Interesting idea. I'd like it a little more like mentor of the meek instead of fecundity. Maybe this? Mentor of the Bleak 2B Whenever another creature you control dies, you may pay 1. If you do, draw a card. 2/2 This way it doesn't cost you life (something black really needs to grow out of)...

I'd chock that up to being more Jitte's fault for being broken than the legend rule for giving people an answer :P

I have easy powerful ways to abuse them, they just don't lock the game down on one side when they get going :p Pawn of Ulamog, Blood Artist, Stronghold Assassin (This guy might be too good, he's new), any of the sac outlets (Most Notably Goblin Bombardment, Blasting Station, Mortarpod, and...

The only hard times I find is when I'm looking for a really old thread and I'm not sure what it's called :P Coincidentally, how do you make mana symbols? I've just been using UUGBB, but it seems there's a way to make them look like actual mana symbols

There are 4 pages of threads... hmmm....

I think I remember this guy from the thread on MTGS? Personally favorite version was the BB2 3/3 ETB smallpox, kinda a Fleshbag Marauder on Steroids. Part of it might be that we're talking about different things: the traditional black "Sac" deck is more of a pod deck (Braids, Smokestack...

I haven't heard of the place actually :P Welcome to the forums by the way! Life's been pretty busy with the wedding planning recently, so if I ever get a spare breath outside of work I'll let you know

Outta curiosity, why is the cube talk forum CubeTalk5? :P Also, do we have any plans to make subforums for cube lists, Card/Archetype Discussion, or other headings?

Hmmm...Interesting: Passive Tokens: Elspeth, Knight Errant Emeria Angel Hero of Bladehold Meloku the Clouded Mirror (!) Bitterblossom Pawn of Ulamog (!) Krenko, Mob Boss (!) Awakening Zone Garruk Relentless Sorin, Lord of Innistrad Active Tokens: Gather the Townsfolk Lingering Souls Midnight...

@Jason: I find it helps me keep track of the direction my cube is heading in/where it's been. I try my best to record somewhere why I cut the cards I cut and why I added the cards I added, in that they might come back one day. Kinda like Kranny's idea of an on-deck binder. (I don't hold much of...

Of cards I'd play in token decks: -Blade Splicer is too key, probably the best 3 drop for both tokens and other beatdown lists. -Flickerwisp is more universally playable, but pianna would be a more narrow, but more powerful inclusion. -Mirror Entity has more random bonuses attached (Eg...

I can't way to draft the Awakening Zone/Fun-race Celebration/Pawn of Ulamog deck, it looks like such a blast :D Also, another card that has proved itself lately? it may look innocuous, but this card isn't really what it appears to be on the surface. What it really is is this: + The game...

Jason, I think you and I might have different ideas for the bulk uploader. Do you keep patch notes of your cube, or document changes? (Eg: Shrine of Burning Rage out, Burning-Tree Emissary in) Clearing your cube and re-adding the whole thing each time makes change logs hard to discern. Is this...

http://www.channelfireball.com/home/pvs-playhouse-aggro-control/ Here's the artcile about aggro control for those interested. I'm currently looking into if it's possible/worth it to design my blue/black sections in this direction

I suppose if there's one card you can assume all your players know the rules text of, plains is a pretty good candidate :P

As well, in looking to improve blue tempo in my cube, I've been looking for cheap, disruptive creatures which still pack a bit of a punch; the Snapcaster mages, Kiras and Silvergill Adepts of the World. mostly at the 2 drop slot, because I've found blue's early creatures to be sorely lacking in...

Back to the main topic, an interesting point of discussion came up on the MTGS forums recently: What cards would you want colorshifted for your cube? It origionally asked only for cards that aren't currently in your cube, but would be in different colors (Lol Red Tinker) since the discussion...

I'm unsure of the exact makeup, but have you considered dropping loam/crucible instead of all the wastelands? I'm still singleton on those kinds of effects, but I'm definitely sure my aggro decks need them, though more to delay control decks a turn than to actually lock them out of the game. I...

I think what we've all been wondering is: What does your basic land box look like? Is it all one art of plains, or many? Are they all foil? Or do you have 5 different plains arts which more resemble island/forest/swamp/mountains?

You may be pushing on these too hard. See how it plays, but renewed faith only kinda interacts with miracles, since it doesn't help unless you have some way to set them up (or are really lucky). I see the idea with Guilded Lotus, but I think Descendant might be the wrong place to turn, surely...
