    General Draft Subgames

    No, it's getting some modern and Legacy play - it beats tasigur in the mirror. Grixis delver runs a 2/1 split, for instance, and that's hardly a fringe deck.

    Blacksmithy's Cube

    my format's 'critical toughness' is two, so I think it's often cast for just X=2 or 3. It's divisible burn (ish), contribute's to green's flyer hate, and lategame it's really something fierce. Taking out their big threat, overkilling a spirit token, and doming them for six is pretty impressive...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    it's about how willing you are to run a card that's only good in a very specific type of deck and whether the payoff's worth it. if your counter decks don't do things like modular or evolve to move counters i don't know if the average case is really going to cut it even without getting into the...

    Blacksmithy's Cube

    def go aristocrat if you want to support sacrifice value decks! she's really aggressive, but olivia lets aggro or midrange decks steal their opponent's big creature, and, uh, their opponents are prob. gonna have some pretty big creatures! mostly it comes down to whether you wanna push aggro or...

    Blacksmithy's Cube

    Sure! you don't have a lot of ramp but the ramp you do have is really strong, so a spell with utility wherever you are on your curve (especially if you ramp and then flood!) seems pretty good. Of the options Defiance is i think the best/most fun, and goddamn does casting it feel good there...

    Blacksmithy's Cube

    just run BTE as a green or red creature, whichever you need more of right now - it's not really restrictive to cast like your other options are my suggestions: Clan Defiance Ojutai's Command Olivia Voldaren Voice of Resurgence Tidehollow Sculler Izzet Charm e: fun fact, olivia's name is an...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    thinking about this (e: and lucre's post!) further: interaction loosely happens when someone gets to point at two cards for the other person interaction more restrictively happens when you take an action that disrupts the opponent's line of play -supboint: the casual nature of cube means we...

    I really like the way you think about formats, Grillo!

    General Fight Club

    Mostly out of curiosity - if nobody had praise I wasn't going to test them as much. I have a pile of cards I keep meaning to try, those were the non-boring ones near the top. A sourpuss reply is just what that calls for, don't worry about it! Mystics is a solid role player in white creature...

    since i acquired a kiora/elspeth duel deck i find myself in white control a lot more, the art is basically a home run for the character and it somehow looks even better in person although tbf my colourway does rep cream and marigold

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    Make a Welder Reanimator thread, I'd be really exited! I always feel like I'm not fully using that guy. I agree that sacrifice shenanigans are the best way for most of RB to go but I've liked Dash as a "themeless theme" that can be expressed in the role-player cards I pick and not just special...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    yeah, the first alternate cost (dash) triggers the second one (raid) and that's why I've been saying that running more haste dudes has made Bloodsoaked Champion really great i will say that I run more counterspells than you guys do, as well as a bunch of instant-speed (and not-instant-speed)...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    Tried it, wasn't good enough for me but might barely be playable for you. I wouldn't run it over other options though. I think it's worth emphasizing the power of dash: I'm an aggressive deck, I have two dudes on the board at the start of my turn. My opponent has a wall of omens and a bunch...

    sharzad (safra's cube)

    aww shucks! I really like your cube! Finding my power band has been a long process but I think I'm almost there. Big Jace used to be AOT until recently. My hope is that he'll empower control strats a bit more, and give my players more practice casting brainstorm. It's all well and good to -1...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    It can get more midrange by combining with instant-speed tokens (still get the Ambuscade Shaman buff when they ETB), splashing another colour (usually GRb but often WBr). I haven't been really pushing it much, more just a few haste dudes and dash guys (ambuscade shaman is the most egregious...
