The thing I really really like about Borderland Explorer is that he's a jack of all trades - decent stats early, discard outlet / draw smoother late, fixes shaky mana. It's cool to just run him out and then see Villain discard, say, Angel of Serenity or another premium fattie, and realize 'oh...

Hey there! I also run double Pod double CoCo. Here are my {R/G} cards: Bloodbraid, D-Lord A-tarkz, Clan Defiance (fliers hate/ramp support), and a custom spin on E-Wit. I really enjoy the threaten+pod synergies and briefly ran Sarkhan Vol, who was pretty solid at my then-power level, which is...

(part 1 of 5) Better Know A Theatre - Jeskai Spells The Jeskai colours are the home of a couple interlayered archetypes which rely on lower creature counts than average. Blue and Red are the two biggest ‘sifting’ colours in the Cube, contributing to decks that care more about card selection...

Right, but She-ago defends even better as a piker with first strike. If I wanted a red roadblock with upside I'd play Crater Elemental.

I used to play as a ringer for this guy's mtgo peasant cube, and the number of decks i built full of value cards like e-wit, bloodbraid, shardless, shriekmaw, sylvan library, etc was ridiculous. Idk if it was just the playgroup or what, but i picked fixing highly and usually ended up 3-0ing or...

see also: graveyard hate, anthem, reach plan. Archetype seems centred in BWr, bleeding into G with Elf Warriors. It's always been on the edge for me and I also really like the look of this chick.

Grillo, I honestly don't know how you can say Mason is partisan in one breath and post Jordan B Peterson in the other; it is shocking to me in its flagrancy. One of them is far more the salesman than the other, and it's not the guy with a blog read by like 300 people. 12 Rules For Life is the...

Just a thought, but is it possible that Kamigawa failed for a number of reasons and Wizards of the Coast have decided to say that it was only the flavor, maybe because they look better that way? Woe is us, we were too good at it for you rubes. Jesse Mason points out sometimes that Maro is one of...

feels "very EDH" but 4/4 vigilant with upsidefor 4 is tight

I really enjoyed M13, a lot. Definitely the best core set I've drafted. I got a comment elsewhere that I overlooked 3x Kaladesh but I didn't get to play Kaladesh so sorry, you get what I know.

I had a long and interesting conversation with a non-Magic-playing friend (who plays Hearthstone) about Magic's draft formats tonight. I took a quick edit, but it's mostly chat transcript. I know, I know, but I think I got an interesting blog post out of it...

I asked him about the plant hardiness zone thing and he says it's a better descriptor of a place's climate than weather reports are. Seemed legit, didn't ask a second question about it. Vancouver is really really nice. The metro population is about a million, but there's a lot of urban sprawl...

I drafted ravnic's 500 test and came out with an IMO sweet jeskai control deck. There's something so emotionally fulfilling about slam picking Serra Angel p3p1. www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/914262[/url]"] Ones 1 Enclave Cryptologist 1 Faithless Looting 1 Firebolt 1 Force Spike 1 Harm's Way...

Phyrexian Scriptures?

One cool Illusory Angel interaction from when I briefly cubed it: t2 mox diamond, illusory angel

I love love love the mox diamond alter.

Limiting myself to cards nobody's mentioned yet. Search for Azcanta Verix Bladewing Kitesail Freebooter All three are flexible roleplayers that have deeper play to them. Search for Azcanta is a value and card filtering machine, Verix is a really flexible threat - half Thunderbreak Regent...

i wasn't gonna reply but fuck it, you're parroting jordan peterson and i can't stand for this you imply that you've been following postmodern and neo-marxist stuff for a decade but I think you're tilting at windmills, dude. Obviously I respect you and your intellect and I would hope that...

if you have money: Vancouver if you're boring and have money: Toronto if you're looking for somewhere vibrant that doesn't have extremely high rent: Montreal (it's about half English and half French and you can get by perfectly fine without French) A friend of mine recently put together an...

yeah, it's CoCoCo
