Yup. I was just bringing up a neat interaction here, I'm fully aware that those two particular choices are not the combination you are usually going to choose. Still, I love how they go together, and since there are two pridemates in my cube, it might come up somewhen!

Ojutai's Command Ajani's Pridemate I love the order of abilities on that command :)

I get what you mean, we'll see. I cut Overrun long ago for being too swingy, but a large part of that is the trample. I think this is in a sweet spot, where you can see it coming before blocks, and thus block differently, but cheap and powerful enough that it is actually desirable to run for...

Well Lucre, you're being super cheeky today, that's for sure. I'm sure I don't need to explain to you how important the difference between 4 and 5 mana is in an aggro deck, and that that difference is far larger than the one between 1 and 2 mana. I'm also pretty sure I don't need to really...

Also: Damn it! I am going to defende Great Teacher's Decree until it failed in my cube!

Well, to be honest, there's as many cards in the cube that aggro isn't interested in in the least. Wall of Omens and Day of Judgement aren't exactly epitome white weenie cards. I really don't mind some enablers that give the nonred aggro decks a bit of reach. Well, when you're just pushing...

Well, there is Dictate of Heliod That's the closest there is I think, but the difference between four mana and five mana in an aggressive deck is real. The fact that Decree pumps twice is also very relevant. Usually one-shot anthems are, well, really that. One shot. That's what makes them so...

That's two mana more and in two colors though. And it doesn't increase toughness. Great Teacher's Decree is an impressive anthem effect at a relatively low cost that also triggers all the prowess effects twice. Who knows, it might not be good enough, but that's something I'm only going to find...

Come on man, you've got to give us more credits. I even used CAPS LOCK! :P Great Teacher's Decree This card has impressed me in the post-prerelease "open prize boosters and build limited decks to play against each other to evaluate cards" games. I think I'm going to try it out in my cube!

If ever I have €2500 lying around unused I'll let you know how this theme works out...

Hey! I like the enchantment theme!

Crushing Vines This is the best Wizards has done so far in that regard :)

There's definitely lots of room to misbuild as well. I started out WuB, then went BR, and finally got back to uBR. Kolaghan's Command was the MVP of my deck though, that card is so awesome! I used all four abilities over the four matches it was in my deck, and they all won me games!

Geist of Saint Traft I'm a notable not-fan of hexproof. Is this card fun?

Went to the prerelease today, had a blast. My opponents made some really bad mistakes as well, there's definitely lots of opportunities to mess up in this set. Exhibit 1: I cast Taigam's Strike on my Sidisi, Undead Vizier (great card by the way) to attack for lethal over two turns, together...

When I tried it, it was kinda underwhelming, but I didn't run any welder effects then.

I personally like Syndic of Tithes. As a bear it's playable in the white weenie decks, and it gives those decks a bit of reach when attacking becomes a problem once your creatures are outclassed by your opponent's.

Yeah, the intent is a green kill spell that's maindeckable and not awful, so cycling would certainly go a long way.

Feast on the Fallen {2}{g} Instant Destroy target creature with flying. Draw a card.

Also, there's players who actually like the face-bashing approach and don't want to play "smart". Not every color pair needs to be complicated.
