My completely untested probably terrible idea that I've vaguely been kicking around is to try to semi-support a "oops it's storm!" deck. There are some storm spells (Empty the Warrens) comes to mind that could conceivably be played just for value. Combine that with a higher than average number...

My problem has always been that Overrun is a card that causes you to win on the spot without warning. The guy who isn't casting Overrun thinks that they are in a commanding lead. Then they're dead. Most of the other big green finishers say "I'm going to win in a turn or two if you don't answer...

I've always liked cards that care about their own power, while not having a way on-card to boost power. It's a little heavy-handed, but it makes new players (who aren't extra-thick) think like a Johnny and I think everyone should at least try that kind of thinking before locking themselves into...

Late to the party, and someone mentioned it on page one, but Overrun is easily the best green finisher I'm currently running. To the point where I'm debating taking it out before the next play group (which is Sunday).

DRS is pushed without a doubt, but rainbow mana in black isn't historically unheard of (Vesper Ghoul). It's even been done recently! (Gild) It just usually is unreliably and/or costs something in return. Most common is life, but requiring there to be a land in the graveyard is still a cost. I...

That's definitely a good one that does a lot of good things in a weenie strategy. But its also a rare. Most of the mana sinks that you see in retail drafting is definitely more suited for midrange decks, not weenie. Think of Rix Maadi Guildmage or Skarrg Guildmage. The first one can go into a...

In retail limited I find it hard to find an acceptable mana sink for weenie strategies. In cube I'll gladly throw in a few fireball-like effects into weenie though. I just don't look for as many as I do for say a green white midrange deck.

Maybe this is just my style, but even in booster pack drafting I try to get a few mana sinks into any deck for flood insurance. Am I unusual for thinking that's critical? I think that's actually why I don't like playing weenie strategies...

Oooh, I need to add that one to a buy list. It goes well in flyers and tap-to-activate creatures...

Nevermind that other retailers also rose their prices around there. SCG is just popular to hate and people that like having an enemy will find any "evidence" they can to justify their hatred. I personally rarely, if ever, order from them anymore, but I don't think they're evil. They're just...

I was considering asking about being a spectator. I'm interested, but can't commit to playing with a 2 year old. It's far more likely that I could record spectator mode though as I used to do youtube videos and have the setup for it. I wouldn't have to be at the keyboard the entire time, so the...

Many of those are now listed in the first section. Up to 23 from a pretty low number! Thanks!

Two more possible graveyard hate cards. Both kinda expensive vs what you're already chosen, but not without reason: Reminisce Memory's Journey

Under Value Cards you're missing Wonder

Another possible blue section is control. This one has a lot more potential cards and will probably have to be cut down instead of beefed up. It has a notable complete lack of creatures or win conditions. Ones 1 Annul 1 Outwit 1 Dispel 1 Swan Song 1 Steel Sabotage 1 Blustersquall 1 Piracy...

I posted in another section before, but now I'm actually building the thing. Time to post in the Cube Lists forum! The core idea is that each color has four iterations or "pods." For instance, blue might have Permission (50% counterspells + things like upheaval, etc.), sky aggro, tappers...

My artifact section sucks, but easily the most powerful equipment I ran before a few days ago happens to be (partially) green: Mage Slayer
