    Ephara is also well-suited to making herself real compared to a lot of the other gods. She encourages a longer, grindier game, and draws you into more permanents that will increase devotion.

    Klassik Kube

    So I've posted this cube before under the thread title "1997 Cube", but I decided to make a new thread since it has a new name and has evolved tremendously since its first iteration. This is a project a friend of mine and I have been working on for some time now. The card pool begins with...

    Yeah it's mostly because of the fight mechanic, but also I think there are slightly more actual removal spells on top of that. It makes more sense for a game like Hearthstone because there are a lot of creatures which can get out of hand very quickly (such as Windfury dudes) so it's a bit of a...

    Well, that sort of effect has to be at rare. Too specific and weird to be any other rarity. As for usefulness, there have been builds of type 1 dredge that make good use of it. If you want to see what a format would look like with way too much removal, just play Hearthstone for like 10...

    That art always reminds me of the cover art for Who's Next an-zerrin ruins

    I run a lot of manlands, so in my cube it's great. As FSR said, any aggro deck playing blue would want one.

    General Draft Subgames

    Yeah but it dodges Void really well at that cost. No one would think to choose 9 when they use it.

    Are we playing NBA Jam on Sega Genesis right now because ahadabans you're on fire! This is a good point. Even in cubes where power-max isn't the philosophy, the power level can creep up on you. Every time I add a card that is "strong enough to be in my cube," I'm contributing to it. I think...

    General Fight Club

    @safra: I am always in favor of experimenting with cards that are probably bad. As long as you are OK with drafting them yourself. Worst case scenario is that it does nothing, best case is probably something hilarious. If you're interested in something like Voracious Hatchling, I recommend...

    How has Sarkhan the Mad played out for people? I do have a standard riptide sacrifice theme, but it seems like a bit of a stretch there. Venser's plus is very interesting, but his minus strikes me as potentially GRBS. Maybe I'm overthinking it. Ajani, Mentor of Heroes has been in my cube for...

    Which ones are interesting? Which ones are unfun? How many is too many? Here's what I'm currently running in my cube. Mono-colored ajani steadfast Jace Beleren Liliana of the veil Chandra, pyromaster Garruk relentless I'm pretty happy with these. It also pleases me that it's the original...

    General Cutting cards people don't play

    I came to the same conclusion with those sort of cards. I'm giving Palladium Myr a shot though since it's a lot easier for your opponent to interact with than Powerstone. More and more I'm feeling compelled to increase the power level of removal and to focus the mid- and high-end control cards...
