    Sets Battle for Zendikar Spoilers

    I'm really interested in Retreat to Kazandu. If I can ever finish my Zen Fetches, I'd love to go up to double Steppe Lynx sometime. Play that GW Landfall deck and topping with some insane turn where you use Titania, Protector of Argoth to bring back a fetch and hit someone with like a 8/9 cat...

    General Is too good fixing causing 3-color good stuff?

    One reason I never want to put actual duals into my list is that there's no real cost to using them in a given deck. I like that shocklands require the life payment or ETB tapped, that's a fine compromise to fetchable fixing. Having good mana is great, but too much of a good thing is often...

    I've had way too many games against aggro where Fetters has helped me stabilize to ever put in on the chopping block. Threads seems far too situational to ever really work in any of our cubes.

    I love FTK, he will always have a spot in my cube. Trades for two cards most of the time, but is never all that oppressive. Creatures are waaaaay better than they were in its time, but he's aged very well.

    It's a card that scales in value with the more players in the game. Not nearly as good in 1v1.

    But what about: Thunderbreak Regent He's the beezneez. Great evasive body, equally good on offense and defense, and a free bolt with targetted removal.

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    I suppose so, but if I'm some Grixis Control blend, I'm gunning for that Desolate Lighthouse as an early pick. I can see the appeal of it for very particular decks, but it doesn't like a card that would get drafted too often in my ULD at least. It just seems way too slow and I've always thought...

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    Seems okay, six is just a LOT of mana to keep up unless I'm already answering everything their playing one-for-one or by wiping away the board every time. Good in a topdeck war, but not what I'd want to do most of the time. It makes sense in the most control-y of BR based lists, but I just don't...

    I took a look over your green section to get some ideas and saw Loaming Shaman there. How good has it been? What decks normally run it? I've had Khans Sidisi in Cube for a while now and the only deck I've ever seen that could effectively use it was a sweet Sultai Pod deck that also had a...

    Thanks Chris, that was a very detailed response. I want to give people more of a reason for sticking with a single or two-color deck instead of going for three colors every time. With the main draft + utility, there is an abundance of fixing available for everyone. As a result, if you can pick...

    Unblockability off tapping any two artifacts is a very real ability, I like Whirly a lot.

    How many Wasteland do most of our cubes run with the double shock/double fetch lineup? I just picked up one at GP for pretty damn cheap.

    Came back from GP San Diego and my LGS Gameday two hours ago, went 3-1 and got 3rd place (and that sweet promo Languish!) with this GB Pact deck. Most fun I've had playing Standard in a long while: Creatures 3 Den Protector 2 Invasive Species 4 Courser of Kruphix 1 Reclamation Sage 2 Nissa...

    General Fight Club

    Yeah, I've been in the double Magma Jet camp for a while. That card is just perfect. The right amount of burn and scry 2 is great in whatever deck you play it in. In aggro you clear a blocker and make sure you draw into threat. In burn you can dig for your next 3 to the face. In control you can...

    I just run both, though if I had to pick one, I'd go with Chandra. It's more interesting to have options that to be locked into one mode.

    Mindcensor was way more playable when Pod was a thing. I don't think I've actually seen it around much since then. I've just traded for a copy of: Soulfire Grand Master How sweet is this guy? What are some cool buybacks/sweet plays you've done?
