    There's also Raven Guild Master if we're just throwing out spurious comparisons

    General What build arounds do you run?

    Here's the post in question: http://www.magicmadhouse.co.uk/articles/2014/12/under-the-hood-running-the-show/ Looking over it again, it seems pretty poisonous, but I think there's probably a way to avoid that (mystic speculation, walls and mindshrieker might come in handy). Rather than being an...

    yo Lucre what are your thoughts on Toshiro Umezawa e: i love him but am worried because none of my drafters seem to. he's so much value though! casting doom blade to mana leak is exactly where i want to be in magic

    intuition for loam, stage, depths will always be one of Legacy's sicker plays Is this another one of those dark confidant scenarios where its strength is proportional to your cube's? I'm super stoked to find out, regardless!

    General What build arounds do you run?

    If you axe me, this is just another 'bundle of sticks' prescriptivism fiasco waiting to happen. I'm really liking Jeskai Ascendancy so far (just one play session with it though!) - insofar as it combos with anything, it combos with creatures and spells. If you have both in your deck you'll be...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    yeah, Exhume is pushing it. It's a strong card and I wanted someone to break the symmetry (which they then promptly did). I think fast reanimator should be possible but require synergy. A week or two ago my roommate pulled off t1 Faithless Looting t2 Exhume, bringing back Precursor Golem. That's...

    Magus of the Bazaar Good? Does the card disadvantage pose too much of an issue vis-a-vis merfolk looter? I'd love to run this guy but if he's awful I won't. My cube has a few ways to use the graveyard as play space. VVV I think Attunement does more for me, thanks!

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    A month or two ago I cut all my 3-mana+ reanimation spells, then added in the new suite of Unearth, Life // Death, Exhume and Feldon of the Third Path (plus Alesha and 'llark). It's been awesome, and now that reanimation is more value-based it's been sitting pretty comfortably for me and mine...

    my god why would you run lightning angel over one-card-archetype Jeskai Ascendancy this is a really sweet idea though gonna try it for sure / report back, might make three-colour cards easier to splash

    right, sorry, a situational four-mana 3/3 besides gain 4 / draw a card i don't think there's a pair of choices i want less on a good, powerful card e: maybe i'm not being very clear - Ojutai's Command is a good card and will probably be lots of fun! but idk there's just so many things that...

    Rasmus Riptide Cube (360 Unpowered)

    I actually really like Hero of Oxid Ridge for wide red four-drop over Hellrider, it's a really solid roleplayer that isn't as curve-warping (and it makes more 40s than a frat house with a molecular printer) Kessig Cagebreakers for Acidic Slime seems tenuous, why not find room for both? they're...

    n64 smash at 50% damage is where it's at. bizarre slugfests with really powerful grab/throw interactions

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    I like promos and alt-arts a lot so I end up with a miscellaneous bunch of foils. I'm not interested in foiling out my cube but I enjoy being able to play with the card arts I like the most. I think the aesthetic of a promo Mulldrifter is way sweeter than the Modern Masters uncommon i might...

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    This is a couple of questions so I hope you don't mind my attempting to parse and then answer them individually. -Is adding the ULD worth it? -How can I make it worth it? -Does it lead to richer deckbuilding? -Special draft for sideboard cards? -I think it's absolutely worth it. There is a...

    Card/Deck Vamps

    including undraftable cards is a good solution to the problem of too many undraftable cards e: to be fair he also calls a control/combo black section "a plausible direction to try" but then also says black aggro is the biggest challenge in cube design, aha dang dude have you tested gravecrawlers
