They are just very easy and effective strategies to draft, and the focus on big monsters makes it a magnet for more casual players. If you are not careful, you end up with a format defined by G/x kiddie decks.

I forgot I wanted to mention that frenzied goblin can be decent in an environment where you have a density of (preferably slower) things that want to connect for value geist of saint traft markov blademaster ninja of the deep hours tandem lookout mistblade shinobi bloodcrazed neonate...

I completly forgot decree of pain existed. Does it play out like reach 8 mana and win the game though? Not sure how I feel about that. A lot of these are really hard to evaluate. Toxic deluge shows up at a really interesting point on the curve against my humans deck, since if you are on...

Yeah, designing for green sections can be frustrating. My solution was to run a lot of green's self-mill graveyard cards. Threshold, madness, and evolve/graft are also other possibilities. There are definitely some different themes to explore before resorting to the extreme of cutting a...

Updates? How has your ramp package worked out.

I don't want to seem like I’m ignoring the thread, it just is that looking at cube lists is a bit overwhelming in the best of times, and this is a 517 card list. Since going over gatherer for someone else’s list, analyzing a list, and responding to posts with ideas can be very time consuming...

hmm...how did I forget forbidden alchemy. Also there is lightning surge

I'm actually not a big fan of tracker's instinct and have been considering running a second mulch in its place.

Yeah, its just a great mechanic that provides a source of card advantage to decks that don't normally easily come by it. Also, somehow we forgot: ancient grudge

What black sweepers do you run? I would probably be inclined to run drown in sorrow, but the double black kind of turns me off. Ultimately, I really only want to have one card that unequivocally wipes the board. Aetherspouts looks skill testing in a fun way.

My favorite flashback card: silent departure Other ones I like mystic retrieval increasing confusion cackling counterpart rolling temblor lava dart geistflame feeling of dread fires of undeath army of the damned sever the bloodline crippling fatigue grasp of phantoms spider spawning...

I use temblor mostly because of the CC, which gives the champion and stromkirk decks a chance to get threatening, and also the flashback and inability to hit flyers, which works well in the burning vengeance decks. Thats interesting about anger of the gods getting worse. I would have never...

I used to run a bunch, but cut them down to a pair of rolling temblors and one terminus. Like I said, I know its biased towards my list, but I figure you have to start somewhere.

Potential Guild Pairings with themes and sub-themes Izzet U/R burning vengeance Aggro disruption: flashback spells, delver, burning vengeance, stormkirk noble uses bounce to connect U/R spells Aggro Disruption: same, but more of a focus on talrand, mystic retrieval and young pyromancer...

Ok, super rough draft with power level all over the place, and biased towards my cube. Not saying it has to be like this or that it is even a good idea. I just wanted to lay things out so I could see them. To start out, since a number of the themes overlaped so much, it looks like there are at...

So, after giving it some thought, I think these are possible approaches to mix things up: 1. Small Creature Resource cards (lords, convoke, devour, ect.): hellion eruption, seraph of the masses, hecatomb, mycoloth, bramblesnap 2. Tribal Aggro (humans/vampires/goblins/rebels): bloodline keeper...

Also there is: rebuff the wicked

In that same vein, I would cut inferno titan, balance, and giant growth.

Gisa seems reasonable just because she is both a human and a sac. outet. in black and thus is great with xathrid necromancer and champion of the parish. The CC might be an issue though.

Yeah, I guess it just looks like a very bomby format, and that would seem to be a little awkward for your removal suite. On one hand, you want to have something to keep the bombs from becoming grbs; but on the other hand that powerful removal completely slaughters about 90% of your other...
