    Plaid Magic 360 Counters Matter Cube

    this was bugging me so I thought I'd do some quick math! I did some sweet magiccards.info searches and identified cards that mentioned the graveyard, could be cast from it, dealt with creatures going to the graveyard, discard, and pretty much any way a card could be related to the graveyard as a...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    bloodsoaked champion i paid a hundred dollars for my sleeves, er get real blazed and write a pseudo-feature PULL UP TO THE SCENE, MY SKILL CEILING'S LIFTING @rasmus: most of them! I'm heavy into the CMC 3 or less paradigm so it's basically your pick of targets. It's a lower-powered card...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    delirious biznasty gross (and fun! do you attack with the necromancer to trigger raid? can your opponent be more efficient than your recurring 2/1 for two?) Right now I'm running 2x Champion of the Parish, 2x Bloodsoaked Champion, 1x Xathrid and 1x Mayor in 360 and they each let humans decks...

    Card/Deck Archetypes - Going Big with BR

    I think this is the right place for the following post? Has it mattered before this point? Bloodsoaked Champion Bloodsoaked Champion bloodsoaked champion is better than gravecrawler (for my cube and maybe yours too? 2x in a 360.) -i stopped at the drug store on my way home and bought some...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    I've been playing my comp. higher-powered cube with scrylands main (and now ULD, but as the first guild cycle) basically since they came out, they're almost perfect cube lands. the amount of selection they give players (as well as the brief time it takes to scry 1 vis a vis fetching and...

    Rectify, Broad City, and iZombie are also pretty great but the real answer is the Eric Andre show

    Plaid Magic 360 Counters Matter Cube

    Yeah, I tried for some midrange decks too. They seemed pretty brutal, the top-end really is crowding out your synergistic middling cards. At one point, I had the draft choice between Grave Titan, a Sword, and technically thirteen other cards. Surely that comes up enough to be irksome...

    General Terrible flavor texts

    Pacifism is a stone cold classic and i won't stand for this assault on its honour. never forget Jaya Ballard, the planeswalker we all wanted to be when we grew up: Inferno Sizzle Meteor Shower The introduction of post-lorwyn planeswalkers as the main characters in flavour text does a lot for...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    yes, and it's still a Constructed card. Pod at least only asks for a couple dudes of each cost, Vial wants you to fill your entire deck with three-drops or oops it doesn't work anymore. I'd squadron it over running multiple slots. I run three Pods and it's been fine, but I tried tripling up on...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Not selective enough to be really dangerous, and I really tried. The discard is cute but that's always the least interesting part of a Balance - I'd rather stick people back to 2-3 mana as a safety valve. FSR's experiment with curves has also been critical to Cataclysm being fun in the...

    General Modern Masters 2015

    I'm queer, so are most of my Magic-playing friends, and we're all pretty stoked that Wizards are being less chickenshit about this. They're still super reluctant to include things clearly on the actual cards but baby steps. (Daretti is an example of them doing this right, IMO) Do you not get...

    General Do finishers have to be so boring?

    Tasigur rules. I'm running all five of the tribrid khans and he's tied with Alesha in terms of impact. Basically a perfect card imo. Not really a six, though, usually 2-4.. If you want a Grave Titan replacement, I've had a great time with Massacre Wurm. Remember that the second ability is...
