    Is your avatar always art you've made?

    General What build arounds do you run?

    I do not care about Owling Mine or opponent-mill but self-mill (specifically) is very fun and doesn't have to be poisonous. As was mentioned, Hedron Crab is a difficult win condition, but it is a wicked sweet self-mill engine. What are some other reasonable self-mill effects and payoffs?

    In a similar vein intuition ?

    That's funny, I was literally just thinking the same question last night. It's one of those cards that makes me want to alter my cube until it becomes good enough.

    I currently do Chromanticore & Chromatic Lantern, and Doran & Murmuring Bosk. Two thumbs up

    The flexibility is nice. There are situations where I'd be fine with getting two dudes for {2}{W} if the synergy is there, but it seems like the optimal situation is getting four or five dudes. White Sun's Zenith at cmc 6 is {3}{W}{W}{W} compared to {5}{W}, and receiving five 1/1's is comparable...

    Hey I'm totally in your camp on that issue.

    The only time it looked interesting to me in a cube setting was in FSR's cube.

    I agree Lucre it is sort of narrow, but there are def some other cards in my cube that are similarly narrow in other ways, and I think it could be interesting so it can't hurt to try it. The single {w} makes it splashable enough for many aggro/weenie decks, which is a pretty significant upside...

    I can't think of one at the same cost. This might be the strongest white overrun effect printed yet. Goes well with first strike, double strike, lifelink, tokens, prowess, etc. Easy to splash, too.

    That is really strange.

    Good one. My gut sticks with geist, but if your counter theme is strong enough the avatar is certainly worth testing. If you're running a minor green devotion theme, probably both.

    Card/Deck Making Gruul do more than stompy, or make stompy Gruul more interesting?

    Well there's nothing wrong with Gruul ending up midrange if you give it some tools to combat control decks. Haste, for one, certainly helps with that. Perhaps also some Caller of the Claw, Outpost Siege, Whisperwood Elemental, etc.

    I have a minor heavy-black theme, so he fits right into my cube. I still run Dark Rit also, so they're like best buds.

    Wow, that looks wonderful. I've never been to Europe, but I've been told that the Netherlands are a great place to visit. I've got some Dutch ancestry, so maybe some day I can use that as an excuse.

    Honestly I'm pretty much done with Tough Guy vs. the odds first/third person games, i.e. the majority of good xbox and ps games. They were fun for a few years, but it became over-saturated for me. Nintendo deserves credit for being the one company to always push the boundaries with every...

    I'm a newcomer to his stuff, so I should probably go back and check that out.
