    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Oh yeah, she fefinitely has synergies, mostly in {R/G} madness and {B/G} dredge. I think the strongest lines of play would be something like ... Discard Stromkirk Occultist and search for Arrogant Wurm Discard Golgari Grave-Troll and search for Nighthowler ... and I think my environment can...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Fauna Shaman Yeah, you read the thread title correctly. I know it's one creature liked much by power max people, but they also like harmless stuff that scales to an environment. So my question is: Does Fauna Shaman scale to the environment? Searching for a Crypt Rats is definitely not the same...

    Sets [KHM] Kaldheim Official Previews

    Blech means sheet or tin metal in german. But yeah, so far I am not exited by Kaldheims mechanics. Boast is a narrower raid. Foretell is a more boring morph imo. Dfcs are a bit annoying during draft, so I try to avoid them. Snow is parasitic and hard to enable in cube. Tribal is similar, and...

    [500] CCC - Casual Champions Cube

    While I experimented with cube occasionals last year, I realized I was too strict with archetype support. If you accept that even core archetypes will come together only 80% of the time instead of 100%, you open up for much positive variance. Before, I calculated the needs of my cube based on...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    There is technically a strictly better version, but I am the last one who wouldn't justify a card by it's old school coolness. Predator's Gambit

    I think the flavor would be more on point if the card would be exiled face up. That way you could also lower the costs, because the drawback of unhidden information can be huge with some cards.

    It is still pretty pushed though, the body alone. It's not quite as big an offender as the 3/4 double striker for 4 in red, but close. I remember Azure Drake being an uncommon because it had "such a solid body". I am totally fine with being better than Azure drake or Orazca Raptor, it is just a...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Lightning Axe How good is this card if you don't reliably have something you want to discard? See, my politics are, that I only count cards as removal, when you don't have to jump through too many hoops to get a solid rate. Incinerate and Last Gasp are obviously removal for every deck, Defile...

    I'd say it is compareable to Cloudgoat Ranger, maybe with a bit more power in potential synergies (blink, sacrifice, tokens). That's from my experience with it in a friend's cube, which is a bit higher in power level than mine but far from power max.

    Highball: Legacy of the Rails

    Very interesting writing, especially on adventures. For me these have been maybe the most impactful new mechanic since I've started the cube almost 7 years ago. Yet I've found the same approach you've taken to be the best one. Take the "silent roles player" like Order of Midnight or Embereth...

    [500] CCC - Casual Champions Cube

    Just had a blast drafting with my girlfriend. Since my latest update it happens more often that decks come together, that aren't among the explicitly supported archetypes. Since my first advanced deck back when I was eleven was Dimir Intrigues, this one made my heart leap. I even got the...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    You don't see green reanimation everyday. But green certainly has the enablers (and the fatties, even if color largely doesn't matter). This card seems good with stuff like Steve, which sac for value so you're not down a card. And instant speed can make for a neat surprise block. I've never seen...

    Yeah, I'm crossing my fingers too. I was playing during Time Spiral block, but I didn't know what limited was :(

    It is. And there are very awesome people in this comunity as well. I'd highly recommend searching for those insteadvof giving up after a bad experience. You could try it twice ; )

    Could you give me an estimated ranking of how likely these cards are to be played in a deck with zero landfall? Sea Drake Deprive Living Tsunami Edit: the other blue archetypes are Ninja Tempo, Spells Matter Control, Blink and Draw Go Control.

    Aaand we finally have an exact date. I'd say pretty much two more month until the spoiler season will start. It will probably be short, as there are no new cards and they can only show off which cards are included in the main set and the timeshifted sheet.
