Sooo... I this playable if you want to support both Doran and a +1/+1 subtheme? Crocanura I mean, Giant Spider is decent enough in regular limited formats, and this is a cheaper Giant Spider?

cloudfin raptor cloudfin raptor Seriously. First you guys are yapping about how blue has no aggressive 1- and 2-drops, then you complain that you can't make Cloudfin Raptor work because there is nothing to follow it up with. Are you guys looking for a mono blue aggro deck? Because that isn't...

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/doran-tiny-leaders/ http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/tiny-leaders-doran-2/ Watch out for Blood Moon. Here's another one with creatures that are by and large good without Doran as well. Your list is definitely hinging on Doran staying in play...

I don't know, blue is great in tempo (man-o'-war, evasion, bounce), great in control (counterspells, card draw), and great in reanimator (card filtering). All three of those archetypes play differently.

I don't think a Time Spiral 2 is going to happen any time soon. I do think Evoke and Rebound are both mechanics that will make a return somewhere down the line.

I was lucky I guess. I quit Magic around Torment and started again around Fifth Dawn. Champions of Kamigawa was my first prerelease ever and I picked up Standard again a month after the rigorous affinity bannings :)

Ugh. Page breaks and sleepy eyes. Sorry :D

Apologies Lucre, I have been in one too many "red is for n00bs, blue is the only color in Magic" discussion plus I sometimes seem to misinterpret your posts. I think it's your writing style that throws me for a loop :) Nothing personal, my internal parser just doesn't always work. I always...

Sure. I just don't feel that drawing your supercharged mana rock qualifies as the stars aligning. Skipping two turns in mana development at the "cost" of one card turns a fine cube draft into the battle cruiser Magic we all know and love from Commander. Oh, except only one player gets to run the...

I love this post.

Well, okay, I was talking about red aggro in particular. I'll concede that white or black aggro decks can usually deal with the first fatty that comes down. Burn is just dead to a Frost Titan though.

I played a bit of Imperial Settlers under time pressure. Didn't get to finish it, but we all felt the game was really fun. Will play again for sure! Another positive point: while the game didn't feel finished, it did feel like we already accomplished something halfway through. Sometimes when...

Chris is chiming in on the Tasigur vs Soulflayer debate. Tasigur's 5 toughness means he survives the four damage spells, which is a positive thing. Chris then reads the card again and notices that it can only return nonland cards, which makes it much better than he originally thought. I think...

I've grown to dislike Coalition Relic (and Worn Powerstone). What exactly are the aggro decks in a cube like that to do against a turn four Frost Titan? And that's not even close to the worst that can come down at six mana in some cubes (though it's pretty close, Frosty plays a lot meaner than...

Growth Spasm accellerates from 3 to 6 if you have a land. It's awesome! Overgrowth is decent but somewhat more prone to removal and it doesn't fix.

A hundred times yes. Withdraw is super awesome. The only reason I cut it is de CC casting cost. Can't have too many of those in a gold-focused cube. Edit: I once managed to ult Tamiyo with Venser in play, Withdraw in hand, and plenty of mana. Good times, good times.

Damn. Dreams, shattered. Shattered I say!

Maybe he doesn't own a fourth copy?

Oh yeah, I used to cube High Sentinels of Arashin, but it already got cut again. Somehow it didn't quite live up to its potential.

Hahaha, I just read the flavor text on Disciple of the Old Ways. ... I probably shouldn't laugh at the idea of "true nature" ripping little girl's face off and wearing it as a trophy (bunny ears and all). Somebody help me!
