This : Hostage Taker :: Flame Slash : FTK And you'll note that Flame Slash had to cost 1 mana to be good. This would have been decent if given a 2/3 body, probably. A bad Sin Collector, but I personally feel that Sin is a bit too quick for an ETB +1. I don't really like immediate value too...

I'm on mobile so it'll be quick but I have to post this guy This is so good for the black cube. The gentle yard removal is exactly what I've been looking for, as "exile all" is too harsh for my environment and there's relatively few cards that have a mild yard disruption on them. The UB decks...

I try to cycle through the types of decks I'll play so that I can see where they need help. I learned a lot about UB aggro and my cube's aggro in general tonight, for example. I'll also frequently go into the draft already intending to test Deck X because I anticipate it may either be a bit...

100% chance I'm pre-boarding on some glasses if Beeble were in my cube.

I have a hard time buying that conclusion when the winningest cards are a broken accelerant, an ETB hand wrecker, one utility card, an ETB +1 with tempo, and a massive burn spell. I consider all of those but Jet to be pretty high powered cards that I'd frequently take over most things. It's...

Thank God @ Train. Guess the spots I looked mostly had the fancy ones. The fancier ones do look REALLY nice, for the most part. I've been running Haakon and a handful of friends for quite a while in BW. Any knights they give us are big to me.

Anyone else annoyed that there's plenty of space for adventure reminder text on a lot of these cards and they chose not to put it? I either have to not use adventures or explain it to every player who doesn't constantly attend to new card types who uses my cube.

Ya. Black cube loves them. Enables mono-black and 2c decks are really common. Hoping for some good ones. The UW is a decent mid power +1 and the RW is maybe a combat nightmare, similar to a shade. Right around the power level I'm looking to be at, I think. Sometimes I have a hard time...

It was a joke cus the hybrid conversation just ruined the other thread lol. Although now we have Vandal vs New Guy in this thread. Can't escape the minutia.

I think a lot of the X/1 fliers for X are pretty valid, depending on the environment. Getting a couple free 2-3 point hits is a nice chunk. You could even do WU fliers, which has several decent lords. Also, Adeliz, the Cinder Wind plus Stormchaser Mage is easy UR aggro. Pteramander, depending.

Black cube is looking forward to adamant for black and some quad-hybrid goodies. Really excited for those to push my devotion theme after I didn't get them in RTR. Lots of sweet stuff so far. Also a lot of stuff for my secondary cube idea. Which will continue to torture me as I continue to not...

So, food is like a shitty clue. Fine. Not sure on Witch's Cottage. I run a black cube where people will regularly run 10+ swamps, if not 15+. Is it good in that environment? Can't tell.

All three of those get so unfun so fast for me.

I really fucking hate Geist. Consider if either of these scenarios are miserable: 1. Geist gets blocked like a little 2/2 bitch. 2. Geist bashes for 6 repeatedly. Geistcaller seems pretty cool in the right environment. The payoff is a little low for how often I'd expect it to trigger. If the...

Whelk seems really swingy. It will often rot in someone's hand or it will counter a massive threat and totally swing the game, like a reactive Control Magic. Depends how you feel about that. It is cool. Combo with Mystic Snake, Frilled Mystic, and Mystic Genesis to really get stupid far ahead...

IT MATTERS A LOT BRO!!!

Na. I almost went on to talk about how great Glare is, but didn't wanna make my post require more than a second to read. Glare is in the expected colors and will never immediately end a close game. I think we played one game with Opposition in my earliest Cube stages and everyone who was in or...

Opposition is grossly out of place. Takes the nonexistent blue creature deck in most formats and makes it fucking miserable to play against. I hate that card.

I'd be interested to see what other games those guys tested before determining MtG is the most complex. Seems like any game with sufficient game length (no obviously computable turn 1-2 kills), random topdecks (along with a non-cooperative mana system), and a rather large card pool would meet...
