I still don't understand how this works but since I'm trying to reduce the number of double-sided cards in my cube it's not like it would affect me much!

So, what is the most powerful threaten effect in red beyond Zealous Conscripts? I'm looking to give my Aristocrat decks a bit of a push Claim the First Born Kari Zev's Expertise Wrangle

Ok I'm going to start with these three cards: Foundation Breaker Upheaval Vessel of Nascency And add more tomorrow or the next few days.

I made a small syntax mistake and half of my post didn't show up! Oh no! I fixed it, though. I've been tempted to squaddron a few cards or use similar methods but so far I'm resisting. It adds another "rule" to the cube and my drafters aren't very expeienced. Thanks for all the suggestions...

It's too slow to grow in a fair deck and it doesn't grow big enough. Goyf isn't spectacular in cube and one could argue it's no longer a star in the era of FIRE designs. But what makes it good is that it can easily become a 4/5 and wall an incoming horde. Runaway Steam-Kin can't gain that...

You are right than just any broad removal spell can do the trick. Right now I run the following: Unexpectedly Absent Prismatic Ending Oblivion Ring Elspeth Conquers Death That's quite a few options so perhaps white doesn't need the slot. So that leaves me with 1 free white slot plus a...

They recently renewed the IP for Netrunner or something of the sort. -- Regarding Kamigawa, I think you guys are too harsh on it. Here's how I see it. First, Champions of Kamigawa is great. It really is. It had a lot of interesting, unique and fun designs like Gifts Ungiven, Heartbeat of...

Tendrils of Agony Mind's Desire It's combo mechanic and, hence, inherently uninteractive. And yet I think it's the most interesting combo archetype in the game because it's the only one where the "solution" is different each time. It's clever, fun and you often have to these these strange lines...

Ok, time to make some more improvements. First, a bunch of poor performers: Xathrid Necromancer Yawgmoth's Will Lash of Malice Crater Hellion Staggershock Commit // Memory Trinket Mage God-Pharaoh's Gift Living Twister Mystic Snake There are more, like Scroll Rack, but I don't have the heart...

I also cut Feldon. He's just too vulnerable for such a demanding card. You need to draft big creatures, fill the graveyard with them and pay a minimun of six mana to get your Corpse Dance effect. If he gets blown up or things don't line up, you are in an awful position. It's kind of like playing...

Not being able to interact with a whole card type is poor design. I think colours can have weakness but not being able to interact is not far off from not being able to draw cards. It should be a basic effect, not a weakness. Either way, it's not a huge problem if you keep it in mind or your...

For me the biggest fear is it getting into play on turn 3 via Tinker. You can reanimate it faster but I'm much less scared of Reanimator as an archetype, it's far more vulnerable. I was actually thinking of replacing Triniform with it so that's actually a point in its favour. It hits a bit too...

Myr Battlesphere How powerful is this when played fairly? And is it too dumb if I have Tinker in my cube? Tinker will hit on turn three but I know it's one of the best targets in the MTGO Vintage Cube.

I read your post about running an artifact theme in your cube so I decided to give it a try. I'm not sure what you have in mind but so far it seems you are going overboard and trying to force it when just a few cards would do. Even when going the Mirrodin route, I think you can do it without as...

I run an artifact theme in my cube but the cube as a whole is not about artifacts. I think you only need a handful of payoffs and then simply replacing a few spells by spellbombs, artifact creatures and so on. That said, I'm increasinly artifacting my cube, though.

I play WB Yorion with both Demonic Pact and Treacherous Blessing. It's a cool deck but it's extremely reliant on actually having Yorion on every game to get massive card advantage. Without it, I'm not sure Treacherous Blessing would be much better than more normal black draw. You can eat it with...

You forgot about Fortine. Aren't you excited about it? It looks so fun! Can't wait for Marvel and The Simpsons to make it into the game.

They saw there's a bunch of these "old template planeswalker" templates online and they decided to make some of them themselves.

I think there are some really cool designs here. In fact, some of them have been released as real cards now. I can imagine a few will make it as digital-only cards or with slight changes. I like: Wrath of Sod Form of the Mulldrifter Innocuous Insect Growth Charm Waste Land
