    Sets Spoilers Over Innistrad (Digest)

    Madness is a bit too low on the power scale for me to add it to my cube; it just requires too many changes to the rest of the cube design to be viable. There's just not enough of a payoff yet for it to be viable enough for me. As of right now, Madness is just additional flavor text on most of...

    Sets Shadows over Innistrad Spoilers Thread

    I'm much more interested in Skin Invasion after seeing it in action during LoadingReadyRun's Pre-Prerelease over the weekend. It did a ton of work. I completely glanced over it during spoilers and didn't realize that it turned into a 3/4 on flip. That's pretty sweet for a red enchantment.

    Card/Deck Werewolves

    Spells are way too efficient in my cube for Werewolves to become a real archetype. There's just too much interaction early and often for them to flip reasonably often. It does happen every now and then, but I don't think it's something I can currently implement without sweeping changes. You need...

    I like Linvala way better. If the white confluence were an instant maybe I'd like it more, but I'd still prefer Linvala. It's a legit win-con for a control deck, it's a fair reanimation target, and it has amazing art. I put it in my cube as soon as I could, haven't yet seen it in action though.

    Shamim's Cube

    After deckbuilding he was like shit, two lifegain decks. How do I even. He wasn't exactly Red Aggro so he had some outs and reach to deal with these decks; he actually beat the other Lifegain deck pretty handily. Red Aggro always has those fast starts that incremental lifegain can't really put a...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    We had this win our draft yesterday, an interesting one that somehow got away with running 15 lands. Lots of different lines of play with this one, even an infinite combo built-in: Ones 1 Soul Warden 1 Champion of the Parish 1 Carrion Feeder 2 Bloodsoaked Champion 1 Sunlance Twos 1...

    Shamim's Cube

    This was the first draft where I've actually seen her in action, but she was very very impressive. The Abzan player who drafted her was actually able to fire it off twice in one turn during the late game, then brought back the fodder through Meren of Clan Nel Toth. It was pretty gross. To turn...

    Shamim's Cube

    Heh, funny that I saw Kirblinx's post earlier in the cube list thread (thanks for the shoutout!), thought that my list was out of sight out of mind after zero updates in like two months. This session was something we just decided on late last night once people came back from break. It's been a...

    I like it as is. My lack of activity has mostly been due to school (haven't actually cubed in well over two months), but I'll probably have a few posts up soon with SOI includes and results.

    Not a fan of Drown, ran it for a while. Too swingy.

    Nice card, I'll probably give it a run. Been looking for a card to branch out the zombie colors a bit without having to get a straight up boring lord like Diregraf Captain.

    Sin Prodder is insanely good. Holy shit. Card advantage or I get to burn my opponent out. Just a great card.

    Sets Spoilers Over Innistrad (Digest)

    This set is incredible. I don't think there's been a set in the last two years with more additions than this one that I'd like to try out: Nahiri, the Harbinger - Ajani Vengeant is really freaking strong, might want a change of pace Arlinn Kord - She's too awesome to not run, pretty powerful...

    By the way, my favorite part of the story was definitely the bit with the Werewolf Logger. That was pretty sad.

    I think it's definitely Nahiri that's the cause of Avacyn's madness due to this passage: She's got relevant flavortext on a card: And she's even depicted on the art of this card: I think she straight up went to Innistrad and is getting revenge on Sorin for letting Zendikar go to...

    I don't know if it can actually crack into my cube (black fours are hard), but this card is just so cool:

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Living Death is sweet. There have been so many times where I've wanted to fire it off in a reanimator shell but couldn't pull the trigger because of the opponent's graveyard being too well stocked. Good amount of play to it, love the pseudo-wrath ability.

    General CFB Design Contest Final Vote

    I've loved the Priest ever since I first saw it, voted for it each time. Wither is cool, it's a human, and the flashback is exactly what I'd want in the decks that I'd be playing him in. Early pressure with the body, some late-game reach by buying back burn spells or removal to clear the way. I...
