    General 1-Drop Aggro vs. 2-Drop Aggro

    Oh yeah, I'm all for themed aggro decks. There was a time, where I just slammed aggressive one- and two-drops in almost every color, blocking up space while playing similar in all color combinations. Boring. I think, even if you don't move away from using 1-drops, having aggro decks with themes...

    Okay guys, I need a hit. I'm looking for the best aggressive 3-drop(s) green has to offer. They should be really tempting you to play aggro and not jsut by being a 3/3 for three with some minor, non-aggressive upside. The best I can think of really is this guy here: Hungry Spriggan Dying to...

    General 1-Drop Aggro vs. 2-Drop Aggro

    I totally agree with everything you said, and I handle the topic similarily to you, I think. I was mostly just wondering, if moving aggro starts into turn two can have some advantages for that deck (not for the cube environment and it's health, but the power level of aggro), maybe because you'd...

    General 1-Drop Aggro vs. 2-Drop Aggro

    Back duringvmy mtg salvation times I got teached that aggro always needs to start witz a 1-drop to be competitive. And while I lowered the power level of my aggro dudes to fit my overall environment, I always stuck to that premise. But here in these boards I often heard about "2-drop aggro" ...

    In addition to Fountain of Ichor, I want one other cc3 mana rock. It should fix all 5 colors and have a bonus effect, but be cheaper than Coalition Relic and Chromatic Lantern. Vessel of Endless Rest Mana Geode Spinning Wheel Heraldic Banner Vessel has it's uses against several graveyard...

    Sets (ELD) Throne of Eldraine Testing and Includes thread.

    I know, kinda late to the party, but recently I finally got around for 2 drafts again and I have to say I'm very happy with my inclusions from what I've seen so far, especially the Adventure creatures. Order of Midnight and Hypnotic Sprite habe been super sweet versions of staple effects with...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    How realistic is it to expect drafters to build around this card? Door to Nothingness Without a specific support but in a cube with solid fixing in form of nonbasic lands, mana rocks and green ramp. I think it was in the core set cube on mtgo, but sometimes weird stuff is in these cubes.

    General The Draft Exchange

    Draftes Nanonox'cube. First pack I started with cheap Karn into dark Daretti, trying to set up for a value artifact deck. I also got some fixing already setting me up for 3 or more colors. Also picked up Goblin Welder for cheats. Pack 2 gave me some more cheap artifacts (Ex' capsule and second...

    But Blast from the Past is a 3 for 1 usually, Jet and Firebolt can't offer you that. You usually use Cycling with Madness and then flash it back for four mana soon. But all modes are relevant, even the buyback for a late game top deck duel.

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    My wet dream of a burn spell is probably the so far unmentioned: Blast from the Past It has a high complexity and adds a bunch of decisions, even some stupid synergies with itself (cycling with madness), but this is exactly my jam to be honest. It also has hunor, old frame and is a payoff for...

    Did anyone test Pharika's Libation yet? I really like the idea to give enchantment removal to a third color, and this is the best thing we have so far, right?

    General "Looking for a card"-Thread

    I am looking for a cool azorius card that makes {W} a tenpting splash for a {U} or more often {U}{B} control deck. I thought of Drogskol Reaver, but so far couldn't get a copy and I was wondering if I couldn't find something better and/or cheaper.

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond testing/includes thread

    After a great core set and the incredible Eldrain, Theros 2 is a bit of a flop for me. But that is okay, gives me time to analyze all the new 2019 cards and by now it has become super difficult to get into my cube for new cards that don't fulfill very specific needs, like being the 3rd Wild...

    General Fight Club

    Whisperer seems much more fair, which is a plus for me, but still great in the right deck and far from narrow. Sovereign looks more crazy, but it is also more pushed. If that fits yourpower level I'd vote for the fancier card.

    Yeah, I just added a copy to my order. Thanks guys for helping me convincing myself.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Occultist is roch solid, I'm definitely not cutting it for the Ravager. It's a 3-drop playable in any remotely aggressive red deck, but also has a cheap madness cost, making it just the right mix of generally playable and archetype-supporting.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Well, Anje's Ravager has several upsides over the phoenix for this deck: - it costs only one red mana, really nice for a two-colored aggro deck. - it's cheaper to cast when discarded and doesn't need a full graveyard for coming back early. - it's less of a value, goodstuff card but a synergistic...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Anje's Ravager Would this card be okay in a lower powerd cube like mine? It seems like it could go crazy sometime, but maybe the drawbacks are enough to make it fair. Being an enabler and a payoff for madness aggro is a big deal, and te deck could use a slightly pushed 3-drop.

    Sets [THB] Theros Beyond Death *SPOILER*

    He would be fitting, but he's sadly a bit too pushed for my cube, I feel like. I was thinking over these: But the Spider just isn't an aggro card and I don't think it can compete (in that particular deck) with something middling even like Mother Bear. The hound could fit well, but it just...
