    Voice of Resurgence So I totally forgot about this card. How oppressive is it? How key is it to pod? Is there anything like it you like? Those of you without pods: Do you run it? How is it?

    That was my thought! Though I can see it bringing back the odd Thundermaw Hellkite or Hellrider with kicker, so maybe there's something more. Is it that obvious? It's not like I made lightning helix with the option of being searing blaze instead of gaining life, is it? That's my baseline for...

    In reading this (http://www.magicmadhouse.co.uk/articles/2013/12/under-the-hood-whats-in-an-archetype-part-four/) I noticed that a lot of the reanimation spells are kinda poisonous, since who really wants Dread Return other than the dedicated reanimator deck? There's a bit of midrange overlap...

    That seems pretty reasonable. I can't remember what the creature/noncreature numbers for the average aggro deck are off the top of my head, but I know the nut aggro decks in my cube usually have 3-4 cards at 4+ CMC, so Card should be alright. I don't really think anyone wanted to splash for this...

    I always feel odd about the "Wrong Signals" cards, since that's really unfair to coralhelm commander. I love Blood-Chin Rager as a serviceable creature on his own that will buff the odd white 1 drop and mutavault. Is there a warrior "deck" in my cube? No, same way there is't a merfolk deck in...

    I feel ya. As a going away present when I moved back to Toronto one of my players bestowed upon my cube a foil Puppeteer Clique and a playset of Tempest Wastelands. No way Tectonic Edge is going in my cube now! :P

    I probably should. It keeps making me think it's name is "Secrete the Waste" though :P Oh! also Blood-Chin Rager is also in, love me some evasive black 2 drops that can block!

    Lava Spike when you're winning, one with nothing when you're losing :( Actually on the topic of card evaluations, the lastest The 3rd Power podcast has Marshel from Limited Resources on it (good listen) and he brings up quadrant theory at one point: Essentially Consider how good a card is...

    Furious Assault + Hordeling Outburst = :( Edit: I actually played Tormenting Voice at the prerelease. My deck was jammed with 3s, 4s and Cheap(ish) Red Removal, and most of my losses were to mana screw/flood, so I added it because of the dearth of bears in my pool, and it preformed pretty...

    Yes and no. 90% of the heroic cards I'm using are custom, so I'm drawing from a different well with about the same depth. Double strike for me was Thus, creatuers wise: Fencing Ace Fencing Ace Silverblade Paladin Shu Yun, the Silent Tempest Viashino Slaughtermaster Viashino Slaughtermaster...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    New Patch! Mostly just DTK changes, but I've added a second Blasting Station to compensate for the removed goblin bombardment (Nothing kills it, and nothing kills blasting station either but it isn't as easy to use) and a rebounding alternative to Hymn to Tourach (Though hymn is still in) IN...

    Yeah I'm basically emulating his enviornment here... sort of. I don't have any of the constellation stuff going on, but basically my double strike decks were getting too bad when they were bad and too good when they were good So what I did was replace all the double strike guys (double...

    Alright, that makes sense. Still, I'd love to see one of the weaker 2 drops like soldavi adenate leave rather than Bloodsoaked Champion, he's just so flexible

    Yeah, but it wouldn't be the kind of multicolor card I'd want to run. Everything in UG costs 1UG (Shardless Agent, Edric, Trygon Predator), and I've never really been able to find a mechanical underpinning to tie to two colors together other than UG Ramp (Hardly an identity), so UG Flash...

    You control a dragon (Boltwing Marauder) do you not? Sarkhan's Rage should win you the game there Edit: Reading! :p I'm always a little sad to see the black recursive 1 drops go. Are people not biting on black aggro? Or is this cube just too combo heavy for aggro to have room to breathe?
