    Card/Deck Riptide Laboratory (the card)

    constructedwise augur is the only merfolk i've ever hated. but say no more, i'm tossing him in!!

    Card/Deck Ral Zarek

    fire/ice getting cut may encounter more resistance than you'd foresee. electrolyze is an amazing card that's just better but damned if my playgroup doesn't love burn that divides damage. it's just a popular effect, i guess. fiery justice got taken out because it was so insane. mono-red options...

    Eldrazi Domain Cube

    Conditional sweepers: I meant more like stuff that kills Eldrazi Spawn. Shrivel is the classic ROE example but that wasn't playable and I agree that Electrickery effects are not what you're looking for. Something like Pyroclasm, maybe? Slagstorm? Firespout? Sweepers like that have traditionally...

    Card/Deck Riptide Laboratory (the card)

    hey jason, thanks for the sympathies. ignatius truly was an immortal degu. just a week ago he was shredding the furniture and dancing around for treats. ah well. i'm not gonna try riptide lab, but i might try volrath's stronghold (again). i have similar reservations about power level and...

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    ah, relic. it proved to be extremely powerful while i used it and kinda annoying to use optimally, have you had a better experience? mox diamond is an incredible card but i dunno if hitting some land drops isn't just better. sphere and heart seem a little underpowered to me. stone and...

    i like sunlance but is it really sweeter than oust or condemn? (with presumably swords and path already in) i'm trying harm's way tomorrow

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    list: http://tappedout.net/mtg-cube-drafts/cmls-cube-is-awesome/ (this site has a bunch of options for sorting; the google doc is nice but i'm too lazy to update it) bloodhall ooze is easy! it's just a wild nacatl in jund. so b/r/g. and it's terrible. eric: haha, glad you liked it! i'll...

    Sets Innistrad Block Retrospective

    And since I forgot... Enemy M10 lands -- all staples Utility lands -- I run wolf run, township, vault, drownyard and of these township is the best and drownyard the most flavorful. anyone with a graveyard theme should try ol' drowny. (there's gotta be scope to run all 10 -- even grim...

    Sets Innistrad Block Retrospective

    (continued) Another dork. I love green. Resilient mid-range creatures or aggro curve-toppers. It's been a blast to play with these guys in Standard AND Cube. For the left two dudes, though, I'll never like them as much as I do Hero of Oxid Ridge. Fatties. At left: fixed...

    Sets Innistrad Block Retrospective

    I've got a lot of cards here so I'm going to try and limit myself to the ones that haven't been shouted out yet: Devil's Play is unquestionably the best card from the block. (If it's the best card in my Cube, and X spells are worse in faster Cubes, and my Cube is the fastest Cube, then...

    Sets Dragon's Maze fully revealed

    brief comments: -most excited about spike, voice, krasis -renounce the guilds is good in my cube (18% gold) and it's roughly the level of gold hate i want (comparable to wasteland) -this set looks like it bites. but hey! gtc surprised me. gyre sage, cube staple, whoda thunk? -edit: sire of...

    General Say hello!

    x-posted from the old country: Hey everyone, I'm CML. I used to write for TCGPlayer (http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article_search_result.asp?author=Christopher%20Morris-Lent) and SCG; I may even still write for SCG, though since I'm lazy, I'm not sure. I am proud to live in Seattle, because it...

    Card/Deck Aetherling

    jason: 6cmc blue dudes: frost titan, keiga, deadeye though i love sphinxes in general i think jwarjwar is kinda lame and consecrated is really frustrating to play against edit: aetherling is terrible. it's a slight update on morphling but it drags it from 1999 only to like 2006 or so. even...

    Eldrazi Domain Cube

    jason -- spawn seem like a great idea, in order to make them really fun though i would recommend pushing the theme (4 nest invaders! beastmaster ascension!) and then coming up with answers to both the spawn and the fatties they power out. this was the ROE-limited solution and i think it was...

    Card/Deck Riptide Laboratory (the card)

    it's been a hectic weekend (my beloved pet died, 20 rounds of standard / legacy) so i'm not gonna be able to try the post-draft utility land thing jason came up with until later. however!! i can pluck a riptide lab from my collection and shove it in al'kaabah. targets: boros reckoner bob...
