    General Utility Everything Draft

    I remember being against Azorious signet in the ULD, but hey don't make the draft process basically Rotissire. It's cool, but nobody ALWAYS wants to play rotissire

    I'm actually kinda excited about this guy. You know how I like my boneyard wurms? being perfectly respectible with a single dead creature. Really solid defensive body that is probably fine swining for 2, but scales into the lategame and acts as a reward card? Every other graveyard incentive...

    Reuke 540 (Opinions Wanted!)

    Hornet queen is the kind of green fatty you want when your player requires it to stabilize having been beaten on up until that point. Avenger of Zendikar fulfills this role nicely as well, if you prefer a more surmountable creature initially but harder to break through over time. However...

    Mostly because even with the ULD, there's only so many nonbasics to go around. People here are fetching basics with their first attack from the jolly green giant (I don't have a ULD), what the hell are you getting as your 6th or 8th land off him? If it's flooded strand, then we run into the...

    I might steal Dywen's Elite to say something other than elf, dat body goooooood I wish soulblade Djinn had 4 toughness base. Having to go Spell --> Wildfire for it to survive sucks :(

    So I get it, but can someone explain the joke anyways? It's for my friend.

    Interesting. I do have an utterly superfulous custom 3 drop at the moment...maybe

    I wanted this anyways, but Distortion strike makes this probably a bit more playable. I'm gonna try it. Pestermite taps lands when you end step it, which is probably more relevant than the sill boltable toughness and harder mana cost. Maybe this is a pipe dream, but Forshadow Conjuring and...

    Losing to bolt is real though. I actually like this card for cube, Edric is a nice incentive card that I can't seem to get to want people to play, and this kind of beefy combat trick might do better. Color me intregwaied

    Each opponent lol. I like the angel :P I had Archangel of Thune in for mostly the same reason, so I'll probably make the switch.

    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    Usually. Also the player with molten rain and scavenging ooze gets just as much access to that hate as the player who's Colors can't interact with these at all

    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    The reason I see creatures as the central part of these combo decks is not because of their abundance, it's because each Color can interact with them (even if it's like... Pit fight in green) trading post and bounce lands are cool, but not every Color can interact with the opponents graveyard...

    General combo in cube: thoughts on the "showdown turn"

    Depending on deffinition of cute. Sitting around pondering and spinning sensei's divining top while trying to set up your weird 5 card combo that kills someone slowly: not so great assembling the aristocrats engine that gives you value, and all the cards are mostly interchangeable: Little more...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Mid Patch thoughts: This card should probably cost BB, it's still a bit too strong at hosing aggro. Good lord when he was just a 2/1 undying for B1. I know this card needs to exist, but it's looking like anything stronger than Butcher Ghoul is REALLY strong. Another card that is proving...

    Parapet is actually a sweet card in kahns draft, and kind of everything you want from an early defensive card like that. Possibly lobber crew?
