    Either your games play out very differently than mine, in cube and retail limited, or you guys just dislike aggressive decks. Mistral Charger saw play even in powered cubes not long ago. In my lower powered list I'm still running it (as well as Wings of the Guard), and blue getting slightly...

    Glare was soo busted in Ravnica Limited. How does it perform in cube? How much weaker than Opposition is it?

    Card/Deck The Gruul Clans (RG)

    Burning-Tree Emmissary is a really good card. Would you really consider it a true hybrid (playable in either color) or actually more a gold card? Atarka's Command sounds good too, I'd imagine damage+pump ends a lot of games. But if I would include it, my cut would probably be Ghor-Clan...

    Card/Deck The Gruul Clans (RG)

    Gruul offers a lot to do in cube I think. When you support green aggro, Gruul becomes a great aggro pairing. When you support big red and Fireball effects, Gruul becomes a good ramp pairing. You can also do things like wildfire.dec and token strategies. But how do you capture this flexibility in...

    Okay, because it is fun I will post an example deck too. Here is actually a pretty good example why I love green as an aggro color in my list. Yes, it doesn't contribute as much as red does, but I would not like to miss these green cards here. It delivers combat tricks, which are great in aggro...

    The way you are portraing this, you seem just as biased as I am. And yes, I want green to do all this, I want every color to do as many things as I can support. Nothing sounds more boring to me to have every green deck to be ramp/midrange. So, no, you guys wont convince me to cut green aggro...

    Green aggro doesn't mean you can't play dorks and support a strong ramp theme in green though. I get that it's not everyone's favorite, but if you get to make it playable, it doesn't hurt anything in your cube. It actually makes some cards more playable, for example Mongrel/Constrictor would...

    Rootwalla is probably not good, okay, but I simply can't agree with green aggro being bad. Green shouldn't make a huge majority of your aggro deck, but it has great cards to offer if you pair it with red, white or even black. In my cube, greens 1-drops are just as good if not better than the...

    At first, thanks for all the input guys! I think I will order a copy of the not exactly expensive Rootwalla the next time and give it a test run. Maybe it will surprise me. My hope was to have it as a pseudo-evasive 1-drop first and then pump it for the later attacks. In case I don't have Wild...

    Yeah, Emeria Angel is sweet. She's playable everywhere and supports tokens and skies decks really well. As long as she fits your power level, I would recommend her for sure. Prowler is a little too much for what I want my aggro 1-drops to do. I also would have to cut Jungle Lion and Wild Dogs...

    Black and green are my secondary aggro colors, both come with 6 One-Drops, that are playable in such a deck. In Green I'm running Jungle Lion, Wild Dogs, Young Wolf, Scythe Leopard, Wolfbitten Captive and currently this guy: Pouncing Jaguar But I'm not super happy with him, as he is best...

    Even with such a minor spirit theme, I feel like both, Screech and Devotion are better cards than Midnight Haunting on a pure power level ... level. That card was pretty weak when I tested it. This would certainly change with heavier tribal support though.

    I run Battle Screech in my lower powered list, and it is strong but absolutely fine there. I think the evasion makes Battle Screech also a little better than Devotion. You could obviously run both, but white has so many good token producers, it is pretty hard to include them all if you want...

    I was always on the edge for Debtor's Knell. Never got my hands on a copy, but next time I order some singles, I will add a copy. Does anyone cube with this? Gerrard's Verdict

    Card/Deck The Orzhov Syndicate (WB)

    Orzhov is an interesting guild. You can build WB decks in all styles easily, from heavy aggro to super defensive control. But when it comes to real themes, I feel like white and black have little in common. How does this effect the gold section. What are you running in your Orzhov sections...

    Card/Deck The Simic Combine (GU)

    I'm fine with cards being vulnerable. I'm more in fear of the things it can do in a BCS, ramping it out with multiple other 4+ drops in hand. It seems sketchy for tight high power lists, but in a fair environment it could be, well, unfair maybe :p Just a guess, I probably have to see her in action

    Card/Deck The Simic Combine (GU)

    I can confirm that Snakeform is good. But I slot gold and hybrid cards seperately, and when I weht down to 1 hybrid per guild, I cut it instead of Spitting Image without much thinking. In which decks is Prophet of Kruphix at it's best? Midrange with Counterspells? Ramp with mana sinks?

    One of my all-time favorite mana sinks hasn't been mentioned yet. So I'll just leave this here ... Sprout Swarm
