it will not wrok one of the more memorable gamestates involved my having a lock with spikeshot and lightning greaves, except i couldn't get it to do more than 1 because i didn't have another creature so i could switch off the greaves and switch on...

sure what the hell. you don't need to run it of course and i'd argue that only high-powered cubes want a card like that. can you imagine it battling with Grizzly Fate?

5-drops are in an awkward spot (neither curve-topper nor finisher) and the Thragtusk effect is 'at odds' with what 5-cost guys 'should do' that I'm fine with it. It's obviously super-powerful but so are Reveillark and Baneslayer Angel, it's not really more powerful than them, and they fit that...

I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SQUADRONING THOSE ILL HAVE YOU KNOW (and you should too)

yeah but it's not that strong. i don't mind the design from a power-level standpoint but it is really annoying to fight, and few people like ticking up AoT so i think just running Mind Sculptor is fine. as for what happens in Cube when you push that control planeswalker a bit more, personally im...

I don't get the whole Grim Guardian thing

Sure, it's a victimless crime and that's no crime at all, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go off to college in 2006 and tell people I'm from Seattle and hate* all of them who bring up Grey's Anatomy *and maybe still try to fuck them anyway (unsuccessfully)

I feel as Jason does about a fast Griselbrand in Legacy and the joke goes that you have to beat Reanimator only once in a real game because their deck will self-destruct once per round, which means it's of acceptable "quality" but let's not forget 2/3 of these games are terrible and you're...

squadroning pod sounds like the worst because it's hard to beat just one and then you can't build a "kind of" birthing pod deck

Ascendant is poison I like the Sisters Pilgrim is cool

RR activations may fix it

I like all of these choices enough to at least try most of them. I think Pridemate, Raptor, Loam, Myr, and Drum all need the extra help and are ideal candidates. Champ, Servant, Pyro, Eidolon, Pod are fine being picked 1-by-1 in my pretty high-power environment, but they could work with minimal...

jesus christ recurring nightmare! posted at 3:48 AM after skirting a massive pileup near my house that certainly resulted in death

i think the response on this thread amply illustrates how this forum's disdain of commander differs from MTGS's disdain of, well ... good show, cube forum

well you gotta run Venser, the Sojourner. beyond that azorius charm and brago, king eternal are options while sphinx's revelation and geist of saint traft are a good fit for my powerfulish environment

now this is true but on the other hand i like to read a lot and i don't want to bring up my thing for english literature and get some neckbeard talking about lord of the rings. on the other other hand, i also hate most people who use their interests' status as an excuse to be a prick about it...

i wonder if tinker would be fun in my goold oold cube
