    General MODO draft my Cube - Saturday the 14th Nov, noon PST

    I've never tried MODO and don't really have time to learn this weekend, but if you guys stream I'll def watch on the side while finishing up work. Last one was pretty fun with all the commentary.

    Card/Deck Blue GRBS?

    I dunno about GRBS, 5 mana is quite a bit to leave up and you might not even reach that in certain matches. It is a very cool card though and I'll definitely be trying it out.

    Sets [C15] Commander 2015 Spoiler Thread

    Yeah, I feel you on that, it's pretty hard to stock up on staples with multiple decks. My playgroup mostly drafts and plays EDH, cube is actually a rare occurrence aside from like once or twice a month. I've actually got 7 EDH decks that I've built over the last two years since buying the...

    I usually get one pre-con so I can jam it with friends and new players, the rest of the time I just pick up singles. There's often not enough in the pre-cons to be worth buying two of one (unless it's something like Mind Seize with TNN two years ago).

    Card/Deck Blue GRBS?

    Opposition Treachery Consecrated Sphinx These are ones that come to mind. I don't find many of the others you've listed to be GRBS at all, especially not the walkers individually. In a superfriends deck? Sure. But if they're the only ones on the board then they're definitely manageable.

    Miren is so good and I've loved that art ever since it was spoiled. I'm just glad that it's on such a strong card. I need two; one for Cube and one for Sidisi EDH.

    General Cards you want tested in the MODO cube.

    Nightbird's Clutches Demonic Pact Brutal Expulsion Retreat to Coralhelm Sidisi, Brood Tyrant Athreos, God of Passage The first 4 I'm trying out currently, but I don't get enough drafts going with the semester in full swing so I don't have enough data. Probably need a few ways to reset/remove...

    Don't know how busted this is, curving into Deranged Hermit would be disgusting.

    General Archetype Support

    Trading Post is cool if you can assemble a fun little loop, but it is durdly as hell. I play it every now and then in EDH decks, but that's only because you have a ton of set-up time. You'll need a slower, lower-powered environment to really get it to work. T4 is too big in my Cube, it's when...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Yeah after seeing safra's double block to unlock the Ruinator in your match, I think I'm going to give it a try. A 5/6 flier at parity is so tough to deal with unless you have the right removal right then and there. I just hope that the hoops aren't too hard to jump through.

    General Test Draft: Sunday, November 1st at 2PM EST

    Yeah, I watched the stream for an hour or two while working on other stuff. Not bad for a first try, was fun listening to the discussions during the matches. Trading was a bit annoying though, too much happening during the stream. It'll be pretty sweet once you get it down and master MODO. Maybe...

    General Shadow over Innistrad - April 2016 Trailer

    This trailer was pretty lame, I guess bad shit is happening in Innistrad? I don't want this shadow to have anything to do with Emrakul, it would be lame. Too much Eldrazi crap crammed in if that were the case (since I'm like 90% sure Kozilek is back in the next set). Many of the recent...

    General Fight Club

    Dissolve is amazingly good, Scry 1 is so relevant in the decks that want it. You're pretty much always on the defensive and you're looking for your next big play to establish yourself or digging for your next answer. I didn't realize just how good when it was released, but I spent most of the...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    +1 for Outpost Siege. It does what I wanted out of Purphoros and the 2nd mode is fantastic when you can't abuse the ping ability. I use it in every red-based EDH deck I have, highly recommend it in Cube if you aren't already running it. It's always nice to find options in other card types for...

    Card/Deck Hatebears

    I love Thalia and her horse, they've been pretty sweet in a few W/B weenie builds just stalling out a wrath that was stranded in hand. I got got by Thalia into Horse and couldn't play out my wrath. My Lone Missionary didn't stand a chance against a board with multiple 2 power dudes.

    General Limiting on-board PWs by limiting PW types

    JVP is really strong, he generates insane value once he flips. Not anywhere near as good on a board with a bunch of dudes, but he can hold the fort really well if he's up against a single threat. He doesn't flip every game though, so I'm fine with him so far. I haven't seen anything really...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I was going to cut it, but then someone had their hand ripped apart by Thoughtseize into Inquisition of Kozilek into Hymn to Tourach like two drafts ago. It's staying.

    General Terrible flavor texts

    I feel like there are so many flavor texts in Magic that would have been better if they would have cut out a sentence or a section of it. Like that zombie. Take away that 2nd line and it's pretty sweet.
