Opposition, as a card that is not only good in decks with creatures, but amazingly good, is like the worst example you coulda chosen here, but nbd. The Hawks are (even as everyone is on the Hawks bandwagon -- I also dunno why MTG players are so polarized between "give all the fucks about...

The store is poorly stocked and run with the abortive CrystalCommerce, but I second their professionalism and excellent service. However, the prices are pretty bad (though better than SCG's) and if I may plug a site I used to write for (and otherwise dislike) I really can't see ordering from...

Poisony? Yeah, I was trying to figure out why it sucked too in spite of being such an obviously powerful card. I'd also guess that the times that you draw it when you don't want to contribute to that, it's one of 'those' cube cards

yeah pretty much. why is it bad? i pondered some other time. well, there are a bunch of reasons you could cite -- relevant life-loss is the main one -- that would be unconvincing compared to the experience of playing with it, as after that i have never thought of putting it in my cube again.

Bounce/draw 3 with Cryptic is also funny. Give the Golem a try, yeah The more I think about it, the more I'm unconvinced by my own reasons for loathing Jitte beyond "colorless bomb." Fits right in with B'skull and Wurmcoil

I would play it like wtf. Cube cards that do nothing too often but are overpowering sometimes annoy me immensely but like not playing Opposition with those guys is goofy. What a card!

only one way to find out :) it's just worth considering that people raged at its inclusion in my cube, though it might be good over in waddstown. YOU TAKE IT BACK FOR SHITTY CLOISTERED YOUTH OR ELSE YOU GET A DRINK OF STINK VERMOUTH #iambicpentameter

boy there's a lot here! I think this is a matter of taste, though I still think more experienced players can play whatever weird stuff they want and less experienced can pick a Kird Ape or whatever and still have a good time. I don't see much value in "p1p1s" unless they're distinctly...

no question it's better than the paladin and youth (though you knew i'd say that), vs. skyjek though there's only one way to find out ... :) i like to include every possible card from the new sets (incl. stupid shit a lot of the time) and da spirit is worth it

As points of theory we've decided (or haven't?) -- Cards can be pretty flexible or pretty narrow, but not very flexible or very narrow, except when they're not (Jitte, Cruel Ultimatum). Batterskull is the flipside of Goblin Charbelcher, Legacy's a little different in that there are many decks...

So at its biggest Kudzu is a juggernaut, and within a few turns it will outgrow a Tarmogoyf. I've played with the Plant in Modern, though, and this is the wrong way to think about the card, which has also sucked in my experience. Consider -Even if it's a 4/4 on t4, it started off as a 1/1...

Right, the line shifts for every environment, but the whole EDH players and other children having only their inflexible definition of "fun" thing is a compelling counterargument against the concept of GRBS going too far. ("No Rush 15, OK?" said the teenager to the frat house.) Another...

they rotate in n out. i think the ur-cube had living death, i've been inspired by last week's deck feat. lots of dredging and fatties

ORZHOV PONTIFF IS A VERY GOOD CARD!! really though there's no excuse for including spike feeder in cube.

Is Vinelasher Kudzu a real thing? My friends made me take it out but I wanna try it again

So I know you mean this more subtly than the typical MTGS line about such things, but I still think the following are true: the argument both acknowledges that the cards are rarely beaten and are miserable when not beaten, and doesn't really care about that. It also leads pretty quickly to...

gnuhhhhh very easy p1p1's i don't think i like the whole picks like that, though i'm sure it's sensitive to the kind of context da Cub3 cultivatez. jitte is kinda weird in that it's 'low-margin' but in an efficient way. it fills a certain niche, i guess.

Here in Modern the thing is Spike Feeder Archangel of Thune goddamn third piece!! archangel of thune is a sweet cube card, huh
