I hate that card. It is ridiculously pushed and includes a lot of luck, and if you have it (hexproof immediately) it becomes the worst kind of GRBS.

Yeah, but it is home in a tribe that every color in every cube has, not to mention the many colorless cards. That's much broader than humans even.

The same is true for non-tribal effects. In the other thread, Japahn was worried, that his playgroup might expect a enchantment theme when he slots in Stone Haven Pilgrim as a (great) artifact payoff. I recommended playing it anyways, as he has quite a few enchantments in white and it is pure...

Sure, that's true. But maybe others can take this as a motivation to do the same, instead of denying a great cube addition. Ask a handful of players with different experience levels what they'd think because of that card. Noone can guarantee, that Champion of Dusk will never mislead a drafter...

I don't think the Vinecrasher is that strong. I'd test it and I'm pretty low in power level. Also, what about these creeps? Masked Admirers

Gallia is a great example why I think mis-signaling isn't that big of a deal. When I realised she was just the {R/G} Madness lord I was waiting for, I slam dunked her into my cube. But I was also worrying. Most of my players were newbies after all. Would they read the line about Satyrs and be...

Then I think it comes down how green is playing in Nanonox' cube. Is it a "typical" green play style most often or is the instant speed playstyle supported well enough , that the big wolf works without being a functional simic card?

In general, I feel like people are overvaluing the "wrong signaling" from cards like these. It's just a feeling, but I'd say most experienced players would be able to understand that a Champion of Dusk doesn't necessarily mean there is a full blown vampire tribal archetype and to adequatly draft...

About Stone Haven Pilgrim Yes, the enchantment text is pure upside. You will have some enchantments anyway, considering that most white removal spells are enchantments. And it synergizes so nicely with the Dawn of Hope you're running in you're core cube!

Stone Haven Pilgrim Starnheim Courser Trusty Retriever Enlightened Tutor These are my non-equipment-specific artifact payoffs in mono white. I'm very happy with all of them. Well, of courser I haven't tested the pegasus yet, but the other three are awesome.

I wish they would start the spoiler season for the timeshifted sheet now and just reveal one card every day. Makes me happy just looking at it.

I wouldn't call the Blade borderline at lower power. It's a bear with a long list of upsides and syngeries.

He's fine, but a little bit narrow as he doesn't really generate value for other decks that easily. I cut him for the moment. That card is great. Dealing 6 is just a nice "saboteur trigger" and you really need no support for it beyond "black can do aggro you know", but of course he gets...

I'm not saying it should be stronger, but I'm a bit sad that you can't sac it before it attacked and connected. Doesn't help you sticking your hasty curve topper or an anthem effect pre combat :p I think I'll go with the Thopter and Flayer Husk for the Equipment theme

I am going to test at least Rune of Sustenance and Rune of Mortality, as I think lifelink and deathtouch are really nice abilities to grant and I have an equipment theme. the green one looks really strong too, but green hasn't much to do with equipment in my cube. The blue one just compares...

Now let's talk about colorless 1-drops. They are awesome because they go into aggro decks of all colors, maybe even some other decks as well. I currently have these three: Gingerbrute Vault Skirge Signal Pest A colorless Tin Street Dodger, a colorless Healer's Hawk and a colorless Oriflame...

Well, I would count Dauntless Dourbark. I a mono green deck he is at least a 5/5 for 4 and growing for sure. He probably like being alongside a few treefolk, and the more of these you run, the less forests you need.

How is Scion of Oona decent on it's own? It is a 3 mana 1/1 flier with flash, that's ... bad. That card is like the opposite of what this thread is about :P

I have a lot of nostalgia for this card. And still seems strong if you're not fighting aggro. Anyone ever played the card? Archivist

Which of these two cmc 4 beaters do you like more? One has synergy with madness mostly, the other with landfall. Both seem to be just really good aggro curve toppers Avaricious Dragon Embodiment of Fury
