    lower power level cubes would love this kind of card he does take over the game if you have enough mana to pump into him

    I like those cards. Sylvan Caryatid is a tasteful implementation too. check out my homey's SCG-winning deck: http://sales.starcitygames.com/deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=69434 afterwards, portland radio heard the world-historical announcement, "I used to hate hexproof guys, but now I...

    General What cards are you testing from M15?

    sure, i'm with ya. i dunno why not to print out and test every m15 card (and every new-set card) that i'm vaguely interested in, though. i guess outsourcing the work to RipLab makes sense but i enjoy being on the front lines of this stuff and have said stuff like "DRS eh" and "Miracles and...

    i think loyal cathar is way closer than skaab ruinator. the problem with ruinator is that two "fringe archetypes" (or whatever you want to call it) do not justify a card's inclusion. this isn't a theory problem so much as "welp that went 15th again, time to put in something else"

    General What cards are you testing from M15?

    Wadds -- not to hate but I don't get the point of set reviews. I will even make you feel better by posting these, which were written by a minor Magic figure: Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded Constructed: 2.5 As I’ve myself said numerous times, this guy is more impressive than he looks, solely because...

    hey now i love most of those mechanics. i dunno what your greatest joy is when playing magic but mine is checking to see if i have 7 or more cards in my graveyard -- or hand! up with Saviors of Kamigawa I say. let me resume hating: ripple is unbelievably awful. it's funny to mind twist...

    the theoretical reason it is great fun in cube is that the 'power 2 or less' restriction is fundamentally broken -- contrast reveillark with return to the ranks -- and the context of cube can then 'unbreak' it however much you please that and kiki durdles are great fun it's an extremely...

    can you describe the context in which painter and grindstone are sweet? wadds: if you tutor up kiki-jiki you can keep tutoring up 2-power guys for all eternity. you can also attack for 1. the "power 2 or less" phrase also appears on beloved staple reveillark

    Everyone Come Look At and Work On This Communal Cube

    its just because i'm lazy and couldn't think of enough white cards. big projects: -add white -cut black -clerical stuff like removing the 2nd duskmantle guildmage -maybe add some fixing prioritized for enemy colors. i'm thinking 495-540 for a final size, the idea is that by dialing back...

    Which of those costs is more restrictive? I like "Green/x" as a theme but there's no reward for going heavily in that direction. Nylea is more a punishment for being dumb enough to share my taste in colors

    if you mean 2 colorless and something else: Reverent Hunter i'd probably include Kalonian Tusker if it were a 3/4, agree with FSR. Watchwolf isn't good enough but Tusker is almost there and Fleecemane Lion is kinda fun
