Holy crap this thread exploded. Eric: Growth Spasm is probably the most fair of the above, and has been good. Joraga Treespeaker can fit into this spot on the curve too, and overgrowth plays well (maybe too well) with the arbor elfs you're running IIRC? I'd use growth spasm if you want people...

We might be talking past eachother here: cramming in anything without pairing it with other archetypes is just going to dilute whatever your adding it to at all, be that creatures or otherwise I'm not talking about a blue section without mana leak. I'm talking about a blue section that isn't...

Tempo is what I'm defending adding here, control is what I'm calling boring, and reanimator (when it does work) has the problem where your cards are shit individually and backbreaking in combination. Merfolk Looter is mediocre on it's own, as is Animate Dead, and whatever creature you're pooping...

There's a lot of problems with this approach though. Blue has a lack of good 1-2 drops, so if you're trying to wasteland/stifle/bounce to keep the game in the early stages, you start out behind, not ahead. You don't wasteland your opponent when their board is stromkirk noble and plateau and...

I just want blue to have more than one deck in it. I love the variety that comes from white having control and aggro pieces, and different but overlapping aggro pieces therin. I love that black has pod and sacrifice guys and control guys, and that those all weave into eachother because...

Most more means "Going from zero of these cards to 1-2 of these cards". Control still has plenty of options, since basically every white deck ever wants path/Oring etc. One thing I've noticed is trying to give the pump spells a bit more utility as well: Reckless charge grants haste, distortion...

Can it be boros charm instead? :P Even if all people see is the burn mode, saving a creature is sweet for a double strike deck and giving a creature double strike means your opponent doesn't get to save all their removal for fencing ace

I'm no constructed guy, but does SB Celestial Purge sound like a decent idea? Seems decent against BG and Twin at least

And only got printed once. Jesus, between this and evoke I'm actually looking forward to time spiral 2!

Yeah basically :P given the number of fetchlands in my cube, I essentially read his ability as {G/U}{G/U}:2::Mill 2, get F'd. He's much better now that he can actually "draw" you gas, albeit the worst gas available.

Emphasis mine. I'd never really thought of this, but come to think of it this might be the core of why blue aggro is such a strange beast. Weather you doom blade the wall of omens now or later matters a little, but you aren't losing much by waiting and developing your board instead. Blue on the...

rebound is fast becoming my new favorite mechanic

I actually found it was threes I had problems with: Serendib Efreet Man-o'-war AEther Adept Vendilion Clique Stitched Drake Fettergeist Calcite Snapper Crystalline Nautilus Horizon Drake Latch Seeker Kira, Great Glass-Spinner Pestermite Sea Drake Tandem Lookout Thassa, god of the Sea Wake...

I tripled it at one point and it was still not enough :( It was a decent value creature for pod, but it never did any attacking. I'm willing to admit that might have been greater problems with my cube design, but meh. I also have the problem that basically nothing is smaller than man o war...

This is true, and I do like him, but there's a few stipulations on your statement: He essentially can't block He kinda has the phantasmal keyword on your opponent's turn. Lol Basalt Monolith is a horrible card every other time Don't get me wrong, I love an oversized beater as much as the next...

Everything about that explination seems loose

I always wondered about this eric. Charioteers is even a human!

Needs moar unlesh/evolve guys + Phantom Nomad Also curse of predation. also volt charges. Him and ajani goldmane is sweet if totally overkill

*Crick's Neck* I'm just gonna talk in terms of the blue aggro thing here since you could hit random on gatherer until you filled your blue section and make a decent control list, even if it ends up finsihing people off with cloud djinn Specifically about 1 drops: Enclave Cryptologist: Probably...

Don't forget: High Sentinels of Arashin Sweet +1/+1 counter support. Emeria Angel ain't bad either, but I swapped to battle screech because of prowess This is of course to say nothing of Ajani Goldmane Ajani Steadfast Elspeth, Knight-Errant Wrath of God Day of Judgment Armageddon Ravages...
