Necromancy is delightful I also like Life // Death

here i advocate the "literary approach" rather than crunching numbers. something like "all the implicit card advantage made it possible for them to print very powerful removal that was balanced" makes a great deal of sense to me here. there is also "lots of activated abilities," "not too much or...

honest answers: no and no cube: the last time someone killed it with WW it involved some eight-and-a-half-tails subtleties and was completely hilarious. spellskite and mother of runes too. everyone enjoyed losing to it standard: standard control is easier to play than standard aggro right...

we usually do this in the middle of the draft anyway w or wo ULD

whereas, the best formats of all time have been Ravnica, Odyssey, and Invasion; whereas, all these formats had an assload of cantrips (including some lands at common that we like to ridicule on here); whereas, most of our cubes are sorely lacking in that kind of effect; RESOLVED: maybe we should...

i mainly put in sky hussar for the unexpected kiki-jiki lulz

i'll dissent from dom, it's a 2-drop that does stuff if you don't kill it

"cube cards"

i think i disagree with this idea in a vacuum. beatdown is intrinsically fun enough for enough players (at least competitive players) that you don't need to ask both my playgroup's best and worst player (the latter of whom doubles as my dad) twice to draft G/W. there has been more beef here...

"He traded goats for artifacts, artifacts for cards, cards for life. In the end, he traded life for goats." —Afari, Tales

nah -- it's not you, it's him the 4-drop itself MUST DO SOMETHING RIGHT AWAY (unless it's Galepowder Mage)

now this is true, but double lion is pretty powerful, so then you run into a development issue. who knows. the apes are pretty solid getting one at a time over here and my power level is a little higher than yours, not sure why aggro needs the extra kick looking at your list either.

I'm not sure where to go with this. The main objection my drafters have had is that this is "confusing," though I'm not sure how much of this is legit deference to new drafters and how much is inertia to bad old dumb norms. The Squadron Hawks are intuitive and funny enough that they'll stick...

the full-block format seems pretty good. TTT and BTT were a bummer, kind of fit the typical limited / power-cube paradigm of "20% awesome, 80% blech"

mnnnugh. if i wanna shock something repeatedly ill just add cursed scroll. sac outlets should generally cost 0

i am a fan chan: mana dork hands are just so much better, yeah -- drafting two-drops consciously in order to smooth curves is a good idea, but really just draft 6 dorks and draw them

Looks like you took Evasive Action again, so to speak

Per usual I would avoid the cards that are bad on their own. Gargadon for example fits neatly into that category. Krenko is pretty cool. The new Goblin Rabblemaster looks to be exactly what this needs. Legion Loyalist is strong with and against these strategies. Sprouting Thrinax
