Yeah, this is where the recent Wizards philosophy of "limited gold cards should be build-arounds that pull you into those colours, rather than just efficient value cards" has gotten ahold of me. Hero's Downfall does a fine stand-in for Dreadbore, but it's harder to find a Grenzo in mono-red or...

The thing with having a heavy concentration of Vivids and Pools is that it encourages you to play all five colours - why stop at three? A lot of our cubes on here already encourage and reward three-colour decks, what with their heavy density of fetchs, duals, and shocks. To be sure, the decks...

Count me as a fan of Sphinx of Lost Truths. Cards with multiple modes, where each mode is costed efficiently, are usually pretty sweet, and he gives you a big butt that works well on either offence or defence. Digging three deep and filling up your graveyard both lead to fun shenanigans, too...

Filter lands don't address the problem of supporting a multicolour format, though. Again, they're at their best in strictly two-colour decks. Vivids, now, though. Or even tri-lands!

I've done something similar (2x fetches, 2x shocks, 1x wwk manlands, 1x enemy filters), and found the filter lands surprisingly underwhelming. Part of the problem is that filter lands can be awkward in anything other than strict two-colour decks, because of the requirement to put a coloured mana...

Agreed, that art is absolutely gorgeous.

Yeah, big fan of that rhino! Draining on entering the battlefield is deceptively powerful.

Uh, please don't do that, either. That'll probably get us a big ol' warning for click fraud.

OH GREAT JUST BLOCK ALL OUR ADS WHY DON'T YOU JONAS Yeah, you'd have to whitelist us on both of those add-ons. But again, please let me emphasize I don't want to force anyone to do so. If you're uncomfortable with large, scrolling flash ad banners, by all means continue to block them. We're...

Whatever urban legends you may have heard, you can set them aside and rest assured that advertising does indeed help us recoup our costs. At our current trajectory, we'll be out of the red in the foreseeable future! When it comes down to it, there are really only two ways to go about recouping...

The big turtle seems like a much worse version of this guy Spectral Force I mean, it's flavourful, I guess - big slow lumbering tortoise. But, c'mon.

I've already been running Wooded Foothills and friends for the past year and a half, actually. See, I knew they were bound for Modern someday - the format of my cube has been "Future Modern" all along. This is not better than Aetherling, right?

To continue the stream of thought from the other thread... what would be best as the cycle of control-friendly fixing in the utility pile? <Bounceland of choice> <Temple of choice> <Tri-land of choice>

Yeah, Shards of Alara wasn't great for cube either, and if the breakdown of this set by colour is anything similar, we probably shouldn't be too optimistic. Luckily it's just a wedge set and not a whole block

I was just thinking the same thing as I looked over the beautiful wedge tri-land artwork this morning. Would that be too good, though?

I think Stoke the Flames is good because it's a four damage spell, and ones that go to the face aren't all that common. Cubeable ones include Char and Flame Javelin, but I actually like Stoke more than either of those.

Add to cube on top of Zealous Conscripts, in place of it, or pass altogether?

That we should enact our Magic games using live action spells?

I wonder if you just solved the problem of why control decks are struggling in my environment. I know that none of the slower decks last night could hold a candle to burn + superfriends.

Is Treetop Village just better than Stirring Wildwood, most of the time? I know it doesn't provide the fixing, but being only :1::g: to activate is important. I figure Treetop and Gavony Township might be enough green goodies for the utility draft.
