Oh, oops, I didn't mean the actual signets with my throwaway comment there - I was just invoking the colloquial term that's sometimes used to refer to two-mana, colourless mana rocks. I think you should definitely continue your trajectory with Mind Stones, Prismatic Lens, and the like - in my...

Wait, is someone talking mess about Yasova Dragonclaw? She's been possibly the best performing Gruul card in my cube, and is everything I ever wanted Sarkhan Vol to be. I actually think most of the Gruul staples, like Bloodbraid Elf and Huntmaster of the Fells, are overrated in cube, but Yasova...

Ok, I'm all caught up! I really like the selective singleton-breaking you've done here. I think most people feel that cube isn't really "cube" unless it's mostly singleton, and carefully curating the selection of cards to double and triple up on is what gives a particular format its texture...

I'm only a quarter of the way into reading your initial post, but before you go spend a bunch of money and/or make a bunch of proxies, I'm gonna go out and recommend double fetch, triple shock, rather than the other way around! The reason is that fetches are fairly flexible, in that your UW deck...

Having been out of Hearthstone for a while now, is this because there are that many more removal spells there than in Magic, or is it because every combat is a "fight" (e.g. you choose the attacker and the blocker)? As a Magic player, I always hated how being the attacker felt like you were at...

Counting tempo removal as half a removal spell, and including mass removal as well as creatures and planewalkers that perform double duty as removal (Skinrender, Dragonlord Silumgar, Garruk Relentless), mine is 2.85. But it seems like the exact definition of 'removal' might differ from person to...

yes

I would contest that Elspeth is "easily handled" - starting at five loyalty and being able to make one blocker a turn while steadily ticking upwards actually makes her one of the hardest planeswalkers to peel off the table, even when compared to her peers at five and six mana. The fact that...

Even in my list that has more graveyard shenanigans going than the average cube, Ravings never did what you wanted. Reanimator? Whoops, sorry, discarded your Makeshift Mannequin instead of your Woodfall Primus. There are plenty of reliable ways to loot, and plenty of other good ways to draw...

I used to run that, but it didn't really do what I wanted; the random discard could be brutal. I'm now much happier with Think Twice

Repping the double fetches and double shocks - GO LUCAS! For his fixing situation, I don't see why Myles can't just run gainlands, guildgates, and Invasion duals and call it a day, though. I assume that the cube is a turn or two slower than the typical non-budget cube, and an aggro deck would...

i think this is the guy you're looking for Gurmag Angler he is the real deal!

Silverblade Paladin is the only guy I'd feel comfortable running without any supporting themes, as a 2/2 double striker for three that effectively gives a "haste" double strike aura to another creature is a sweet deal. He's fragile, so you can get blown out pretty hard with instant-speed...

this just in: Assemble the Legion is bonkers bananas in low-power cubes! news at eleven. congrats on your second win in a row - let us know when the videos go up! i really enjoy Myles' videos, as well as his enthusiastic commentary.

Haven't we learned that all forum arguments need to be about hyperbole, over-the-top scenarios, magical christmasland, and sweet corner cases that almost never come up but need a judge ruling when they do?!

Sorry to butt in on this quality thread like this, but safra, I wanted to bug you about the curious choice of Clan Defiance, which I noticed in your list from before. It seems like a really sweet top-end Gruul ramp card, and you've got me seriously considering it. Is there an overlap between it...

I completely forgot about that guy! I agree that Ob Nixilis basically does what you want Sarkhan the Mad to do, but better in just about every way. My only concern is that he's the definition of a boring, good stuff, value guy - I feel like the other viable black fives are all more interesting...

Xenagos, the Reveler vs Xenagos, God of Revels from the other thread, i got to thinking that i need to revel, i'm just not sure how

I think Sarkhan the Mad is great in theory, and mediocre at best in practice. While he fits well into the RB sacrifice deck, there are any number of five drops that do the job just as well, or arguably better, and those finishers also slot into several other archetypes well. Hmmm, I think I...
