    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Oh woah, yes, I would definitely be interested in that. I think it would be best as 5 colours, with an even higher percentage of lands than I'm already running (the ten dual creaturelands would be a snap include) and a bunch of {R}{R} or {W}{U}{B} (etc) spells to emphasize staying in your...

    when you're developing a combo strategy you've gotta balance sweetness and 'cheese' imo, where 'cheese' is defined as the feeling of a cheap win, one that renders earlier decisions meaningless. Making the Ninjutsu cost take up most of if not a whole turn lets the combo kill feel 'special' and...

    Safra vs Chris K: Non-W Sharzad Grid Draft

    Okay, two VODs of a pair of matches. The first match Chris wins 2-1, and I make the stupidest play I've made in months (equipping my Phantasmal Image'd Catacomb Sifter, sacrificing the Scion to get the mana to do so - around 13:45). Chris is very understanding, but a minute later DJ Khaled...

    I like a higher density of fetches than fetchables if I want my colours fixed early, and more duals than fetches if I plan to go into the long game (to keep hitting land drops mostly). Usually I want more fetches than duals though since every B/x fetch is your black dual land if you need it to...

    An Addendum to the Spotter's Guide: safra Equinox Does she even play Magic? Allegedly my cube is about Legacy-style intricate play but I think it might actually be a juvenile fixation with counterspells allowed free reign. (quick, what's the difference between Legacy and onanism? About 2k...

    Yes to all four listed. Ascendancy is the easiest combo engine ever, Whip is slow but great, Outpost Siege actually has two good modes believe it or not, and Leap is amazing with tokens. The thing about Demonic Pact that I liked was targeting it with Flickerwisp. None of this wasting your own...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    Did a shaky grid draft with Dom, here's the decks. I lost a bunch. I didn't get enough lands but lucked out on consistency anyway with like 7 basics. The games were usually me getting off to slow starts and failing to come back from Pia and Kiran + Karakas or Whirler Rogue shenanigans. I...

    Safra vs Kirblinx: 5C Sharzad Grid Draft No. 2

    He's a cool dude, albeit not really alone. What I like is that he's a pivot point between going wide and going tall, a creature-based sac outlet for combo, and sometimes he's just really hard to kill. Unfortunately, he's a bit slow, and I couldn't do anything with him those games, holding onto...

    Safra vs Kirblinx: 5C Sharzad Grid Draft No. 2

    I went 1-2 in a 3-game series against Kirbilinx. He built this absolutely brutal Painful Truths mono-red manland machine, and I just wasn't fast enough to keep up. Here's my deck and the VOD: http://www.twitch.tv/chai_tea_latte/v/37722012
