    I don't think it's necessarily strong, but I don't think comparing it to Raging Goblin is right. Sure, it's a 1/1 with haste for 1 mana, but... 1) there is a real difference between a mana cost of {1} and a mana cost of {r}; 2) it is conditionally evasive, so in the mid to late game, when Raging...

    I think CT is still the better site, currently, as it has had years of development time against CC's months. However, I don't see how a one man project on an outdated software stack is going to win out against an open source software project on an up to date software stack that already has...

    I'm honestly expecting CubeCobra to come out on top eventually, seeing all the buzz on their Discord channel. You know what's coming up in their next update? Custom image URLs. You have to host them off site somewhere, but I am sure going to try out my cube on CC once that feature is released...

    I think it's a good thing that there's playable CCC cards in standard. Dominaria's CCC rares did a lot of good to vary up the metagame. Harmonious Archon also buffs your opponent's creatures. It's a bucket load of stats, but not necessarily all on your side of the table. And yeah, that was...

    Duh. Obviously a wordplay on Prince Charming as well. Couldn't be a more happy marriage of top down flavor, tongue in cheek reference, and MtG-specific slang :)

    Oh man! These one drops are sweet! Legitimate aggro artifact one drops! I've got some nice interactions in (or lined up for) my cube, like... Corpse Knight D'Avenant Trapper Raid Bombardment Ranger of Eos Whirler Rogue Toolcraft Exemplar Master of Etherium Pia and Kiran Nalaar Steel Overseer...

    I'm apprehensive about Outlaw's Merriment, precisely because of experiencing how brutal Assemble the Legion was. This comes down a turn sooner, and averages just over 2 power per turn (if the damage from the rogue goes to the dome). So, if we compare the total output of power: T5: OM 2 > ATL 0...

    I was like... - Shares information - Shares (fine) food - Sends a servant to fetch something, pronto! I thought the third ability was spot on :)

    Maybe it's daddy Kenrith? And they have a naming convention where your last name is the first name of your father/mother?

    General Promoting Blue as a support colour for tempo/aggro

    I've not seen anyone mentioned them yet, but there's a few blue creatures in my cube that I love for this type of gameplay. Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive Departed Deckhand Whirler Rogue All of these have some way of forcing damage through, which incidentally works great with saboteur cards...

    General Promoting Blue as a support colour for tempo/aggro

    I've had one very old UB tempo list as a winning decklist, but boy did I run cards I wouldn't recommend anymore back then. Opposition, Pack Rat, Phyrexian Metamorph (too easy a first pick, consistently matches the strongest thing on the board for only 3 mana), and Whip of Erebos (teamwide...

    Most of the quadbrids are underwhelming so far. They're certainly a lot less powerful than the CCDD uncs from the most recent Ravnica block.

    Well, plus you're gaining life and drawing cards when they disable it. That's pretty cool as well!

    Holy moly! That's... Really good? Possibly?

    Also, I don't speak Chinese, but I believe the site that spoiled Emery also spoiled three green cards with adamant (i.e. that get better when you spend 3 or more green mana on them).

    Sweet, this is actually exactly what the doctor ordered! I imagine I will make room for Emery :)

    Yeah, I think this would be more interesting with "nonland, nontoken" (or heaven forbid only "nonland") scratched through, although I get why they don't make cards like that in Standard anymore. Or, you know, add "another" in front of "nonland", that would work too.
