But that's... that's what I... it's no good if I can't... All I want to do is cast T1 Deus once, and then scrap the archetype entirely. Too much to ask? Another thought: Monsters, RAWR Polis Crusher Ember Swallower Stoneshock Giant Stormbreath Dragon Nessian Asp Ravenous Leucrocota Arbor...

His play pattern feels like it might be similar to Sarkhan the Mad, but without requiring you to put in the token effort of laying down some bodies first. At the same time, he feels more interesting than Bloodgift Demon, who looks great on paper but has never really impressed in reality. Who...

Yeah, same. It hasn't caught on at all here, because I'm not overloading on the ETB persist guys like Kitchen Finks or Shriekmaw. I started off with three, but when I drafted a decent GU midrange shell for Pods and found I still didn't want to maindeck any, I started becoming a little skeptical...

I moved your post to the right thread. Did you read that auto-generated cubetutor change list to the end? I just changed the counterspell list around - there should be the same total number as before. The issue is that the quartet of Rune Snags were really underperforming, so despite being a...

Thanks for the the suggestions, Grillo. Yeah, I'm expecting that players will splash for a third colour somewhat regularly, because of the abundant fixing I plan to supply, so I'm hoping that a lot of cards that are useful to one strategy can seamlessly work their way into another, and act as a...

A co-worker of mine has thought about creating his own cube that would essentially consist of his favourite limited archetypes from over the years. He hasn't actually gotten around to doing it, though, so I've started brainstorming ideas for a second cube of my own. Following Wizard's recent...

No, I do run white-bordered Volcanic Hammer. It's one of the ugliest cards in my cube, but it's also one of the things my cube is known for at this point. So I might as well leave that talking point as it is - it's getting attention!

Meanwhile over here, all of my Onslaught fetches are proxies! The only foil I used to run was a Torch Fiend that a guy donated to my cube, but I cut that bugger a while ago. I will say that I enjoy the look and feel of a sweet tricked-out cube, but personally I just grab the cheapest non-ugly...

yeah, thumbs down to Genesis Hydra Terastodon is pretty awesome, alongside Craterhoof i don't generally like Eldrazi unless you have a strong colourless ramp theme (i.e. Grim Monolith)

Eh, I feel like the people complaining about the pack price are barking up the wrong tree. Other than on release day, you couldn't find Modern Masters packs anywhere for the MSRP of $6 a pop. Within a week or two, retailers were selling them for $10, and often more, so they're just reflecting...

Rafiq is a great suggestion! i had him in my cube once upon a time, but back then, bant aggro was a trap (that one unfortunate player kept falling into, over and over). now that the deck is a real thing... i should try him again. on that note, would this possibly be better than Rafiq? i only...

i was just thinking of throwing in a small batch of tri-colour cards without any explicit support Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker Siege Rhino Butcher of the Horde Sidisi, Brood Tyrant

the set goes up to New Phyrexia, meaning the two additional blocks over last time are Zendikar and Scars, along with M10 and M11 (please god no Baneslayer Angel) and yes, the only two confirmed cards so far are Emrakul and Etched Champion. it's in the video in the mothership article

anyone else irrationally excited about Modern Masters 2? despite being confirmed to be all reprints, and Etched Champion pointing to a poison principle-y affinity/metalcraft archetype again, i am still super stoked

Alright, sold. As someone who ran Kraken Hatchling a few lifetimes ago, and has been looking for a good black defensive creature in forever, I think we may finally have a card that fits the bill.

I'd argue that poisonous might not be the right description for Delver. Unlike, say, affinity, dredge, or infect, Delver doesn't represent a linear mechanic that requires you to draft a critical mass of cards with a particular keyword before any of them are effective, nor is there a large swath...

You probably know my answer here already - three! I feel like he's not worth building around unless you have a reasonable chance of drawing one in your opener, and with three in the pool, hopefully the U/R Delver player can nab at least two. Not coincidentally, three is also the number of...

Disowned Ancestor

they're a little on the low-powered side, but you could consider travel preparations, selesnya guildmage, or sunblade elf. then there's wilt-leaf liege for straight-up crusade effects

There was an old thread on here, might be worth taking a peek at. http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/kill-it-with-fire-lets-talk-removal.616/
