Myr Retriever Junk Diver Is the 1 mana cheaper on such an ability worth losing the ability to block flyers (and die to them)?

I also thought about Bolt Bend first, but then figured the more consistent version would be nicer to have for such a specific thing? My red section has very few creatures with power 4 or greater and even fewer to grow. On the other hand I could very well imagine a scenario where you would like...

Let's continue with "cards ravniccis interested in because they remind him in things he likes", today with willbender-ish things. Has anyone tried out these cards? Swerve Shunt Like I said, I'm a huge fan of Willbender, that card makes for stories. From these two, I probably like shunt more...

I'd want to be relatively heavy in black, habe a grindy deck with quite a bit of recursion, and maybe even some synergies with the lifegain. That's probably just too many boxes for my cube to tick.

Let's have a monunental talk. Many people, including myself, run this card with success: Oketra's Monument I was sceptical first if they are good enough in two colored decks, but just last draft my girlfriend did crszy things witz Monunent, Soul Warden and Regal Bloodlord. I'm a fan now. But...

I did the same replacement. Living Death just felt too unfair too often. Twilight's Call has the downside/upside, that you need to be much more committed for it to work out in your favor. That keeps people from picking it early, and in the last draft a newer player kept in the sideboard of their...

Great post, Mr. Mondschwein, I'm trying something similar. I just can't get myself to cut Fact or Fiction, that damn card is just too cool. :oops: But on a side note, another tool of keeping blue fair, is really embracing their weaknesses (and make them count in your environment). Like, having...

I think my personally greatest succes in this regard might be the lifegain deck. It can play very fast and has a huge interest of 1- and 2-drops, but it has enough valueable synergies going on to be prepaired for longer games. Ones 1 Leonin Vanguard 1 Vampire of the Dire Moon 1 Sarcomancy 1...

Oh yeah, I'm all for themed aggro decks. There was a time, where I just slammed aggressive one- and two-drops in almost every color, blocking up space while playing similar in all color combinations. Boring. I think, even if you don't move away from using 1-drops, having aggro decks with themes...

Okay guys, I need a hit. I'm looking for the best aggressive 3-drop(s) green has to offer. They should be really tempting you to play aggro and not jsut by being a 3/3 for three with some minor, non-aggressive upside. The best I can think of really is this guy here: Hungry Spriggan Dying to...

I totally agree with everything you said, and I handle the topic similarily to you, I think. I was mostly just wondering, if moving aggro starts into turn two can have some advantages for that deck (not for the cube environment and it's health, but the power level of aggro), maybe because you'd...

Back duringvmy mtg salvation times I got teached that aggro always needs to start witz a 1-drop to be competitive. And while I lowered the power level of my aggro dudes to fit my overall environment, I always stuck to that premise. But here in these boards I often heard about "2-drop aggro" ...

In addition to Fountain of Ichor, I want one other cc3 mana rock. It should fix all 5 colors and have a bonus effect, but be cheaper than Coalition Relic and Chromatic Lantern. Vessel of Endless Rest Mana Geode Spinning Wheel Heraldic Banner Vessel has it's uses against several graveyard...

I know, kinda late to the party, but recently I finally got around for 2 drafts again and I have to say I'm very happy with my inclusions from what I've seen so far, especially the Adventure creatures. Order of Midnight and Hypnotic Sprite habe been super sweet versions of staple effects with...

How realistic is it to expect drafters to build around this card? Door to Nothingness Without a specific support but in a cube with solid fixing in form of nonbasic lands, mana rocks and green ramp. I think it was in the core set cube on mtgo, but sometimes weird stuff is in these cubes.

Draftes Nanonox'cube. First pack I started with cheap Karn into dark Daretti, trying to set up for a value artifact deck. I also got some fixing already setting me up for 3 or more colors. Also picked up Goblin Welder for cheats. Pack 2 gave me some more cheap artifacts (Ex' capsule and second...

But Blast from the Past is a 3 for 1 usually, Jet and Firebolt can't offer you that. You usually use Cycling with Madness and then flash it back for four mana soon. But all modes are relevant, even the buyback for a late game top deck duel.

My wet dream of a burn spell is probably the so far unmentioned: Blast from the Past It has a high complexity and adds a bunch of decisions, even some stupid synergies with itself (cycling with madness), but this is exactly my jam to be honest. It also has hunor, old frame and is a payoff for...

Did anyone test Pharika's Libation yet? I really like the idea to give enchantment removal to a third color, and this is the best thing we have so far, right?

Cancel that one, I think I found just the right thibg for my cubes powerlevel. Time Wipe
