Well, you could always cast a Lightning Bolt first, and it's king in counterspell wars :)

Aaahhh... How about this then?

What bad topdecks are you looking to ameliorate? Your card really makes me wonder, because topdecking a creature isn't a bad topdeck in my book. If anything it seems to make the good topdecks better.

Well, that is one that depends entirely on your cube? Both are pretty low powered, but I think the Bola is a bit better at controlling combat? Especially since you can reequip repeatedly to force an attacker through.

I don't think Thrun is a fair example at all, it's the hexproof and regeneration on that card that make it a noninteractive card. Kavu Chameleon, for example, was used as a card to foil countermagic in its day, but still could be dealt with once it hit the field. Uncounterability in and of...

You're not going to find many fans of protection on these boards, unless it's temporary. That mechanic is pretty much the opposite of interactive magic. Why not "Magehunter can't be countered by spells or abilities" or "Opponents can't cast spells during your combat phase"?

Priest of the Blood Rite was pretty lackluster in testing. Basically they remove the demon and ignore your 2/2. It is nifty in Birthing Pod decks. Bloodgift Demon was better, because it acts as both a finisher and a source of card advantage, and bounce doesn't screw you over hard. Edit...

The French and German Peasant communities have synced their rules set, the result of which is that the French are now following gatherer as well when determining rarity. I don't think Triskelion is any Peasant tournaments.

Have I mentioned how much I love the new approach to colorless mana? This is one of those things that MaRo would advice younger Garfield to change about the game if he went back in time. It's so damn elegant! Ok, I'll stop myself now. Love it!

Yes, they said on the mother site the symbol will be used from now on forward.

Yup. That is exactly what I meant! I wasn't referring to the fact that this is blue's version of a 2 mana draw spell at all! No sir! Just look at these beauties!

Probably not, I love the flavor and effect though! :) I see it as a blue Sign in Blood variant!

It seems I'm inspired to make blue cards lately...

Ah yeah, Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Curse of Shallow Graves are also in my cube :)

Cemetery Reaper is a slow-ish army in a can with some utility past making zombies. It shines in environments that are a little bit slower with a graveyard component. Risen Executioner is a nice recursive threat. It is basically Gravecrawler's big brother, more expensive, but also better at...

We should not forget that Conclave only brings being a manland to the table. Fumarole is not only a manland, it's also fixing, it is therefore playable no matter how bad the creature side of the card is.

Can I just say I love the fact that my giant necro is met with an off-topic, and nobody bats an eye :D

I forgot about this one. I think I was lurking back then? Stuff like this is funny to read again two years after the fact :)

Jason's Eldrazi Domain cube should be an excellent guide then: http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/eldrazi-domain-cube.12/

I think the most common mistakes among aspiring cube owners is not putting enough one-drops (and to a lesser extend two-drops) in their cube and not putting enough mana fixing in their cube. A fantastic way to approach the numbers question is writing out, in your mind or on paper, the desired...
