    Alesha and Shu-Yun are plenty strong, I've seen both do work in various decks. I once played against a Jeskai deck that held off my entire BW team with a single Shu-Yun, an active Jeskai Ascendancy, at the the threat of super-prowess up. I couldn't swing into it because I would have probably...

    Yeah, there's that, but instead of being able to push through an extra 2 damage next turn, they'll likely have another blocker ready and all of a sudden you've only got Champion able to push on through. Instead of trading with their early drops, applying pressure and clearing the way with your 2...

    Not for 2, not any interesting ones at least. My aggro decks are usually centered around a critical mass of early 2/1s and some removal to clear out bigger threats to continue applying that early pressure. I just don't like that a 2/3 for 2 can't easily be taken down in my cube without removal...

    2/3 for two that will smack down everything early in an aggro deck in my cube at least. 2/1s become really bad when they can't block and they're just running into a brick wall. Sure, you can always fire off removal at it, but do I really want to encourage people using premium removal on a stupid...

    You know how you forget about an album for a long time then rediscover it and can't stop listening? Yup.

    I mean, I guess it should be good enough for maindeck? There are a ton of activated and triggered abilities in the cube, sac effects and etbs galore, but it just feels really shitty if it's stranded in your hand. I dunno though, I'm all ears for any good stories or situations for Stifle before...

    Safra vs Chris:MTGO: Non-U Sharzad Grid Draft

    I agree with Grillo that the music was a bit loud, but I like how streamlined the stream is. I prefer music to be playing if it's just like something instrumental though, makes it easier to listen to player commentary while filling in dead air. I think twitch has blocked out a lot of the audio...

    Stifle I've had this in my cube since I first built it, I think I've seen it in action once or twice. Is it worth still leaving in? Theoretically, it should be useful as a sideboard card in certain matches but I dunno.

    Green creatures tho :( I feel like people overlook the restrictions the first time they see the card. I know I did.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Mom is amazing. I saw her hold off a Sarkhan Vol ult alongside an Archangel of Thune in my cube. It was one of the most amazing things I had ever seen. She's strong, but she never feels unfair or bomb-y to me. It's still a 1/1 for 1 at the end of the day and is definitely manageable. I love my...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I personally don't like any kind of protection on a reasonable threat. If it's something like Master of Waves? Sure, you need some set-up to maximize the output. But a card that might be able to close out a game on it's own if left unchecked? No way. I just don't like the idea of someone...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Bellower is a fun card, YMMV depending upon the 2s and 3s in your cube and those you have drafted. Having cool toolbox type cards like Scavenging Ooze and Eternal Witness are pretty awesome to search up. The best things I've seen are Knight of the Reliquary and Kitchen Finks though. A 6/5 body...

    Yeah, that was very disappointing to see over at MTGS forums but it was expected. If X card can't break into some arbitrary top 4 within guild ranking at a given cube size, they won't even sniff it. Synergies be damned. They were all super hyped over new 2/3 pushed rare though while most of us...

    General Fight Club

    Aetherspouts has too many situations where it just won't come through. What if your opponent is attacking you with just one big guy and holding back other attackers after seeing it in G1? Can you afford to keep up 5 mana for multiple turns? Evacuation just seems better to me if you're looking...

    Fauna Shaman is great, a fixed Survival of the Fittest and that card is amazing. Useful for tutoring up a threat in the late game if you've drawn a dork on T6+, can fill the graveyard with cool reanimation targets as a discard outlet, and has a solid body to boot. I added the card like a month...

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    Mind Twist is some dumb shit, I'd probably pick that b/c I don't think I can lose if I destroy their hands unless they're super aggro and already dumped it on the field. Other than that, probably sword of Wolf and Mill or JTMS.

    Heelcutter is so much better and more relevant, new goblin doesn't come close to matching it in utility or interesting play.
