    Wow I'm surprised it was that high on preorder. I don't think it's going to drop much further, card is pretty nutty. It's an insta-add in many EDH decks, and that Rampant Growth per turn (on swing, not even combat damage!) is so good. This is the kind of equipment I love seeing. I played against...

    Did it really drop? I'm seeing it at $5/$20 for Nonfoil/Foil. That seems about right to me. It's going to have a LOT of EDH appeal. I don't see it falling too much lower.

    I like picking up foils for Cube, specifically cards that I feel will be in my Cube for a while and/or are likely to jump in value in the near future. So far I've ebayed for a promo Lily (basically the only card I REALLY wanted a foil of), and promo versions of Evolutionary Leap and Harbinger of...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    He's very interesting to me. A 1/4 Deathtouch can't just be traded with easily because of that big butt. It's either lose a creature to it or take (usually) 3+ damage. Gets nutty if you have Carrion Feeder and Gravecrawlers on the board. I'm a fan.

    I could see cutting him if you have many ways of cheating him out early. Free 5/5 flyers seems pretty decent. I'm pretty fine with that happening every once in a while if someone crafts a sweet reanimator deck. I just think that it'll be cast on curve for 5, 4 with ramp, most of the time in my...

    Priest of the Blood Rite is so cool. My friend and I did a 2HG last night, went 3-1, and I had a super sweet RB Sacrifice deck. 4 Nantuko Husk, 3 Act of Treason, 2 Fleshbag Marauder, Macabre Waltz, etc. It was so gross. Priest came down, made his 5/5 demon buddy, and certain opponents just...

    Yeah, basically this. I've been reading the back-and-forth and I don't see why it still went on. You want this sort of aggressive card in red based aggro, you don't care for it as much in blue. Latch Seeker is 1UU and blue aggro isn't a common theme unless you're forcing it. I'm not in the...

    Yeah, let's argue about a different stupid 3/1 for 3.

    I too believe in the Inferno now, Acolyte is the real deal. Super Ashmouth Hound is pretty awesome.

    I love the sideboard feature on Cubetutor. Mostly using it to keep track of my ULD, but it's also a good place to jot down cards that pique my interest or that we get into a discussion about here on the forums.

    Card/Deck Ug... What should I do with my Blue-Green section?

    I've been wondering about UG as well in my Cube. I really want UG tempo to be a thing, but it's hard to make it work. My Simic section right now: Edric, Spymaster of Trest Trygon Predator Kiora, the Crashing Wave We had a draft on Sunday where I made a sort of Grixis Tempo/Control deck...

    I will definitely support CT Patreon once I have a steady source of income. The life of a college student who also spends way too much on Magic is pretty miserable financially.

    Yeah, I see the upside to it. Spell on a land, I get it. I guess I just don't like the card very much. I could see the benefits in Standard for controlly decks, but it seems pretty janky in a Cube context, which is what I meant by tapping out for it earlier.

    I see what you guys are saying, but there's just not enough upside there for me to ever play with it. Tapping out for a 3/4 flyer and going down a land is just so sad.

    It literally is a 6 mana 3/4 flyer because you tap 5, then tap to sac the castle. That's the supposed "upside" when looking at the card. Otherwise, it's just a colorless land with no other relevant abilities that won't provide you with much help at all. There's no other way to represent it I...

    Would you play a 6 mana 3/4 flyer with an additional cost of sacrificing a land? Good deal 17 years ago.

    Never liked him because if he were top decked on an empty board, it's basically a really expensive kill spell if you don't have 6 in the grave. Too restrictive for me.

    Yeah, this is the only issue I've seen after viewing my Cube. A few green fatties like Prime Time and Poly seem like they'd be terrible to go up against. It does work elsewhere though, destroys a lot of White 4+ drops. I'm running 2 Shriekmaws atm the moment, I think I'll swap one out and see...
