At what power level though? Because every Storm deck I tested got owned by my efficient aggro decks. It wasn't consistent enough. I'd love to see your build and how you play it. Because if such a thing were possible (non-poisonous storm), I'd consider it. I just don't think there is.

Storm is something that sounds good until you play it. Either it works and you just steam roll people. Or it doesn't and you look like a clown with a cobbled together pile of garbage for a deck. It doesn't really matter though to outside observers because in both cases you are involved in a...

I can't say on either account. My cube is not typical even for Riptide and big Rakdos is not really a thing in my cube. That combination is almost always aggressive. I was only replying to the question on pingers in general. My group likes them and we've run probably all of the even...

Gelectrode is awesome and so is Goblin Sharpshooter. Cunning Sparkmage is decent too because of the haste. I don't run it anymore though because I think these types of cards are only good enough if they offer synergistic gameplay.

I have a soft spot for mono black decks, so probably like this card more than is healthy. And our free-for-all multiplayer games tend to be more fun when people are doing fucked up shit like Death Clouding the board. Guys tend to durdle and try to build massive board positions and this card...

It doesn't play the same in my experience. It's more impactful late game and you can be more surgical with it. If my opponent has 2 creatures and I need them both gone, I can Death Cloud for 2. If I need all his lands gone, I can Death Cloud for X and make that happen too (assuming I have...

I think it's better than Pox actually. Because 1/3 of all your stuff is arbitrary and not always what you need/want. With Death Cloud, if I need it to be surgical it can be an expensive Small Pox. Or I can go nuclear and make it the freak love child of Wildfire and a double non-random Mind Twist...

If someone gets this working without it being super poisony, I'm totally down. Storm is an awesome deck to pilot. Without fast mana though, I couldn't get a consistent enough deck list together even if I hand picked cards. Can someone post an ideal deck list? I'd really like to see where...

I guess. I mean, I'm willing to spend $50 on a card if I test it and it does really well and I know guys will draft and like it. What card costs more than that which just has to be in my cube (i.e. I can't live without it)? If anything, not running some of these bombs forces me to experiment...

Proxies don't feel or look right to me. I just don't like them. In addition, if a card is so expensive I can't realistically buy it, it's probably broken and bad for my meta anyway. As soon as I abandoned power max design philosophy much of the proxy debate resolved itself.

The madness 0 on rootwalla is a world of difference for reasons stated. Swing with looter il-kor. Instead of filter a card, I get a straight draw a card no drawback if I have rootwalla in hand. Not for every deck obviously, but lots of synergy to be had there. Works equally well with faithless...

Thanks. I appreciate it.

I was thinking unleash guys (cackler and assassin), undying evil which I've always liked, and then support dudes like maybe oona's blackguard. Tie in with black is loose admittedly. But the only other place I could put it is in my Naya/Sultai module and I don't really want it there (Sultai is...

So who has this theme fully operational? Because I'd like to put a Jund flavor of it into my modular cube.

I don't know. I can't help but think the instant factor on strive just makes it a lot more flexible. Plus, you may not always be able to swing after epic confrontation if your opponent still has a blocker (even one smaller than your dude). I love the idea of fight effects though and I...

Points made are solid. I'll jump on this bandwagon.

So are you going with UR for Tyrion then? Because I could be convinced of that I suppose. He's more anti-hero than hero.

Tyrion also protected Sansa in more than one way. He's the only Lannister worth saving honestly (the rest of the family can burn as far as I'm concerned). I don't see how you can't put W in his deck list. EDIT: I'd concede RUW for Tyrion. He's a complex character so probably deserves to be a...

BTW…. this thread has derailed in epic fashion. Vintage Riptide.

The hound to me has a splash of W because he genuinely I think has a good heart. He's naturally G though, tainted B by what happened to him in the past. He's not evil, but is capable of evil under certain circumstances. That's my take. Tyrion I don't see R. If anything, what happened at...
