Idk, I personally find Bob to be a lot more interesting than Goblin Guide. I mean he's obviously best in aggro, but he's a Human and a Wizard, has synergies with a top deck manipulation theme, provides a payoff for a life-gain theme... He's one of those creatures that is generically good, but in...

Quirk's pack: FTK Eric's pack: Condescend Safra's pack: Snapcaster or anything else I can put in the same deck as Alesha

{R}{G} Sarkhan for the anthem effect and steal/sac shenanigans. Used to be Xenagos, but he was boring. {W}{B} Sorin Lord of Innistrad for no particular reason other than I have the DD foil. {W}{R} Ajani cuz my Boros-lovin' drafter likes him. {U}{G} Theros Kiora for the cool wave in the...

They are in with the other lands (my cube uses a Land Draft, not just a Utility Land Draft) and you draft one at a time, one per pick, just like the other lands. We are still developing how the (U)LD as a whole is run 'cuz we just started doing it 2 sessions ago.

In my 400 list (450 if you count the duals in the ULD), I've got: {W}1 (flip Gideon) {U}2 (Jace B, flip Jace) {B}2 (LotV, flip Lily) {R}3 (Koth, Pyromaster, Sarkhan) {G}2 (OGarruk, Nissa WW) Gold: 6 (Venser, Sarkhan, Sorin, Ajani, Ral, Kiora) For a total of 16/400. No problems to report so far...

I'm really not sold on Blighted lands being "low power level." These lands are giving you, on average, a 3-mana effect (Harrow, Divination) or a legitimate creature removal spell (Edict, Shock) on a LAND, and more than that, on a land that enters untapped and only needs one color to activate...

I did something similar before I cut my Cube's power level. Two Elspeths, two (and then three) Jaces, two Lilianas. For Red and Green I didn't care so much though, because those colors of decks just rarely went for the Superfriends route for some reason. Of course, now my PW count is somewhat...

I already run Flagstones, but after reading this article I really like Boom & Bust!

If Bob's too good for your environ, there's always Blood-Chin Rager (can confirm from testing that he's good) and Pain Seer is a tame Bob. Zulaport Cutthroat, I think, is going to be much less of a downgrade from everyone's favorite Vamp than he first appears.

I mean, you are sacking all your lands to do it, and the tokens don't have evasion. It sounds like a pretty fair tradeoff to me for 6 lands. It's no Splinter Twin, that's for sure.

People keep saying Black 2-drops suck and aren't humans. Which brings me to the question, why don't y'all just run multiples of Dark Confidant? He's a pretty decent card, yeah? And a human! I mean, it seems to have worked for Gravecrawler, although I signed up too late here for that hullabaloo.

Well, my environment (CT isnt totally updated at all) has an exceedingly low curve. I try (not necessarily succeed) to give all decktypes playables at the lower points on the curve. For example, i often draft Ux control in my cube. Generally my first three turns are something like: T1 cast a...

I personally like my control and midrange decks to be doing just as much on turns 1-3 as the aggro deck.

My personal favorite prowess enabler is Flame Jab.

Harrow is frickin' fantastic and I recommend it to everyone. It's one of the most universally-synergistic (an oxymoron I know, but it's NOT the same thing as generic) ramp spells in existence. I also like Quest for the Gemblades, but Green spells are realllllllllllly tight for me. It's so hard...

What Dia said about aggro is spot-on. Aggro becomes much more interesting when it has a synergy component that allows it to finish the game late, rather than just being so blistering-fast that games never go late. In my cube, I use vertically-growing creatures like Parish Champ and level-up...

Miracle Gro {G} Instant Proliferate. If you paid Miracle Gro's buyback cost, scry 1. Buyback {1}{U}

The design vs. the actual champion is mostly just a fun non-sequitir. Thresh as an mtg character would be either Mardu or Grixis. He's a sadist who keeps tortured souls in his lantern and drags others in with a chain scythe. But anyway. One thing i like about the Quirion Dryad/Managorger...

You can find perhaps the most auto-erotic entry in my sig, good Vengevine

Yeah, to make that land feel Simic i think it'd work better as "whenever you draw a card" or "whenever you cast a (not) blue/green spell" but i love that land anyway. Awesome manland. P.S. Lol championship thresh. Lanterns OP. Also a cool card design. Would straight-up colorshifted Quirion...
