I've never ran him :( I think it might have the seal of cleansing problem where they just kill it and then play their threat, but with a WAY easier to deal with card type

Hey if I could I'd rename the thread to "Getting Blue Tempo To Work" I would, but I can't do that for some reason :P My initial design was to make delver work by changing where he fits: From a threat light deck with lots of disruption into a tokens based deck which relies more on midnight...

Awww, but he looks so pretty in foil! :(

Utility Power Draft? :p No seriously, that actually does solve the problem of people opening sol ring and recall and just steamrolling everyone who didn't Edit: The more I think about this the more brilliant it seems...

Nah I'm just a really expressive person IRL, and I find that text usually cuts a lot of that out.

FWIW I am actually trying Shadowborn Demon and he's been sweet. Being card nutrality is a big step up from previous pit lords, and He's cheap enough that trading one off guys for lava axes is worth it some of the time. Also Tuktuk If you really feel so attached to lifebane zombie, we could...

Oi jinxed choker is the shit :P Vortex #2

I'd keep legionaire in if you can, 3 power first strikers are sweet. Mans basically has evasion he's so hard to block :P It's not too late! Relic of Progenitus isn't on that cut list yet :P

Green/Anything aggro doesn't have those problems because it can lean on the other color for dude supplementing duties. Like I said, red has reach, blue has tempo black has etc etc etc To be an aggro color, you can't be embareassed playing a mono color version of that deck, since sometimes you...

I ligitimatly Lol'd :P The reason I suggusted the diverse color commentary is because that that way it seems a little less "Dance puppets dance" for you and you two get to play off each other so your critique doesn't color the whole article (single voice and all that) Maybe I'm overthinking...

I'd be inclined to agree, but blue does offer something green doesn't: Time (Tempo) Blue actually does have a unique angle to attack being an aggro deck from, where white usually swarms, black never stops coming, and red has reach. Green has plow under. That's it. a 5 mana mostly-feel-bad...

I'm going to see how it goes. Maybe they're all terrible but frostburn weird works, or maybe we make it so blue sections run a few fog banks if this is their plan, who knows. I sure hope it's the former

That is a little less interesting when there's only 1 judge though. Can we get Eric in for some other color commentary? Or CML? He's entering though, hmmm

It's the perfect storm of constructed playable, big enough to be interesting and small enough to be realistic. No seriously, that's the answer. 1 and 2 drops don't really have enough to spread around, so you don't get much variance in the possibilities, especially since we discount anything...

Frostburn Weird is kinda the only one I've found that looks good. He might be the standard guy since so many cube 2 drops have 3 power, and he's the only card that would block them at all Frilled Oculus would be great if it weren't 2 colors. Mangler/Incursion Specialist are horrible, but I...

Yeah I kinda went hog wild yesterday :P It works. This shit is fun, like any other hobby you share with awesome people. Though I may find myself regretting this if I can't finish that literature review...

Green doesn't have any way of interacting on the board unless it's already winning (Prey Upon) Fucking every black creature ever can't block OR loses you life or both Everything white does other than creatures/removal/walkers is HORRIBLE (Slight exception a few combat tricks, but a narrow set at...

That's what I'm saying, I think the article needs an update for modern times, maybe to be a bit less instructional and a bit more theoretical. The current WotC crop of 3+ toughness 2 drops which attack well is....5 cards (Aquamoeba, Incursion Specialist, Frilled Occulus, Frostburn Weird, and...

How about you comment on the articles themselves? Stirring up discussion from the non-lab folk would probably go well to getting us to think differently about them anyways. The actual article isn't being edited to have your critique, is it, it's separate? Man autocorrect is hilarious :P...

I've never had much success with X counters, they always seem so flimsy. I don't think I'm going for another cancel variant, since I'm removing forbid for one of these, and not because it was opressive :P
