Cycling lands seem like a popular idea :). I think it's only a matter of time before we see duals like this from WotC.

anafenza, kin-tree spirit Kitchen finks Varolz, the scar-striped?

MTG is one of the last largely unregulated markets out there (with significant volume). Probably a neat case study for a lot of people, tbh

Its really really not that hard to pick three fatties of even moderate size, the draft strain this puts on you is minimal at best. They don't even have to be off color, they can just be too far up the curve normally speaking (inferno titan, say). There hasn't been one time I've drafted where...

This isn't a fatty card, imho. Just play it in agro, and get 1 of 3 random hate-picked fatties to beat down way harder and faster than you should. Turn 4 Griselbrand in RW agro seems... good. Pretty much agree with your analysis. Lower powered doesn't want that sort of effect, especially if the...

Agree on the article being very good. Am finding it a little hard to relate to some of his other stuff, though. He seems to generalize on a lot of concepts, and has a very predetermined power level set in mind. Not saying there's anything wrong with that, its just when he lowers his evaluation...

My D&T just got a couple beautiful new friends :). This and the Recruiter are great for that deck.

Three loyalty is the standard starting amount, and this is on a 3 mana walker that defends itself with its plus. And in any case, if your opponent is already ahead on board, very few walkers are very good. For any fairer cube, the more oppressive RB options are already usually out, and he's...

New Daretti seems potentially way too strong. If you play him out on curve, he could easily be a Putrefy every other turn in RB control... and if you played some artifact earlier like Chromatic Star, that makes it even harder to deal with. Dunno....

The card doesn't really interact with legendary creatures at all, but if it did then yes, you could both have one of these guys.

It's for synergizing with conspiracies, I think? Similarly not sure what else to do with it, but it is a neat and flavorful card

When one uses a printer, all cards can be nice and cheap :) But yeah Recruiter is very good. One thing that I like about it is that it seems good in both spell and creature heavy decks. In a jeskai prowess deck it can get Shu Yun, and in RW aggro it can get Alesha (for a very limited set of...

Recruiter of the Guard can fetch Flametongue Kavu, which sems like a gas curve. Now: bygone bishop vs. ? I'm thinking Recruiter might be taking this slot...

Card doesn't go to the yard. "Copy that spell + cast the copy for free". Spell stays firmly in exile for Savant to reuse

Momentary Blink + this guy + Tendrils of Agony is for 16 points of drain over probably two turns, just by themselves. Now throw in Minds Desire??? But even besides that, you don't have to get marginally playable cards for you deck, you can be UR control and pick a Primal Command to use with...

Your worst spells are your basics. This is still a 23 Nonland deck, just all 17 basics tap for any color, and can suddenly become extra spells when you've got enough lands. Card is bonkers.

Unsubstantiate Got some testing in with this card, and woo boy, it is good. As I expected, the flexibility is what gives it the edge here, both being able to bounce things and spells is just so nice! Used it for the Remand side most of the time, but unsummoned at least one creature in response...

Marchesa seems like a really sweet Mardu Control win con piece. The turn after a boardwipe she sets you up a CA engine and can defend the throne to boot. Alternatively, like RBM says, if you are a little ahead with a beatdown deck she is a nice beater that gives you some reach into the later...

Four Man Draft - 08/13/16 Pulled together a nice little four man today! Drafted with 10 packs each of Tenchester-style packs. It's a style I really, really like for 4 man, as it show off the whole cube. Think it can still work great for 5-man too. In any case, today was quite the day for this...
