    + Just saw this on the net. Can you say 2-card-1-is-a-land-combo? Neato. For cube? probably nah, but still... neato.

    General Fight Club

    take a stroll through this http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/decks-that-have-3-0d-your-cube.47/ and I think you'll find that even cubes with five brainstorms don't turn into a blue mess. Jason's cube, for instance, is historically a aggro favored/fastpaced place. As far as I'm concerned, I...

    urborg, tomb of yawgmoth Is what it would take, imo. Also the obliterator can certainly be a little feel-bad in the wrong situation.

    A good point. I keep forgetting about that equipment, it's good stuff. honestly a little surprised that we haven't gotten a nicer shield equipment by now. Magebane armor is the best shield-like equipment I can think of, and that's an "armor" equipment. Honestly, it's not half bad either.

    +1 to Geralf's Messenger. herald of torment is an option I like for devotion. It can be both enabler and payoff (if you have nykthos -> bestowing).

    All I'm saying is that I'll be trying to go in open-minded. a 2/1 blocks for crap, and a monocolor land doesn't fix at all. Taking another look at my land section, I'll probably be running the whole enemy cycle but none of the allied. The new ones are all rather flat in power level relative to...

    I do like mutavault a lot. Personally I'm pretty ok with this UR land. It's in the color combination that wants to be flexible, wither get on the back foot and defend, or rush in for the kill when the opportunity allows. It's not built directly around spells/the Izzet ideology, it's built around...

    I guess what the takeaway is, is that Death's shadow: cool card. But the goose is where it's at. (honestly a little surprised I don't see it more). Nimble Mongoose

    It's one of those 1-drops-that's-actually-a-turn-6-play, but interesting at face value. It'd be the sort of thing that I'd need to see tested. Honestly, it reminds me of nimble mongoose in it's "one drop that's better farther along in the game" My take: Interesting, kinda narrow gameplay-wise...

    Article Learning From Pauper—A Study in Aggression

    I liked this article very much. One of the major processes I've been going through has been revamping/soldifying the aggro strategies. Glad to see a concise "summary" of some of the major themes in dynamic aggro. As ahadabans has written about above, decks over my way end up as Aggro-midrange...

    I like that Eldrazi. Already a beating on it's own, and can make a buncha your doods cooler. On the Oath of Jace: I'm less concerned about the PW side of it. We already are down to about an average of 2% of the cube as PWs. Sure it could incentivize random player X to try and grab as many as...

    The exile-infest is very nice counterplay to the gravecrawlers/2Sheildz/bloodghasts that we all love so much (sac outlet aside).

    Sainth's Cubes

    Welcome! I am going to have to agree with Raveborn on needing some push for reanimator. I tried forcing it just now... Didn't work unfortunately. Ended up in a sort of Pod/Value deck, but I saw very little of the support I wanted for a reanimator package. -Double up on Satyr wayfinder? Add...

    This black one reads "All creatures get -2/-2 until eot, if they die, exile instead." Cool. The draw guy is an interesting U one-drop if wastes/colorless mana is something you wanna try.

    Regarding Reflector Mage: My internal checklist goes something like: Strong card for Blink? yes Strong card for Control? Yes Strong in "velocity" deck? Yes, and see below Something I'd be willing to spash for? Yes A card that gives incentive for someone to run U and not be in control? I think so...

    Timely Linvala and a Man-o-meddling mage (kinda). Nice.

    me. Awesome art aside, I like this card a lot in the context of that "cards better for control", but requires a tad more investment than oust/condemn. Also something about how clean and simple it is....
