savannah lions elite vanguard isamaru, hound of konda And I think that may be it?

If it had no activation I would be much more likely to play it, but even than I think I would run hedron crab over it. If it was essentially doorkeeper but with that abilty I would run it, even at 3cc.

Yeah, he's not terrible, just kind of an odd duck. I had him in there mostly to exploit delver's upkeep trigger as a way to filter draws, and to turn cards like vanishment into hard removal. Hedron does the latter better, and mystic was way too slow--and mana intensive--for a delver shell...

So, I got to draft his guy last night: Dakra Mystic He wasn't horrible, but every situation where I had him out hedron crab would have been much better.

He interacts well with a lot of the anti-graveyard cards: terminus, hallowed burial ect. Also works well with scry.

I can't say I'm surprised; after looking at the spoilers it seemed like the typical multiplayer format wizards likes to create: bomby dragon magic catering to more casual gamers. Archenemy and planechase had a similar feeling to them: fun until you start to realize that the outcome of each game...

The place where I could see it having a home would be in a sort of ROE style cube where you are trying to build up resources before crashing in with some huge threat. However, that is not my cube, and here it would basically just be a green moat. If I ran this, 99% of the time it would be...

Traditionally, for me, cards like it have been more oppressive than interesting. I think it does depend on what you want from your cube. There is 0% chance I could ever run the card because I am trying to encourage early aggressive board states. I already cut the persist and undying creatures...

Than if you want to go deeper into the theme you have a number of more narrow cards that work well with scapeshift, but would probably need a lower overall power level, or specific supporting architecture (lack of sweepers, abundant bounce, mill sub theme ect.). Edit: for some reason it isn't...

Valakut on its own would be reasonable providing you have enough duals/shocks to keep it from being too narrow. Scapeshift is fine in a cube that has enough density of cards that want lands coming into play or in the graveyard and where the games are moving at a slow enough rate where a 4cc...

No, i've not tried any of those cards, though I may in the future. Since the cube is still relatively new, and I have a good idea how I want my games to play out, right now i'm more focused on making sure it has everything it needs to ensure that its consistant. Once I have it tuned better...

We've always just done a regular draft, with the effect that the packs go much deeper than they otherwise would. I've considered doing more packs with less cards per pack, but never done it. Other than being able to be a bit greedier than you otherwise would, the drafts themselves play out the...

We do 3-4 players and have always done free-for-all. So this is all written from that perspective. The biggest difference is that when you design the cube you have to look at the cube very holistically: i.e. a rock-paper-scissors matchup approach can't ever be balanced if rock is always...

So...after complaining bitterly about VMA storm in the main forum, and realizing I had never really read temporal fissure, I did a gatherer check of all of the storm cards and abruptly realized that I could actually run brain freeze as a legitimate card in this cube. Brain Freeze Dream Twist...

I think it’s more that with MMA you would have reasonable overlap with the storm cards themselves. The G/R suspend deck was a reasonable deck on its own, but suspend as a mechanic worked very well with storm and you could run a grapeshot or empty the warrens in it and it was fine. Similarly, you...

Yeah, when I saw that storm was an archetype in VM I got excited that it might actually be both viable and fun, especially after the general failure of storm in MMA draft. Sadly, they managed to make an even narrower, archetype driven format than before, where the storm cards exist on their own...

He is pretty close to being the perfect blue planeswalker for my cube ;)

These are the ones I run/have run/considered running that interact well with different graveyard strategies, whether as discard outlets, sac. targets/benefactors, reanimate effects, mill enablers, or graveyard hate doomed traveler unruly mob devout witness karmic guide reveillark adarkar...

It is in Italian, but in English I would imagine you would translate it as something like "Tyranny of the powerful". The flavor text would be translated as something like: An oath of loyalty established by a hand shake. Very cute. I have no idea why the card and flavor text are in Italian...
