    whaaaaat that's not true. Phantasmal Image (and to a lesser extent, Phyrexian Metamorph) was the de facto best answer to Thrun for a good year or so. I know this is before the new legend rule came into effect, but it's ironic that for all the anti-blue clauses Thrun had stapled to him to enable...

    Mirage Rath themed cube

    Count me in! For the draft portion, at least.

    In the other thread, nobody even wants to cube a {2}{G} vanilla 4/4... I think big guys with drawbacks need to have some kinda evasion nowadays. See Desecration Demon, Abyssal Persecutor.

    I think it's the best Pacifism variant yet. As an aggro deck, you can slap it on an Augur of Bolas guilt-free and go to town, knowing that you can still switch it to a larger threat later.

    Card/Deck Revisiting Zombies

    If you're going to errata Kathari Screecher to be a 3/2, could you take it one step further and errata the zombie creature type onto some random bodies a carefully selected set of creatures?

    OFFICIAL HEARTHSTONE THREAD

    If not class splashing, then Hearthstone could go for some "hybrid" cards. Lots of other TCGs have figured out a way to do colour splashing using restrictions other than Magic's manabase, though, so there's no reason Hearthstone couldn't do it. New heroes that are dual-class - and have some...

    General Riptidelab mostly-custom cube attempt #1

    I don't have a single designer bone in me, so I'll strictly be observing, but this sounds really cool, anotak. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of this!

    Hearthstone needs a way to splash other colour's.. er, class's cards.

    Wait, doesn't this require burn spells played at sorcery speed before it's not just Goblin Piker...?

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    Hey... have you met this guy "Lucas"? From what I hear, he likes his blue card draw. In every archetype.

    General Worst Limited Mechanics

    Jason, I think you're being a bit overdramatic. Umara Raptor makes for a perfectly fine Wind Drake, with no other allies in your deck. Can't really say the same about about Plague Stinger.

    I don't think that's how banding works. It's the opposite: if you have three members of your band, and a) one has flying, b) another has fear, and c) the last is vanilla, a Grizzly Bears could block the whole band, by virtue of being able to block the vanilla. edit: From a judge article

    Yup, Cavern of Souls is fine in utility draft. You might not think you support human tribal in your cube, but you do!

    That's crazy talk, and you know it. I mean, everyone I know who cubes Deus of Calamity stashes it in green, alongside their Primalcrux and Khalni Hydra.

    General Fetchland Density

    There is always that tension between picking up the Watery Grave you desperately need, or the spell that would really round out your deck and fill up the hole in your mana curve. With fetches, it's a little easier, because I know that Flooded Strand, Misty Rainforest, and Bloodstained Mire all...

    This sounds like it should be a topic. Another card in that category: Skullclamp
