    General The Draft Exchange

    Drafted the Min/Max experiment! The elusive UG deck seemed to materialize fairly readily for me. Started with a Wolfir Silverheart, followed by Saprolling Burst. Think I pivoted into Blue with Master Biomancer. The red splash is very good-stuffy on my part, but this is what the format is trying...

    General The Draft Exchange

    Yeah, I don't know about the wraths either. I could see Linvala and Gearhulk. If the playgroup is seasoned, I guess the lands arent that big a deal. Just need to let someone new in on the gig, or they could find themselves trapped in a big way.

    General The Draft Exchange

    Did a draft of Onders new cube! First pick was Venser, shaper savant, followed by Clique. Getting used to new environments is always a trick, and this one is certainly no exception. Still not entirely sure how the mana base is working, but it was certainly tricky to draft into. One of the bots...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Think it's a fine card, but don't see it being OP in any way. Interesting that it's one of only two cards that straight up make 4 fliers for you in one go. Pretty clear similarity to Lingering souls. On a related note, I'd run this over Cloudblazer. They kinda occupy the same space in UW, and...

    Sigh, a Cube

    A solid looking list indeed! One card that I'm really loving in my white section is recruiter of the guard Curving recruiter into Whirled Rogue sounds awesome, but it also finds removal from man o war. Very happy that card was printed. Was a little surprised at one card I found in the SB...

    Sigh, a Cube

    A great question! To be perfectly honest, I haven't put enough thought into how to make the distinction. I think a perfect example from Alfonzo's deck is drana, Liberator of malakir The card is fine in a generic deck, it's good, but it's absolutely stellar in an aggressive deck with even a...

    Sigh, a Cube

    Totally did forget those cards! Westvale Abbey is a sweet card for this deck, and Siege is just bonkers as usual. I think Siege might even be on the chopping block for being too easy of a power pull in white. Not sure yet. I think it is important to have some punishing finishers for aggro...

    Min/Max Midrange Cube Experiment

    My sample deck concept is (was) definitely inconsistent, at least more than "normal", though it did secure the most player kills of any deck that night :P. Part of why I think that decks of >3 colors are hard to plan for or guide your players to, at least on purpose. Most legitimate four color...

    Min/Max Midrange Cube Experiment

    I think Tithe is the most sericeable of the (non-busted) Tithe effects. I like that it still works even when "off". Gift of Estates is very all-in, but I can still lay of the land with Tithe in a pinch. Tempted to try it in my own list. The one time I had a wonky 4+ color deck come together, it...

    Min/Max Midrange Cube Experiment

    The only problem I have with Tithe effects is that they search for plains. That's such an annoying restriction! It makes it harder to splash them, nearly impossible, even. You need a critical mass of white sources to both hit the spell early (ideally) and find all the possible targets the spell...

    Dammit, makes me want to find a spot for Skulker again. That is a sweet synergy. And on curve!

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I tried it and it didn't bite, but that might be because it is a pile of keywords my group didn't want to learn and deal with... A card I've loved since the second I put it in the cube is one in Onders list: rally the peasants It does something fairly unique in white, giving the color some...

    Card/Deck RW Reanimator

    feldon of the third path Firemane angel Daretti, scrap savant Blue white is certainly a powerful deck, but RW definitely offers some unique tools. I like working the Daretti angle in my own list, but I am working on creature reanimation with a recent resurrection addition. Ties in great with...

    General Gotcha!

    And that is why you always go for optimal plays, even if you have seemingly clinched the game. The opponent had literally nothing to lose by fully blocking in that scenario, and honestly, I wouldn't have even hesitated. Just throw all your guys in the way, win. Neat that you got 'em, though...

    If it really was comments like that that lost Hillary the election, it only proves that he and his cohort do know something is wrong. If the candidate was at least in the realm of decent, why would they be ashamed? Basically, one would have to either be vile, or be ignoring it in Trump...

    It's really interesting comparing the 2008 and 2016 exit polls. Basically, the racists voted against Obama as much as they voted for Trump. I think Trump might have had a little more draw because he gave confidence to prejudice. Really, across the board the polls look very similar between the...
