These three threads give some answers to the last question Archetypes I like in WG: +1/+1 Counters: Green is always the core for this deck but white is the best supporting colour as it offers the best mass pump in Mikaeus, the Lunarch and Gavony Township as well as all of the Ajanis, Citadel...

Storm's WrathHour of Devastation

I LOVE Deathmist Raptor but it's the perfect example of a card that's strong with only a handful of specific cards making it hard to do anything with reliably. You can't set up these format-defining Den Protector + Raptor chains when you only have one of each

Rimestag is a lot cleaner and doesn't mislead drafters into looking for an energy subtheme (Cub can be a self-contained threat so it suggests it less but it's still a natural thing to expect)

Everything I said about Yawgmoth would apply without the proliferate text, that's just a bonus

I'd say Yawgmoth (at its peak) >> Rankle ~= Nightpack Ambusher >>>>>>> the rest. My Cube is fairly high-power compared to some here and Yawgmoth is borderline too strong because it's just SO good in the right deck

Uploaded the big master list I'm working from here: https://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/162891 https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/8hv (CubeTutor AI seems better for now so draft there I guess?) I'd appreciate any feedback or test drafts!

I'll write this up in my thread at some point but the lands matter question comes down to whether you want your decks to care about specific utility/build-around lands or just having a bunch of lands to shuffle between zones. If you care about certain lands you can dig for them quite...

I'm going to be scaling back on a lot of the narrower artifacts and 'artifacts matter' cards as I found they were harder to make work than I hoped. Scrap Trawler is one of my favourite cards of all time but it never came together in practice. Even my beloved Goblin Welder has been more demanding...

I definitely assumed Satyr tribal when it was previewed!

This sounds really fun! No idea how realistic it will be for me to attend but I'd love to if I can

I've warmed to Arcanist's Owl as a thicc Glint-Nest Crane that also turbo-charges devotion for either Thassa and Master of Waves

The Top 8 had exactly one Field of the Dead deck, prompting the Twitter masses to make fun of people who wanted it banned in the first place. https://www.magic.gg/events/mythic-championship-v Why are you talking so confidently about something you know literally nothing about and which is...

:confused: Oko appeared in a full half of the lists from the Mythic Championship where it was legal: https://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/2019MC5/all-mythic-championship-v-standard-decklists

ok now define tempo

If you're open to wackier options: Over my Dead Bodies

Here's an example of a themed aggro deck with a low curve that illustrates what I want: Ones 1 Thraben Inspector 1 Hexdrinker 1 Giver of Runes 2 Experiment One 1 Warden of the First Tree Twos 1 Wildborn Preserver 1 Scavenging Ooze 1 Nest Invader 1 Kor Skyfisher 1 Grateful Apparition...

Moving away from classic 1-drop aggro, especially in red, was a big step for me: - It takes up so much space as you care a lot more about the quantity of 1-drops than the quality. It's hard to rethink red if half of red's card pool is spoken for with cards that only fit in dedicated aggro...

THEROS BEYOND DEATH I went back and forth on the original Theros but ended up pursuing all of constellation, devotion, and heroic in various ways that derailed a lot of Cube sketches. My hopes weren't especially high for the reboot but I wanted more tools for each of those so that I could...

To wrap up the year: the PC didn't go great for me but I got to put on a nice show (watch that G2!) Wrote a piece for SCG on wacky Modern ramp decks that should be free in a few days
