    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Didn't go 3-0, but this deck was super sweet in a 6 man draft we did last night. I originally drafted a Red Aggro deck splashing a little white, hatedrafted the wraths initially so that I wouldn't get screwed. But then I got paired up against Worldknit Pod. Sideboarded into Control and ran with...

    Anyone else running this guy? Chasm Skulker I've seen gamestates in my cube where Brainstorm was used as a combat trick and to push through the last points of combat damage. It was awesome. And if you draft a Goblin Bombardment, you can sac the babies for often an extra 3-4 damage assuming...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Haven't tried it out in my cube, but I did go Blue during BNG prerelease just hoping to open this in my sealed pool with a couple durdly U/B guys with decent toughness. It happened. I think the best thing I did all prerelease was setting up my board with Phenax in hand and calculating how many...

    Yeah, that was pretty much the tipping point for me. If they were just normal 1/1's ala Young Pyromancer, I'd ship it right into my cube. The issue is that it's basically an army in a can where it pretty much poops out Monastery Swiftspears at will. If you don't answer it, I think you just die...

    Thus far, these are all the cards that I'm really excited to try out in a few weeks: I kind of wanted to try out Monastery Mentor to further support Spellslinger, but then I remembered that it was Prowess and triggered off almost everything. That card is so busted.

    Sweet I am super excited for this set. Khans block has given us a ton of goodies and somehow FRF has even more cards I want to try out than KTK did.

    That's a flavor win.

    General article: WHY DOES KHANS SEALED SUCK SO BAD?

    Khans draft is fantastic, Khans sealed is dreadful. I played in a sealed side event at GP LA and I had one of the worst pools ever. I think I had no on-color rares and the crappiest most useless ones otherwise (aside from a Thousand Winds that I couldn't play at all). Still, my crappy Mardu deck...

    I haven't played Standard in a couple of weeks, but I was having fun with this format. It's way better than last year anyway. That might change if I see the same two decks everywhere at my LGS, but that hasn't been the case thus far.

    Cycling is one of my favorite mechanics, so another vote on Cycle Tri-Land here.

    Wat. Why are these out so early? Green legend is sweet and I'll take every wrath I can get.

    Way too slow for Cube, but I'd probably run Gisa in my Teysa, Orzhov Scion EDH deck. Splitting a creature into multiple black creatures at instant speed is pretty sweet.

    I've actually had a pretty good game against Stormbreath decks, not much trouble unless I'm left holding lands and crappy spells late game which happens every now and then. The biggest issue is getting to the late game, but that's where the Singing Bell Strike comes in and helps us get there...

    I wouldn't expect to get a Cube-worthy Walker here. As someone who plays a lot of EDH, I can totally see where these two (and Teferi) fit in. They're solid in multiplayer, way too slow for one-on-one. I do think some of the cards spoiled so far are sweet, like Jazal Goldmane and the evolving...

    I also have an Esper list I've been tweaking as well over the last two weeks. I'm kinda eh on the mana base right now, might want to make room for another Urborg and throw in another Strand. I'm currently at: Planeswalkers 3 Elspeth, Sun's Champion Sorceries 3 Divination 4 End Hostilities...

    Man, they packed so much flavor into that text. These are the kinds of legendaries I like seeing. Great art, interesting abilities, and delicious flavor.

    I maindeck a single copy of Utter End in the Esper Control list I've put together for this Standard. It's been pretty sweet everytime I've drawn it in the mid-late game.

    General CBS

    Really? He's been pretty sweet everytime I've seen him cast. He just does work. Worst case, your opponent is up a card but just burnt relevant removal on a three-drop that would have been used on your bomb. Also, the foil is super sweet looking, like most of the enchantment creature cards. I...
