Cleansing Beam was also really really solid. Like, swingy, but not bad all together. Sometimes you had to board it out, but more often it could kill multiple creatures on the opponent's board, which was actual card advantage, board effecting even, in red. But largely, I agree. The coolest...

I don't really share those feelings most if you seem to have. Yeah, I don't want Walking Dead magic cards or 250$ booster packs. But I can just ignore those. For me, the biggest throw off in magic's history is still how they disfigured the modern frames in 2014. Between Magic 2015 and Throne of...

What is the fight exactly? From these, I like Robber the most. Such a cool design. Ire Shaman is also sweet and adapts nicely to different power levels I assume. The Kobold looks weak, the Monkey is just stupid and shouldn't exist, period.

Well, I do support both, a selfmill deck caring about creatures (Golgari Grave-Troll, Undead Butler) in Sultai colors as well as a selfmill deck caring about lands (Life from the Loam, Cabal Pit) in Jund colors. Also, flashback-like value stuff. So, I think the Nyx Weaver is better because it...

Nyx Weaver Uurg, Spawn of Turg My intention says Nyx Weaver is still the better self-mill signpost and I'm just considering Uurg because it's new and shiny and has a cool showcase version. Correct?

I kinda forgot that I also run Rimrock Knight. The objectively better looking version of course. I also forgot about reinforce, which is a great mechanic with mostly mediocre cards. I even cubed Burrenton Bombadier and Hunting Triad. Both seemed totally fine on paper but almost never made it...

Traditionally, combat tricks have had a very hard time in cube. Removal tends to be very efficient and instant speed too, more often than not. Also, games don't always revolve around combat, when players cheat big fatties into play or cast Brainfreeze with a double digit storm count. Even if...

Dude, I'm cubing Jungle Lion. That Scarecrow isn't broken.

He appeared only once on the battlefield so far, and he was totally fine. He's a bit too clunky to be unfair in an environment with mostly really fair EtBs. It's still a card you want to remove, but so far I feel like you don't die if you can't remove him for a couple turns or so. Wish I could...

I wouldn't put it in my cube, yet I doubt it would make any big waves in any constructed format. Maybe in pauper, if it was a common.

I mean, I would maybe even play a Grizzly Bear with retrace.

I once won a game by making five or six Gelectrodes with Spitting Image. That was nasty, as each copy triggered the ones I already had. It was a good day. Man, I really want them to revisit retrace. Or make good jump-start cards.

Without the haste, there is Valor Singer

Throes of Chaos is cool. But is it good? What kind of decks run it? Loam decks? Can it just be a kind of curve topper that prevents you from flooding?

I think this deck would perform very well at our draft tables. You got a nice suit of countermagic and card draw, two stealing effects and with Pterry an efficient finisher at hand. Love it!

I had Cenn's Enlistment in my Cube some years ago and it was fine. Really nice way to avoid the feelbad of flooding. I cut it for Battle Screech I think, and I wouldn't undo that, but I wonder if it's worth another try now with Crucible, LftL and World Shaper in my List ...

If only black/green decks would play these anyway, then I'd also vote for Spawning. If something like a blue/black or red/green Worm Harvest deck is a realistic possibility, I'd prefer the hybrid.

See, I understand that some environments have a hard time getting to the adapt, which makes it just a flying men without the plus, and in that case I'm with @Chris Taylor here. But ... ... I can't agree with these statements. It is to me the opposite of a narrow card, as it goes in tempo and...

I agree with almost everything written here, yet I stick with this: A 1/1 flier on turn one is a good start for aggro decks in almost any environment. A 1/1 flier with mid/lategame relevance is a card, that can hold it's ground even higher powered formats. Just today I listened to Andy from...

I don't buy that. See, my format is a little lower powered than most around here even, but I can't believe it's so unique a format, that nowhere else a turn 1 flying men with upside is a very good start for any aggressive deck. Savannah Lions style cards just get stonewalled quickly, don't...
