I'm wondering. Did I sound like an ignorant European there?

Currently my only black 6+ drop is Kokusho, the Evening Star, which I still like a lot.

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/27/intl_opinion/cumberbatch-asante/index.html Words can't even begin to describe how... messed up this is. How is a European guy supposed to know "colored people" is insulting, but "people of color" is ok? I can't honestly tell the difference between those two...

Uh. How are you going to take advantage of this? It also seems at odds with white decks wanting to run Armageddon. Might combo nicely with cards that sacrifice lands for value though. Zuran Orb, I'm looking at you!

squirrel token How can you hate this?! Are you a bad person? Do you hate life? Have you no shame? Squirrels are the epitome of all that is good and holy in Magic. Well, all that is small and furry really, but I digress. WITNESS THE POWER OF THE SQUIRREL!

I like Thragtusk, but then again, I wasn't playing standard when it was legal. I heard it was kind of unfun. In cube though? Honestly, it hardly ever feels unbeatable.

The only time I can think of when running 41 is an option is in slow control (draw go) mirrors where decking is a legitimate way of winning. If you know you're that kind of deck, and you know there's one or more other that kind of decks, I could see starting 41 to win. Even then though, you...

@CML: Are we? I haven't seen anyone bitching about the loss of value of Pod over here. On mtgs however... :) @ahadabans: Presumably, even if all of your cards are good, not all of your cards are equally good. In other words, if all of your cards are equal, some are bound to be more equal than...

Yeah, there's also +1/+1 counters, enchantments, Naya aggro and ramp.

Oh definitely, its just a direction Pod pulls me in, because upgrading a Keldon Marauders into an Eternal Witness into a Polukranos feels so much better than podding, say, a Prodigal Pyromancer into a Boon Satyr into a Polukranos. Not that I don't run any etb effects, I just don't want it to be...

Oh, people were drafting it, and then coming up with not enough chains so it sucked. Pod also warps your cube by pushing enters the battlefield creatures and pushing out instant/sorcery-based token producers. The first is bad because running too many enters the battlefield effects makes your...

I think Bee Sting has much better art, a better name, ánd better flavor text! Bee Sting

I cut Pod. Gasp! I know :P Green Sun's Zenith, Fauna Shaman and See the Unwritten are my tutors of choice.

Bloodbraid Elf potentially gives you two poddable bodies though.

Bloodbraid Elf because it isn't a flip card and my drafters don't have to take it out of the sleeve to see what it fricking does.

I like incoherent reminiscing :)

It works much better than my previous experiment of using an only slightly skewed normal mana base (i.e. a bit more 3-color fixing than normal). Thing is, including a Hallowed Fountain when you don't support Azorius presents you with two problems. 1. It makes it harder for your drafters to read...

I've never been unhappy with old Sorin. Gold instead of monocolored, and much less overbearing, he's pretty much old Elspeth done right.

I run 108 gold cards, and haven't regretted it yet! Then again, my cube is kinda an odd duck when it comes to gold cards. It runs dedicated mana fixing for only five guilds, plus the corresponding five wedges/shards (i.e. each one that consists of two supported guilds), 55 lands in total. The...

Red is the new Green! I tried changing the thread title, but couldn't find out how...
