I think it's slightly weaker than Languish. You can't really save your x toughness guys, mostly, as they will get much weaker as a result. It's still a very nice wrath that can cripple a small aggro horde as well as a board of large fatties. It's probably my favorite black board wipe after Bane...

Zephyr Boots Daemogoth Titan Emergent Sequence It's moved up to three cards after a few drafts. Zephyr Boots was a slam dunk for me, Titan also seems to fit my specific environment very well and Emergent Sequence has really grown on me, might be my favorite design of the set now. It's a Rampant...

Okay, that's noteworthy, I admit. :D

I think still pretty good. Even without delve, it is a 8/8 Siege Wurm that can be cast over and over again from your graveyard. And black decks can play it too! And then it has delve too! I don't think it's a lower power card.

I like the ones that work with spells already cast, so you don't have to worry about drawing stuff in the correct order. My favorite is: Enigma Drake I love this card. It is rewarding without being too powerful and it goes in both tempo and control oriented versions of the deck. Also overlaps...

Glint-Eye, Witch-Maw, ... no these are too difficult. I'm pretty good at remembering the monocolor names however. Black, green, blue, red ... uhm ... ah, white, that's it.

Within the restraints of your supported themes/archetypes, you're always chosing the best options available. There might be restrictions that change things of course, like "no p9", but unless we're having larger restrictions like "only comons", I'd call a cube max power. Just for communication...

I can recommend Peek and Portent as well. I like Peek a little more gameplay wise, as fatesealing can be annoying and instant speed offers more flexibility and synergy. Do the cantrips have to be blue? Shelter Guided Strike These are really good if combat is an important thing in your cube...

I'm using brushwagg reaction as a super like fyi Three likes are making me happy! I'm on the list now. I just need someone to play cube with when my gf is busy and there is that pandemic going too. I'll make a thread as soon as I'm done (probably tomorrow, I know myself).

In a few days we will probably not even notice it anymore. Only thing bothering me is the round shaped profile pic, my Dimir Guildmage is cut off :( Onders pic however seems to be made for that upgrade!

Another topic: if one handsome member of these boards would create a arena peasant cube, would you draft it online on cc/ct to play a few matches afterwards with these decks (on arena, obviously)?

Oh yeah, that's another nice way of utilizing it :) Some other non-EtB creatures synergizing with it in my cube are: Fireblade Charger Spikeshot Goblin Den Protector Penumbra Spider Basically all death triggers, obviously. However, I think at it's best it will be in the ninjutsu decks, where...

I don't think however that the exile clause on Incendiary Flow or Dissipate is really taxing much from your drafters, especially if these clauses are common. They will have to read them, yes, but it's so easily understood that it is more like an added "scry 1" or "draw a card". You shouldn't...

I'd specifically prefer one that isn't a plain removal, as my black section is already good on that. Supernatural Stamina was also the first one I thought about. This can at least be card avantageous with EtB creatures. But are any of those really better than Stamina?

Maybe you don't have to abandon that strategy? I think complex and simple strategies can co-exist and be equally succesful. Beginners don't tend to draft dredge or madness decks in my cube as well, but a simple aggro, ramp or "I picked everthing with the word flying on it" strategies are...

What is black's best combat trick? I already run Void Beckoner and Malakir Rebirth, but one is a reanimation enabler/target and the other is basically free as a spell/land, so they both don't really count.

For the last week or so the activity on tese boards is kinda disappointing. Are you guys all drafting strixhaven? I haven't been too happy with it yet. Quandrix seems unbeatable and Lorehold seems to be barely a thing. I've went 2-1 with two mediocre Silverquill decks and an mediocre Abzan deck...

The strongest themes in red in my cube are probably madness and goblin tribal. Might this card be just playable? Firefright Mage Played on turn one it can probably get in an attack or two or three. And the effect can be very good, especially when you discard Fiery Temper it to kill their...

I'd say the bodyguard is much worse because you have to decide if it's worth pulling the trigger. Sure, if they try to kill your 2-drop you'd rather lose the bodyguard, but then you wont be able to protect your 3-drop. And it's not just removal, with the giver you can chump block for ever, make...

It is still a must-answer-threat (well, it's not directly a threat, but you know what I mean) in most situations, for a single mana! I'd stay clear of it in lower power level cubes like mine.
