at the risk of going further down the rabbit-hole and harping on it even more than usual, which i agree is already too much, i'd argue that the lack of money in mtg "affects all of us, man," as the entire culture would be different if pros did exist; arguably the game itself would be better...

yeah, that falls under the category (bleh, categories) of 'blue midrange dude decks,' which are popular here and include the often-played sea gate oracle, venser, shaper savant, mulldrifter etc. venser, the sojourner and galepowder mage are baffling exclusions from other people's cubes, maybe...

i was surprised at how bad cloak was in MMA after its turn as one of the best uncommons in RGD, my experience with it in cube has been far more towards the former

I really can't recommend Helm of Possession more highly, it's the best design along for creature-stealers along with Dominating Licid. It seems like that kind of effect had its heyday in Tempest block? I don't know what to do with blue either, the Zombie color thing doesn't work at all over...

refreshingly frank for a maro answer

Ked Levi almost sounds Jewish!

right, but 1-drops are nuts in theros with all the ordeals and lack of removal and slippery-slope trash. observe if you will how the unplayable typhoid rats becomes a strong common in sedge scorpion or whatever. i would be tempted to say the satyr has lackluster numbers because red sucks, but...

should be OK, remember this is curve-out aggro and not burn. the best analogy i can think of is how nobody played heroes' reunion against the rakdos deck in RTR draft. or like if they played a thragtusk into your board of rakdos cackler, ash zealot, pyreheart wolf, hellrider, who cares. things...

the difficulty i'm having is finding the right fatties, and a fatty thread would be welcome (or if it already exists, maybe started by me, someone should bump it) -- ideally these targets would be spread across the 5 colors but like what else am i gonna put in red after inferno titan, or in blue...

I didn't like it much, it's a little weak so I have trouble imagining a Cube that doesn't want a stronger spell down the curve in Night's Whisper or Sign in Blood. Not that this is the alpha and omega of 'how good is a Theros card?' but I have enjoyed using this site...

i was gonna reflexively answer 'yes,' but like who knows. my more refined answer is that i imagine it's fine, but it will lead to bad games a friend has started calling the god weapons 'items,' i salute his lucidity

diabolic servitude is really sweet, but it costs 4 and has 'valuey' rules text -- what i'm trying to push is a deck that has a fast combo-reanimator plan that avoids the very tilting Legacy Reanimator games by being a bit slower, a bit less powerful, and having a plan B

The other's day-like features changed indefinably as his attention, like a squadron of slow old battleships, began wheeling to face this new phenomenon, and in a moment or two he was able to say: 'Margaret.'

i am not sure this has to be the case, dipping into other colors could be due to "synergy." maybe one red drafter has taken pyroclasm and wants cryptic command, while another has gone with imperial recruiter and wants a different color with birthing pod, and yet another has taken purphoros, god...

i have all the most powerful spells (incl. animate dead, reanimate etc.) with the exception of entomb, maybe what's hampering it is my distaste for elesh norn, grand cenobite, iona, shield of emeria, jin-gitaxias, core augur, and griselbrand. combo reanimator is fun, i think, but only if the...

just finished the massive update, records at http://cubetutor.com/cubeblog/114 and http://cubetutor.com/forumthread/114/363 cliffs: -cut some cards people told me to take out -lowered the curve to try and combat the "midrange warz" feel of the cube, make one-drop aggro more of a thing outside...

CT -- nah, just 'poison-principle' i.e. if nobody else wants fencing ace then bleh. i love Double Strike and all but i'm suspicious that throwing in cards that are bad in any other deck is the way to go. what do yall use for mass pump? i like Tromp the Domains (edit: i just realized you might...

"guy fieri's hair is the front lawn to hell" was pretty great

my brother, who, like the rest of society, is a gamer who denies he is a gamer, is looking for a sweet board game of some depth, for christmas, to be played in the setting of a liberal-arts college. Dixit?

not enough, unfortunately. what a sweet card though #teameventide
