If you want to play with Demonic Pact, I suggest it in Esper with white blink stuff and blue bounce stuff... But since we're in the BG thread consider the following "combos:" Demonic Pact Nature's Claim Song of the Dryads Endless Wurm Bane of Progress Wickerbough Elder Conclave Naturalists Seal...

It's one of those cards that would be real bluh in a traditional cube because Treachery and Control Magic exist and ideally you want to get the Titan they played T3 with your T4 Control Magic. But in a Riptide cube, Threads could be pretty swell, because of the lower mana curve and bomb density...

I know one of the Riptide design goals is to reduce obvious first-picks, but personally, I like to get drunk while drafting, and therefore I don't want to have to think that hard. Drafting is challenging enough for a scrub like me without having to open P1P1 and not see any...

Re: prowess guys, I have to say I liked Jeskai granny while she was in my Cube. Not having evasion hurts somewhat, but attacking with mana open usually made the block decision difficult for the opponent. I was generally satisfied with 1-2 loots from her.

Fetters is sweet. I run it in any control deck that has Plains. If you have enough auras to run Heliod's Pilgrim it just gets better. It's not exactly the P1P1 bomb removal it once was, but like, what is? Speaking of Control Magic, what do people think of Threads of Disloyalty?

I also love the Kavu. It's simple. It's effective. It's splashable. It's poddable. IDGAF that it's not unique to my Cube.

Why not try that Rebel pacifism but as a Changeling pacifism instead?

Just a side note, Phantasmal Bear -> Remand -> Tangle Wire is the play sequence that took Tangle Wire from "always tables to me" status to "first pick" status in my playgroup, but it wouldn't have been possible without my fuzzy-wuzzy friend. Defensive red critters at 3 you say? Feldon of the...

I love cloudfin, but my drafters begged me to replace it with delver. He's been fine, but unexciting (for me). Love me some low-cc evolvers though.

It's good with lots of players, but compare it to crystal shard and i think they come out even-ish

Yes, but I like the roles Coinsmith fills better (lifegain/drain, constellation, human, scales to multiplayer). They are both aggressive-ish WB bears, so they share that at least. Re: the burn question, I'll rep Stoke the Flames all day cuz that card is amazing. I prefer Firecraft to Javelin...

I mean, they don't HAVE to block it... :rolleyes: But yeah the unearth rider might be a bit much. Maybe if it cost like 7 to unearth? For some reason unearth just really feels right to me on a punisher guy that has more than two decision paths... Like, maybe you or your opponent misplay the...

Pick one: Gerrard's Verdict (but only if it gets the modern-frame treatment) Pick two: Gerrard's and Tidehollow Sculler, but I'd rather have Underworld Coinsmith than Sculler

We got Marrying Mr. Darcy over our anniversary weekend. My wife always plays Lizzie and always tries to marry Darcy... But she's really good at the game anyway somehow and beats me. Fun game though.

What if it only got a single counter from each sac? What if it had the Jackal Pup rider? What if it was an artifact or enchantment creature? What if it was a zombie goblin warrior? What if I shouldn't have had coffee this morning?

Oh derp, I was going for the Duskmantle effect and just misquoted it. Hmm, an RB menacing deathtoucher you say? Tymaret's Vanguard {B}{R} Creature—Zombie Warrior Menace, Deathtouch When Tymaret's Vanguard is dealt damage, it deals that much damage to you. Whenever Tymaret's Vanguard deals...

This is probably too custom for this thread, but I think if Azorius Justiciar read like so: Azorius Justiciar {2}{W}{W} Creature—Human Wizard Flash At the beginning of your upkeep, you may detain up to two target nonland permanents your opponents control. If you do, return Azorius Justiciar to...

Grim Backwoods is, like, the most EDH land ever printed. I love it but I'd never cube it. MAYBE if the cost was {B}{G}, {T}?

Let me soup up that Menacing Deathtoucher a bit... {U}{B} Artifact Creature—Zombie Rogue Menace, Deathtouch At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player reveals the top card of his or her library, loses life equal to the revealed card's converted mana cost, then puts that card into his...

I personally am not a fan of Entreat. I run Secure the Wastes and Tempt with Vengeance as my two X token makers. I dislike Entreat as compared to them because: -Entreat is a sorcery, and the tokens don't have haste -Miracle is super high-variance and Entreat might as well be Decree of Justice...
