Reconnaissance is going in my next update. I think it's going to be very good at pushing combat because you can use it to save the guys you would otherwise lose. I don't run Wurmcoil or Baneslayer, but this card essentially shuts them down on defense. Whoever they block, just remove that...

It's a good and flexible card. I have considered adding it back into my list, but I'd have to run it as a red card.

The Johnny in me wants to use manifest to get stuff I want into my yard (fat monsters for reanimator, Haakon, Genesis). But I'm pretty sure a deck built around this idea would suck really bad and lose a lot of games (so pretty much just more of what I tend to build during drafts).

I like this idea a lot actually. I've only done one utility draft so far and the feelings on it were mixed. I simplified it and made it so it wasn't too overwhelming, but guys want to get to playing. Anything that extends the draft is not popular with my group. I love lands, but putting...

Yeah. This forum turned me on to Phyrexian Reclamation. It's virtually uncuttable for me at this point. Works in all kinds of decks and does exactly what I want black to be doing.

LOL. Even with those cards, I still don't think you can get dream halls to work consistently. dream halls + crack memory jar and hope for the best. There. That works. Sometimes. But good luck making that happen before you are dead without fast mana and probably some tutors. I don't know...

Dream halls needs tons of draw. I'm not running enough and I'm not sure I can. It's just a narrow card. Really storm is narrow. It doesn't synergize with shit. So I'm really struggling to find a way to push it. Empty the warrens works because it supports tokens and is value at low storm...

I think I'm the first school, but I like a lot of what the second school stands for (from a theoretical standpoint) and so try to encorporate ideas from it. And so my cube tends to be schizophrenic at times as a result.

Unfortunately, the storm deck I really want to make happen is the dream halls / mind's desire version. The problem I'm having is it just takes too many turns to go off. Against any kind of deck that applies pressure, you won't live long enough. With P9, this definitely would work. But I'm not...

Thanks for the suggestions. I saw Past in Flames and was thinking it might be a tad narrow (and expensive). But maybe not. I have a strong graveyard theme everywhere, so pushing that more is enticing. I've tried testing a small storm package, and even building the best possible deck I can't...

Making red a more interesting color I think is certainly desirable. I run Crater Hellion because many red decks in my group end up control/combo (guys in my group have an aversion to hard aggro anyway, so that evolution had to happen out of necessity). My post was more in response to those...

I would agree with Chris that curse if very good in the right deck. I ended up cutting it because we play too much multiplayer (and not always "attack left"), and that card is just asking for people to team up on one person due to how it works mechanically. So it (and it's zombie sibling) got cut.

I'd probably run Frost Titan before Sun (I'm currently not running any). Frosty is the only one who doesn't net you a full card (or the equivalent of a card). His effect is good and can be very powerful in some match ups, but the other titans are just better. Even Sun Titan… all you need to...

I have Conquering Manticore on my list of cards I wanted to try and fit in. I recently went through each color with the intent to give them better identities. One thing I like for red is threaten effects, but man is that a shallow well. This guy came up for that and I really wanted to give...

I don't get it. Crater Hellion is a 12 mana evasionless 6/6 that conditionally wipes the board (in a color that generally doesn't even want that effect). Please tell me you guys aren't running titans because they laugh at this guy. Inferno Titan for example is 100 times more unfair. I think...

Another vote for crater hellion.

I've thought about doing this as well. And white is the color I thought of as well. But then I realized that I can't even convince my group to add an exile/draw step, so I think the odds of me convincing them to exclude an entire color from the game is pretty much zero. Honestly, I'd miss...

It probably depends on how heavily you support graveyard tech in general. I think there is a lot of good stuff you'd typically run which works well with it though. Gravecrawler and Bloodghast are obvious ones, but I also run Haakon, Stromgald Scourge. I personally think graveyard interactions...

I love smallpox. Works great with graveyard decks. Now Pox is a card I could never get to work.

I think it depends on the power level of your cube. Most of us probably cannot do this without running underpowered cards. But honestly, I don't feel like the mystery aspect of morph is required. I see it more as a combo piece (something you can abuse with blink for instance), or it's a way to...
