Only convoke card in my cube.

Not while Mother of Runes is around. The activation cost really hurts as well.

I use passive here as the equivalent of "end-of-turn mentality". I don't know if that's a false equivalency, but that's what I meant. I get the feeling your environment offers more draw-go incentives and pieces than mine, which would up the value of Secure the Wastes a bit. The control decks in...

I could repeat this word for word and it would be true.

You forgot a few tribal incentives! Rush of Battle Diplomacy of the Wastes Brighthearth Banneret Vengeful Firebrand Obsidian Battle-Axe Also Figure of Destiny Warden of the First Tree Mirror Entity

Also borderland marauder War-name aspirant Goblin Rabblemaster Manic vandal Heir of the wilds

Chief of the Edge is not bad at all actually, it's base stats are already above the curve, and the power bonus is relevant if you run enough warriors. Attacking for 3 with Bloodsoaked Champion of Mardu Woe-Reaper is sweet! Chief of the Scale is similarly relevant, though less so because you...

chief of the edge chief of the scale putrid warrior That's it for {B}{W} gold warriors. Edit: Putrid Warrior is one of only ten cards that mixes the soldier and warrior types. Seven of the ten are from Portal Three Kingdoms :)

:) Necromancy is a two-off in my cube. I couldn't find a more perfect reanimation spell in the history of Magic, though Makeshift Mannequin is pretty sweet too! Edit: To clarify, three mana seems to be the sweet spot, with four mana reanimation spells being playable still. There's only one...

Of course it depends on the subjective boundaries the writer sets. However, I like his number (22/60 or ~15/40), as that's the number where you'll whiff 5% of the time, and flip over two (or more) creatures nearly 75% of the time. Those numbers seem reasonable to me as a floor. The average green...

http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/magic-math-orator-of-ojutai-collected-company-and-dragons-of-tarkir/ Well, there you have it! 22 hittable creatures in a constructed deck are required for Collected Company at the very least! That translates to roughly 15 hittable creatures in limited...

Great Teacher's Decree :p

That might be the best Mother of Runes-related comment I've ever read :)

Haha, I was wondering the same thing. I can't really figure out why we're evaluating cards so wildly different. Maybe we favor and foster very different play styles and interactions in our cube or something? I mean, I get what you're saying about Secure the Wastes, but that still doesn't...

I might be more down with Force if it wasn't a €60 card. At that prize you kinda got to be really awesome to be worth the inclusion I feel, because I could also sell the card and buy a slew of more interesting and semi-expensive cards. I also kinda like Foil for the same reason? Also, I'm...

Someone donated a See the Unwritten. I guess that's not worth that much that I'm obliged to keep it, but for now I'm fine with it staying in. I want to see it played at least once :)

Icatian Javelineers is hip, definitely playable. I just ordered the new art yesterday. Force of Will What about this? I have the feeling it always underperforms in my cube. There's not much combo to speak of (certainly not game-winning ones), so basically it's just card disadvantage. Am I...

True that, Secure the Wastes is eminently more splashable than White Sun's Zenith. It's just, Secure doesn't wow me at all, promising nothing but measly 1/1's at a moment in the game where I could be dropping more relevant threats. Of course there's the interaction between anthems, Goblin...
