Yes, I certainly do. Firemane Angel was sweet. I've tried her a couple times but she largely goes undrafted because her stats look bad compared to even my low powered fattie suite. Her reanimation cost is uncastable for that color combination outside some infinite mana shenanigans or a game that...

I think power has increased across the board - both spells and creatures. The spell power creep shows up less (hardly at all) in cube because spells were basically OP back in the day so you just aren't going to ever displace things like counterspell and what not. It was a domino effect in...

With half the cube being creatures, I can see him being solid. Especially some kind of Jeskai spells matter thing with some token support. UU in the cost is the only thing giving me pause, though that may be moot if this is more a late game card. What decks are you seeing it in? Tempo or...

Without a very strong +1/+1 theme, I agree it's too narrow. And even if you are pushing that interaction, I would not run the card unless you always drafted the whole cube (or all the +1/+1 matters cards together). I would not have tried running Hardened Scales prior to my attempt at a modular...

It's a bad top deck, but most 1 drops are. How many +1/+1 counters would a card that costs G be worth? I'm thinking 3 triggers and you got great value out of it. I fail to see how that won't be a typical case in a dedicated +1/+1 counter deck. So many mechanics play into it (evolve...

Doom Blade is absolutely better than Terror most of the time. And Go For The Throat is better than Doom Blade as it has more targets (outside a super heavy artifact theme). I guess I just meant that the upgrade isn't necessarily going to have a positive impact on your meta. Doom Blade made...

Wow. It's a lot less than I thought. That was a complete spit ball number and clearly way off. 48% of creatures is honestly shockingly low given how generally terrible older creatures were. Thanks for looking at that.

Hardened Scales > Gore-house chainwalker > Volt Charge > Shaman of the Great Hunt The possibilities with that card are pretty extensive. It's the card that finally pushed me over the edge on the +1/+1 counter theme.

Death by decking... good times. I've had my fair share of matches go down like that.

I've played admirer's before and he wasn't great. So I'm not optimistic that will change with this second coming. But I think my list is as low powered as I've ever had it, so we'll see (he's also a Shaman and like I said in this thread or maybe another, I'm trying to push this super janky...

How can you do that though if you don't actually have the data? All we get is the high level summary of said data and the action they took based on it. I'm not suggesting we shouldn't criticize or question, I just think it's sort of the hip thing to do these days and it's not always entirely...

You can do it, you just have to cut a lot of fringe archetypes. Cubes built around power have to be very efficient and to some extent a bit polarized. By that I mean you have to push aggro to the moon and you have to give control all their broken play things (Titans, 2 for 1's, et all). Side...

LOL. Love the old school Sega Genesis reference. I agree with your post 100%. I get annoyed when I read set reviews or listen to a pod cast for cube and there is a black and white discussion about a strict upgrade. Oh, another 2/1 for 1 with upside, easy upgrade for Jackal Pup or...

I'm probably under shooting with Masked Admirers. That's fair (it's very much a work in progress). And I have no doubt that the majority of the people on this forum still have love for the guide, but power max lists are now dropping it. That's the reality of where we are at power-wise if you...

Well, I'm trying to cull some of the 2 for 1 guys for starters (especially slow-ass ones like Master and Polukranos). Master in particular basically sucks unless you sit around turn after turn churning out tokens and sniping stuff (he has hill giant stats for crying out loud). That dude has...

I think the oppressiveness of Thrun is directly proportional to the power level of the equips and auras you run. If you have Angelic Destiny, all 5 swords, Jitte, etc. Yeah, hexproof creatures are just going to be really annoying (Geist of Saint Traft falls into this category as well). But if...

I actually cut them because of how much they encourage durdly midrange decks (already prevalent with my group). I've opted for a different suite at this point which pushes guys towards one end of the spectrum or the other. Thrun for example you really want to start beating down with because...

I've said numerous times that aesthetics play a role in card choices. At least for me they do. Right or wrong, if a card looks like crap it will probably end up getting cut (unless I can find a sweet promo).

Of the 5 listed, I only have experience with two (and both were not so good for me). Exhaustion looks like it should be a time walk, but it never is even in the BCS. And it quite often is half a fog which for 3 mana would be wretched even in limited (forget cube). Sudden Spoiling can...

I wouldn't fault you for cutting him. Master of the Wild Hunt is pretty slow. Then again, when he's online he is one of the few repeatable removal engines for green. He's insane with wolfir Silverheart, and it's always frightening when that combo comes online. I think that's why I remove him...
