    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I like the combo potential. I'm currently clogging up my 4-6 slot with the granddaddy version of this lil' guy almost precisely for the cool minigame of being able to pump for lethal, so the precedent is certainly there somewhere moltensteel dragon in a format with a definitively supported and...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Looking through your cube today for some inspiration, and lo: jace, architect of thought How do you like this jace? He seems like a pretty nicely balanced wincon/control piece, but it's hard to evaluate walkers... I've recently realized that I have zero walkers in blue, which seems crazy to me...

    General Fight Club

    Ok, thought on some cards fighting over singular card 'slots': whip of erebos I think I've moved beyond the whip! Finally having picked up a dread return, I no longer need this clogging up my {2}{B}{B} spells. What should I put in instead? The first thing that came to mind was: greed But is...

    Probably not, but it's high enough power level/fast enough for more cubes. And I haven't experienced repetitive yet with it, as in, I don't think I've seen two gifts piles the same yet (in my cube), and then again, aren't all combos kinda "repetitive" anyway? Regardless, the power level and...

    Sigh, a Cube

    Cube Online/Offline Sync 061916: CT LINK Since I keep a separate excel file for keeping track of my cube contents, my CubeTutor lags behind by a little bit. Nothing better than a lazy weekend for syncing up and talking about it a little bit! Two major goals of what I've been working on is to...

    General Fight Club

    Nice little totally unbiased analysis Kirblinx :). Your Wobbly Cube's Selesnya section, by the by, really proves out that you are totally unbiased. I think you forgot one important pro for Ms. Saffi, who is going to find herself in the dusty waste that is my cube in the blink of an eye if she...

    saffi eriksdotter v. voice of resurgence Is Saffi a thing? Is she only a thing with her combos? They fill the same sorta role (body after removal), but Saffi seems "Cooler"

    General Mana Base Brainstorm Thread

    I still fail to see how the numbers are escaping people. This is probability on Turn 1. That includes one mana spells like disfigure or darkblast. Somewhere between 8 and 5 percent failure rate. On. Turn. One. I will concede that splash lands will make your mana slightly worse for everything...

    Card/Deck Defensive cards

    Many bonus points for being adorable :). I have at least one drafter who would probably seriously value it along that axis. One interesting thing I've noticed is that low cost colorless creatures seem to be tilted towards control decks more than aggro. Interesting... May give the gnomes a run...

    Gifts Ungiven is the mystical teachings that we all deserve to want to have. And gives blue a job application for a position in graveyard combo-control.

    General Mana Base Brainstorm Thread

    First off, usually a splash is for some kind of gain. Colors have weaknesses, and those holes can be filled with other colors. As an example based in previous discussion, the Thought-Knot Seer can provide valuable hand control for some sort of {R}{G}/{G}{W} long-game deck that would otherwise...

    I think Blazing Shoal is a neat card. Low curves make it a nonbo in most of our cubes, and that is sad a little bit... I love Eidolon of Countless Battles. Helps blend go-wide with go-tall, and bestow is a kickass mechanic in my mind

    General Mana Base Brainstorm Thread

    shucks, those were such good temple pep talks I find myself tempted to go beyond the 5 enemy Temples I was thinking about and instead finding room for all 10! all 10? Worth it (tm)?

    General Mana Base Brainstorm Thread

    Can I just bring up (again) how... annoying it is that so many cycles are only half complete, and only ever in the allied half of the cycles??! WTF wizards? Hopes and dreams for storage lands crushed, considering they were in 5 enemy color slots (aka they don't exist + no custom format = :()...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    seems a tad slow, especially if you are planning on cheating it in. Also in commander you have access to just about every busted up ramp spell ever (artifact-wise), and the pressure of the format is lower. That being said, if you make some sort of control engine out of it, go deep, as deep as...

    Your section about white within the post in question does open yourself up to reply (you even have a question mark in there). And you may not have been focused on prowess in your RG post, but Dom actively asks for cheap non creatures spells in white, it is a spell that Prowess wants, and having...

    And I was referring back to you talking about Gryff's Boon, in a post all about White spells. I can quote the reference when not on mobile (done)
