Fair enough, I misunderstood this. I was thinking you were arguing for Grave Titan and Wurmcoil! So if Shriekmaw and Tireless Tracker are the top of your power band, what's at the bottom?

Maybe add a rider so that you can use any colour of mana to play them? Like Grenzo, Havoc Raiser. Works both as fixing if your own deck is greedy, and means you can actually cast the cards you steal.

It's also miserable from the other side of the table. Bomb rares are the thing I dislike most about retail limited, and I'd honestly prefer it without them. That's a big reason why I like cube so much.

I see Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim in a couple of p1p1s, how has she been performing? I'm looking for a cut in B/W and I think an additional sacrifice outlet would be useful, and I'm torn between her and Cartel Aristocrat at the moment.

More decks from a 6 player draft: After today I'm pretty sure I want to cut Upheaval and Recurring Nightmare, and tone down the Cloudposts a bit.

At the WMCQ a couple years ago I was playing UW Sphinx's Revelation control against some Naya aggro deck. I wrathed away some guys, my opponent untapped and rebuilt, and at the end of turn 7 I tapped out for Sphinx's Rev for 4. My opponent responds with Chord of Calling for 1. For Judge's...

S1E1 is the only one I've seen and I'd say it's worth watching.

I think trying to get people to take the "interesting" pick over the "safe" pick P1P1 is very difficult because one of the features of a good first pick is flexibility or "safeness". Trying to "put people on a potentially interesting draft path" is always going to be hard because those picks...

Which other ones do you have?

I don't know whether {U}{U} on Clique is more committing than the off-colour activations on Tasigur. He is effectively a two-colour card, although you have a choice of which other colour. I also wouldn't pick him with the primary plan of UB or GB. I think they're both fine colour combinations...

Without looking at the responses I would be torn between Vendilion Clique and Tasigur. I think they're the most flexible without losing out on power level. I don't like taking Goblin Guide or Emrakul first because whilst they're probably better in the decks they're good in, they're going to...

I just don't think this would realistically happen. I can't remember a single time I've had an opponent cast their spell randomly in the middle of my turn when it's clear I have priority. I also don't think Jessup is obfuscating which step of the game they're in that much. In the event that...

I don't think that's the same, and that's not what Jessup was trying to do. There's a difference between letting your opponent try and cast a spell when you have priority and are intending to use it, and bluffing that you think you've already moved to post blocks. I think that in your example...

This is pretty reminiscent of the Samuele Estratti bluff against Tom Martell from the Dark Ascension PT. You can see it here: I'm not sure how clear it is from the video but here's the situation as I understand it: Tom's about to take over the game with Beguiler of Wills. Samuele only...

I don't think it works with the Embodiments unfortunately but yeah there could definitely be a shell of something there. Tempt with Vengeance Giant Solifuge Bloodbraid Elf Boggart Ram-Gang Murderous Redcap Somberwald Stag Foe-Razer Regent Hellspark Elemental Hell's Thunder Chandra's Phoenix...

Laboratory Maniac

What sort of a format would Ravager be playable in? I assume there'd have to be some sort of artifact based aggro deck. Some ideas: Toolcraft Exemplar Court Homunculus Thraben Inspector Blade Splicer Master Splicer Tempered Steel Porcelain Legionnaire Esperzoa Faerie Mechanist Whirler Rogue...
