hey i forgot about this card

right, though i feel crucible is far less abusable than jit (which would be an 'auto-include' in most modern decks if unbanned) it's just tough to correctly evaluate cards i guess ;( like every dull netdecker was playing UWR in modern for several months and that hive mind sailed right through...

rereading some old articles of mine tonight, i've been astonished by how good some of the stuff was, as i typically think of my past selves as imbeclic. sure, it's narcissistic, but living up to some of my finer thoughts of yore is a big albatross. i'm freaking out right now just thinking about it

o capn my capn.

how do you guys feel about cemetery reaper and lord of the undead (for gy hate and recursion?)

4 wastelands in the main pile? <3 that's so audacious. (though 4/60 is a good way to start a legacy deck imo...) actually, maybe you're right that crucible isn't too much -- like it's a common enough lock in legacy, but not THAT common, serves em right for not fetching and/or running basics...

i have tec edge and dust bowl and readily acknowledge it's absurd to have both tec edge and wasteland in the same pile. i'm just kinda conflicted because (a little) LD seems like a fun component of a balanced cube -- R/G's way of disrupting and/or interacting, if you will. also as much as i love...

the other day we were bitchin about how every color but red has an absurd 1x 2-drop (sfm, goyf, bob, snap), so one of our "uw in every format" guys came up with a red one: Fryer Tuck 1R Creature - Human Shaman Flash When ~ CIP, copy target instant or sorcery spell an opponent controls. New...

that's true. i wonder if i should just cut wasteland and add crucible again? that seems so perverse and yet...

dom: some. i rely heavily on my playgroup for feedback and analysis.

so that is the kind of interaction i'm looking for in cube, but it's so marginal as to be incidental. (contrast with the other use of crucible, which is to kill all your lands.) somewhere in between 'drawing a card once' and 'wasting you every turn' is the ideal crucible effect, do you ever have...

'mill with no other effect' -- i agree, though confuse, untap, confuse should win a lot. mes orb is (seems) cool because it's symmetrical. (assuming you're on board with geth and altar?) the problem with thought scour as i see it is that milling two doesn't do much of anything. again, it's the...

to draw a card AND play a land?

'unemployed like a boss' i always say. wizards should hire me but then i'd respect them too much to work for them. that's a far-out observation about living end. you and i like to dredge and we still had roughly the same experience where the card was too situational -- it might be as simple as...

call the skybreaker?

who's your favorite poet? john mill-ton! favorite philosopher? john stuart mill! favorite nba hero? reggie miller! favorite bit of chaucer? the miller's tale! favorite sitcom antihero? andy millman! favorite george eliot novel? the mill on the floss! favorite eschatological cult? the...

no no no!! niv-mizzet, dracogenius lich is great for gy stuff. also you can use a shriekmaw to machine gun your opponent's dudes for 2b/pop if you're into that sorta thing. the applications are limitless

someone please start the mill thread!? i wanna get evals of mind funeral and glimpse and, um, other cards like them

im cuttin crucible, no love for that one. keeping loam though. graveyard hate now numbers ~12 cards, and with a little zombie tribal going on in black, i wonder if that color will be resilient enough. guess we'll see next weds! edit: new additions: withered wretch nihil spellbomb samurai of...
