Finally, a cube where I know how to have a 100% win rate!

I was recently made aware of Contest of Claws and while it's not strictly Eldrazi-flavored it definitely works well with having an enormous idiot in play...

or we can just have surveil lands with cycling 2 or karoos with basic land types that sometimes come in untapped gotta admit I didn't expect those :marofl:

Depends on the definition of "better", I'd assume - a triome is "better" than a shock but if I'm a Kird Ape aggro deck I really want Stomping Ground specifically but if I don't have the Ape then why not take Copperline Gorge or maybe I have Thought-Knot Seer so I need Karplusan Forest (get it...

I never listen to podcasts but I would immediately read a transcript - and I assume there are not enough of me to make it worth the time to produce one but I'm sounding off anyway! - because I am legitimately interested in knowing what every person involved had to say.

(really though, if two people decide to go in on the same archetype, that makes the draft more and not less interesting, right?)

if you haven't put like five Surging Might on a Bull Aurochs, you have probably lived a better life than I did but you are missing out

I'd be pretty horrified to be in ten rooms at once!

You say that, but it took twenty years after Shelldock Isle for WotC to be like "we could put a number on this" and print Rabble Rousing. It's just sensible futureproofing!

Gravecrawler is the spell I think I've seen singleton-breaking here most often. There's just nothing like it (plus it works with itself in multiples!) in terms of cheap black recursive creature.

I actually just broke singleton with double fetches. Because I decided to stop messing around with fastlands and painlands and just play the stuff that synergizes. I think fundamentally the answer there is "you don't!" - go deep, just do it in a second distinct cube or something. Because...

Heidar, Rimewind Master seems pretty stoked about it

this opinion is shared by so few people around me and I agree with you

You know, I go and leap to WotC's defense - atypical for me - and within the day I see MaRo say something else that makes me think you're less tinfoily than I had thought: They've been doing ten signpost uncommons for all non-faction/guild/whatever sets, are we gonna get Spider-Factions? Or...

I will say that you have to separate out two distinct groups of "they" here! R&D is comprised of - even the very old guard that didn't get hired after a stint in competitive play, and the Great Designer Search winners, and so on - chronic, inveterate, unrepentant, lifelong drafters. I'd be...

SOM|Steady Progress flavor text gets me every time

Ox of Agonanas confirmed most valuable nana

It's a reprint from March of the Machine, where it had a more horror-movie flavor text, but that doesn't actually answer your question (because I don't know)

My understanding of the original logic was - keep in mind, this dates back probably 15 years at this point - almost nobody was breaking singleton back then. Having two copies of an effect was novel, and let you build your deck around it and build your draft around the idea that you'd probably...

If they reprint the card they can change the text in italics since it's not rules text, right? Scout the City Choose One - Look Around - Drop An Entire Building On Them -
