    Eomund's (First) Cube

    Fair enough. I think saproling burst might be a victim of the times, and removing it wouldn't be a huge mistake in my eyes. In the lower power level formats, one of the cards I like which benifits hugely from haste is this fellow: Kessig Cagebreakers At 2 creatures in your yard it's...

    Eomund's (First) Cube

    Keep in mind that a fires deck is totally doable without blastoderm. IIRC the architects of that deck played it not because of the fading, but because it was the more solid undercosted beater at the time (And I believe the second best one, Jade Leech still saw play). It's just as possible to...

    My cube is 450, so divide all these numbers appropriately, but I've got: -Fetch/Fetch/Shock/Dual/Manland -4 Wasteland -2 Mutavault -8 mana rocks that produce colorless -Gavony Township -5 Fetchable B/<> scry lands. The problem here is that all the mana rocks only kind of count, since most of...

    For Context see above Thought Knot Seer, Reality Smasher and Eldrazi Displacer have all been great. They deffinitly need more support than just 4 wastelands/2 mutavaults/6-8 mana rocks (Or whichever analogous of those you run). Painlands work well, I used customs because of course I did :P...

    I heard about this! Nobody was buying force of will at the pro tour leading up to the set apparently

    The non-jund ones are surprisingly cheap. SCG has seachrome coast at 7 (Out of stock, natch :P)

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Pump is worthless [/Exaggeration] :p Giant Growth has typically been on the edge in lower power environment obliquely trying to support it, with things like heroic or double strike, neither of which are archetypes in my cube. It's been a long struggle to get combat tricks to be worth playing...

    oh boo. I mean I was slightly excited for a dual land reprint, but I knew that at least.

    I don't know if I want LED to be mythic for a better draft envoirnment, or common so people can actually play legacy

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    I've actually tried a downsideless savage punch, but the problem is that fight cards have the same problems that Auras do: you need a dude, and any removal becomes a counterspell. This is assuming you have a big enough creature :P I love what they've been doing with fight cards (Unnatural...

    oh they're totally fair analogues, but they just aren't as powerful as their compatriots :P Like rate Lightning Strike, 0-5 stars, then look at disperse. They might be similar slots in the color's identity, but they aren't equal, that's for sure. We had a similar problem a while back with prey...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Oh yeah. I always feel like an individual color's version of X should have its own draws, like red can hit players, white detains as well, so it works on larger targets, black works on creatures of all sizes, etc Incinerate Doom Blade Mana Leak Mana leak isn't a great analogue, but it does...

    How about this? Vendetta is a strong card as well, very similar to dismember, and I think 2CC is a good place to start for green's first foray into interaction. This pitches to force, and has some upside to make up for the fact that incinerate now deals damage to you as well

    *Shrug* Dual lands are rare, but they have actively good effects at lower rarity. Money Talks

    Why though? Madness is cool and all, but making brainstorm good for one deck and really mediocre for others seems like a step down (See the evaluation of Oath of Jace as to why 3cc brainstorm is not a good draw spell)

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    It's definitely more proof of concept at this point. Fiery War Axe is one of the better cards in hearthstone, so unaltered there's no way it's getting into magic. One charge weapons are probably more the way to go, but they should probably just be instants A la Bootman's suggustion. Now, the...

    I love that the reaction to topplegeist on MTGS was "I'll just play citidel siege if I wanted this kind of effect"
