I wholeheartedly agree with you about the "when it's good, it's really good" statement. The biggest issue I have with EDH is that when it's bad, it's miserable. For example, I had a game at my LGS where someone soft locked everyone out of the game using Yosei, the Morning Star and a couple of...

I could probably go on a 30 page rant about why I think commander generally sucks when I'm playing it with anyone other than my friends. The format can be extremely fun, but it is also probably the single least balanced sanctioned format in all of magic (and that's saying something, since...

Honestly what your "playgroup" likes is only important if you play together on a regular basis. If it's the first time you've drafted your cube with a group of people, then what they like can't realistically have an influence on your design. Now, obviously, if you play with the same 7 people...

Hellkite Igniter is a more interesting card.

I think getting to bounce your Draw1 Lose1 creature is an upside in this scenario...

+1 on Strangleroot Geist

Cabal Stronghold

That is an interesting line of play. I think you're correct, context is probably going to be an important part of this decision. Thanks for the tip! I updated the post use it. Noxious Gearhulk is definitely closer to the original titans in design. I'm just using the term "Titan" to mean...

The Sinister Situation of Shadowborn Demon Shadowborn Demon Shadowborn Demon is one of those cards which straddles the line between completely busted and absolutely unplayable. Even during an era when Mono-Black decks dominated standard, one would be hard pressed to find a deck giving the...

Minecraft says Hi.

Power Play could be fun. I think being able to always go first is a great little advantage for aggro strategies.

Yeah to Unexpected Potential because it lets you play Demonic Tutor in your Mono-Red deck. Neigh to everything else for being too swingy (except for maybe sentinel dispatch although I think Chris gave a pretty decent argument against it.)

Thank you both for your kind words! LSV's ranking system was partially an inspiration for my list. I spelled out this ranking system so that people would have a better idea of what I was trying to say when a card was, for example, a 5. The biggest thing I want people to take away from this...

KezzerdrixVSSpawn of Mayhem 1. Rate these two cards using The Thanos Approach. 2. Which one of these cards do you think is more interesting as a black 4-drop. Kezz is less powerful, but seems a little bit cooler. Spawn just seems kinda bomby, but in a way that could be interesting to play with.

And you know, it's fine if one color in an archetype doesn't add as much to that strategy to the other. In my current U/G section, decks try and untap lands with mana enchantments. Green is the core of the strategy, but most of the decks still play a lot of blue. As long as you have a fun deck...

The Thanos Approach to Cube "Perfectly balanced, as all things should be..." Ever since I started cubing, I've found myself caught between two differing design ideologies. On one hand, you have the power-maxed cubers of MTGS and, to a lesser extent, the r/MTGCube. Those communities are more...

I have decided to start a new thread to discuss random cube and non-cube related magic things. I'm going to discuss the process of constructing new cubes here, as well as talking about single cards I have been enjoying. I also plan to discuss Cube Theory and deckbuilding. I thought it would make...

You certainly have some interesting concepts at play here- I think your draft will go well. On Ramroller- does it having only 2 power actually matter in most matchups?

I think you're getting too caught up looking for synergy for this deck and missing the larger picture of your environment. Although I wouldn't call your list high powered, it is not low powered enough for a lot of the mono-U landfall enablers to be good, or even playable in some cases. I think...
