I cut reanimator. The slots spent on big guys and reanimation spells were numerous. I also wasn't a big fan of the play pattern. Pray to discard/mill an uncastable card to the graveyard, then pray you have the 4-5 mana sorcery in your hand to exploit it. If you do AND they don't have the...

Hearing that you made it for beginners or unfamiliar players really solidifies the choice. I've been torn lately between my current design and something more beginner friendly. I've considered X Masters cubes, where it would be based on X set/block but expanded with more recent cards. Maybe...

I was happy to have the 4/4 reach in my sideboard, but also got 2 Hermits. I think that has to be a product of the bots sucking. Or some luck could make it happen in a real draft.

If it tapped for B or was the GB tapmanland, I'd run it. That's a serious man attached to that land.

Gave it three drafts. Had to read some cards because I am not too familiar with Urza's draft chaff lol. Some weird designs in that block, for sure. A lot of great ones, as well. Left some comments on each deck.

Let's chat if you're eyeing BGw. Do you have a CubeCobra or just the doc in the OP?

Link me your cubes if you feel like you run a successful Gx +1/+1 counters deck so I can look at it. Not sure what kind of densities I'm looking for.

You may want to add that posts with content are less likely to score highly on the scale than a blatant shitpost.

Busted?: tolarian academy gaea's cradle serra's sanctum metalworker replenish memory jar grim monolith time spiral etc CubeCobra is the way to go. It's a hassle at first, but then you can spend all day staring at your list while thinking it's not good enough, so that's a big plus.[/ci]

ALL Urza's block? Is it simultaneously low powered and super busted? Get that cube link in your signature for us!

I run them, but I have more room for fun lands. I can remember a game where a giant Lavaclaw ended it in a swing or two after a long battle. Quagmire is a cool 'removal spell.' Vent is decent attacking or blocking, but a little weak. I don't own Tar Pit, as it was kind of expensive for a while...

Not gonna lie, squirrelmax sounds super appealing. Big fan of Earl of Squirrel.

I'd agree that it's not usually worth a multicolor slot for a reanimator target. I'm a fan of going colorless so that ramp, reanimator, sneak, or whatever else can share the same pool of cards that most decks aren't interested in. I keep most of mine in black, which is practically the same as...

I was eyeing Arena the other day for being a little slow and was gonna ask my fellow Zur Gang member about it. It's still got the devotion angle for me, but... I've just got better draw options. I have a few cards I don't run due to this consideration. Everyone using the exact same sleeves...

What's the purpose of the slot? I'm not thrilled about monocolored lands with drawbacks. Something like Castle Garenbrig could be a cool green land. The two color manlands are great because the cost of coming in tapped gets you some fixing, as well. Not super hot on either, but Treetop does...

Feels like Phyrexian Arena will usually be better. Arena guarantees the card every turn. Arena can't mix up players cards. Arena costs a life, but you're likely losing some life if the opponent is attacking, anyways. Your mana base is plenty good enough to support the BB, and Arena reads a lot...

RW could be made to have blink be more significant. japahn's suggestion of Twilight Shepherd seems sweet as hell. Flashing that in and persisting it back sounds so fun. RB can use the same creatures to Sneak as it would to reanimate. You can also shift a lot of your big creatures to be...

What about an edit of Riptide Crab physically pinching pennies?

You can kind of use Sneak as a weird discard outlet. Don't forget you can blink the guy to keep it, too. It's got a lot of play to it and can be neutered or buffed depending on the format's available targets. That said, your format may suffer too severe of a neuter or buff, depending what else...

I didn't read any nerd math yet, but I think this nearly sums up the concept. More cards means more choices. That's more skill testing and will improve card quality, but also more time consuming. As a result, the "right" answer will depend on your playgroup. If your mates know every card and...
