One work around for the "turn 3 wrath of god" problem would perhaps be to run 5 cmc sweepers like cleansing nova and end hostilities?

No but I mean, is that a good thing for the draft environment?

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Certainly fun to play this, get every creature onboard, then blink it to toss everyone out again for massive value™?

Hang in there inscho! Stay strong and healthy indoors. And keep us posted on the cube designing :)

I quite like storms wrath just because it's a cleaner text box, + you can try to find creatures with 5+ toughness to keep them around after wiping weenies.

My usual caveat for any kind of suggestion for a theme like this is to first sketch up what the actual concrete deck would look like!

The topters have evasion, also! So while they 'gum up the board' they'll also additionally move towards closing out the game!

I'm in a similar unfortunate situation, being Scandinavian. Hopefully we'll see similar events here in Europe in the future as well :)

I've settled at defining tempo as "The rate at which you change the number of active threats in your favor", so playing a lot of creatures quickly -> tempo. Bouncing your opponents creature -> tempo. Playing a sweeper would also be a tempo play, in that you very quickly remove many threats in...

Before we have this discussion, I think we would need to define what we mean by value!

While I agree, this is largely a matter of semantics. The problem I believe isn't the words necessarily but the lack of a consistent definition instead of just a kinda fuzzy grouping of stuff that's been called 'aggro' or 'control' before. I think using aggro as synonymous with 'fast deck' and...
