    I wouldn't put it in my cube, yet I doubt it would make any big waves in any constructed format. Maybe in pauper, if it was a common.

    I mean, I would maybe even play a Grizzly Bear with retrace.

    I once won a game by making five or six Gelectrodes with Spitting Image. That was nasty, as each copy triggered the ones I already had. It was a good day. Man, I really want them to revisit retrace. Or make good jump-start cards.

    Throes of Chaos is cool. But is it good? What kind of decks run it? Loam decks? Can it just be a kind of curve topper that prevents you from flooding?

    General What is your stickiest glue card?

    I think this deck would perform very well at our draft tables. You got a nice suit of countermagic and card draw, two stealing effects and with Pterry an efficient finisher at hand. Love it!

    I had Cenn's Enlistment in my Cube some years ago and it was fine. Really nice way to avoid the feelbad of flooding. I cut it for Battle Screech I think, and I wouldn't undo that, but I wonder if it's worth another try now with Crucible, LftL and World Shaper in my List ...

    If only black/green decks would play these anyway, then I'd also vote for Spawning. If something like a blue/black or red/green Worm Harvest deck is a realistic possibility, I'd prefer the hybrid.

    General What is your stickiest glue card?

    See, I understand that some environments have a hard time getting to the adapt, which makes it just a flying men without the plus, and in that case I'm with @Chris Taylor here. But ... ... I can't agree with these statements. It is to me the opposite of a narrow card, as it goes in tempo and...

    General What is your stickiest glue card?

    I agree with almost everything written here, yet I stick with this: A 1/1 flier on turn one is a good start for aggro decks in almost any environment. A 1/1 flier with mid/lategame relevance is a card, that can hold it's ground even higher powered formats. Just today I listened to Andy from...

    General What is your stickiest glue card?

    I don't buy that. See, my format is a little lower powered than most around here even, but I can't believe it's so unique a format, that nowhere else a turn 1 flying men with upside is a very good start for any aggressive deck. Savannah Lions style cards just get stonewalled quickly, don't...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I still run a few "destroy target nonblack creature" removal spells in black. It is a nuance to make black kill spells a bit more effective in mono black than they are for the greedy 3+ color control piles. The logic is simple: The more black you pick during tze draft, the less black creatures...

    General What is your stickiest glue card?

    Big upside over delve monsters is, that he keeps your graveard intact. I can turn him into a 5/5 and still recur my Last Gasp with something or cast a huge Rise from the Tides later. To be fair, just a flying men isn't the worst in my cube either. And I think most players still undervalue 1/1...

    Pteramander You are a spells matter deck looking for some payoff? You are a ninja deck looking for some cheap fliers? You are a control deck looking for a finisher? I don't even support counter shenanigans, but still give my vote to this cute little salamander, because no other one-drop goes...

    General 2022 Standard Rotation Cube Retrospective [Lucky Paper]

    A great listen, like always! I was happy to hear I wasn't the only one who likes Nested Shambler :D I am very cautious personally, when it comes to cube changes, at least when the motivation is "these cards are new". Often I test just three cards or so that feel like absolute slam dunks and...

    Grim Discovery In a cube with 20 Prismatic Vistas, this card should be really solid, right? Edit: I guess it's still not that great.

    General Ever feel like bounce > flicker?

    I'm tagging stuff like Flickerwisp as "Blink Enabler" and stuff like Wall of Omens as "Blink Target". A "Blink Payoff" would be an additional game piece that rewards you for having your thing entering/leaving the battlefield, like Soul Warden or Soul Herder.
