...goddammit, James.

Shhhh!! Everybody knows that if you mention Koth Jason will show up and talk for an hour about the time he splashed Koth in his two Mountain deck.

Yeah, I can't even get people excited about Setessan Tactics, so I don't think I want to waste a guild slot on a fight card. I like that they're printing specialized walkers like him and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, but they get awkward in cube.

I think that depends on your power level. The closer you get to power max, the more I agree, because most of the guild walkers are underwhelming compared to their monocolour peers. But take the power level down a notch or two, and many of the guild ones are fun, rewarding, and maybe most...

i'll echo Diakonov's thoughts both in that this is a really sweet cube, and that this is the cube list i cross reference the most now when making changes to my own list, now that folks like CML are less active

Fantastic post, safra! I'm also of a mind to purge the Gravecrawlers from my list entirely in favour of Bloodsoaked Champions, as I've slowly been phasing out zombies in general, meaning that often the only way to reliably recur a Gravecrawler is with an activated Mutavault. Also, how gross is...

Hmmm, I think I'm in Camp FSR on this one. Mardu Woe-Reaper, Dragon Hunter, Gnarled Scarhide, and Firedrinker Satyr aren't exactly making waves in standard, and this is the lowest powered constructed format that I can remember in years. Elite Vanguard has been bad since the day it was printed...

Yeah, I feel like Thrun is actually on the weak side, with as many good green fours as we have to choose from. Most times I think I'd rather have Obstinate Baloth in my deck in that slot, and recently Polukranos has earned his place as the top dog at four.

i agree with whoever said books 1 and 3 are good, and the Blackwater episode (season 2, episode 9) might just be my favourite episode of any TV show, ever

i love that the grumpy old curmudgeon, bumbeh, is also hipster

if we ever do another one of these, a dev made a web app for this! http://www.mtgroto.com/

sometimes i don't visit for five hours and it gets scary when i come back!

Magister of Worth is another well known Ruiner of Games, and I personally found Liliana of the Veil unfun in lower powered environments.

Is this with Myles' cube? Give us the date and time so we can tune in!

Hmmmm, I run almost all of those guys... I think you may have just sold me on Volt Charge!

If Syndic of Tithes had any keyword, e.g. first strike, we might be talking... but as is, he's pretty underwhelming. Imposing Sovereign isn't the strongest two-drop, so I can't imagine the do-nothing enchantment version is better?

That's a card I had in before, but I'm hoping for something that isn't only for tempo with this slot and is more good stuff + blink-friendly. Blade Splicer goes pretty good in control too. Hmmm, maybe I just stick with Blade Splicer here.

the lack of any playable extort cards outside of limited is the biggest waste of a mechanic in the last couple years, I feel, probably followed by the lack of a playable outlast card

Cool, thanks for the feedback! Next up, which is the best Blade Splicer downgrade that's still blinkable: Attended Knight vs. Mardu Hordechief vs. Sandsteppe Outcast vs. Master Splicer

Thunderbreak Regent vs. Stormbreath Dragon (Thundermaw Hellkite isn't in this fight, on account of being a little much in my environment)
