Charmbreaker Devils I really, really want to love this guy, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't cut the mustard in my environment. What would a playable but not broken version look like?

Yeah, it's weird. Augury Owl was passable in M11 limited, but was never a serious consideration for any other format. Meanwhile, Elvish Visionary is obviously an Elves! card, but I was also happy to have him in my Nest Invader/Kozilek's Predator/Eldrazi Monument Standard deck, too, because he...

Also not exactly alike, but Augur of Bolas Omenspeaker

And what decks would want Liliana of the Dark Realms? You'd have to show me a couple of sample decklists to convince me that this is an actual card. Because I've played with it, and it isn't. While my cube list might seem to stand in stark contrast to what I'm about to say, I'm actually loathe...

I'm fairly certain that in the alternate universe where planeswalkers are never invented, Foresee is my favourite card. Scry 4 is a big game. On scry 3; for your consideration. Which of these do you prefer? Elvish Visionary Augury Owl

wait what thread am i in no, this is the right thread

Nah, Nighthawk over Liliana of the Veil is objectively wrong in my cube list, unless perhaps it's in pack three, and your deck has specific needs. But I agree that Nighthawk might be up there as one of the top five black cards! Liliana of the Dark Realms? She's.. really bad. I've tried her...

two weeks ago my dog left a turd by the foot of our bed at 3:30 am actually make that six turds they smelled

I actually think scry gets better in large numbers, because you can do more upfront planning at once. You can more safely send things to the bottom knowing that you'll have desirable cards left on top. That is to say, I think scry 4 is more than twice as good as scry 2 as a one-shot effect...

You might think you had that Damnation, but - you did not. ;) To be quite honest with you, I don't think I've even seen you cast Damnation in the last year. Though you've certainly cast your share of Bonfires! Back when you were coming to my cube events, your feedback was almost universally...

are you.. just pressing the random button on Gatherer now

It's not really a deck nowadays, no. Back when it did exist in another lifetime, the UB control decks were more about value & attrition spells - Sea Gate Oracle, Agony Warp, Phyrexian Rager, Nekrataal - followed up by huge tap-out threats - Grave Titan, Consecrated Sphinx, but most of all...

I know she's not popular, but in most situations I prefer Liliana Vess

Crystal Ball Does this draw roughly one card every two turns?

I ran this card for a while. A loooong time. I mean, I played with it for months in constructed alongside the likes of Khalni Garden, Nest Invader, and Kozilek's Predator, so I felt like I was as qualified as anyone to evaluate it in cube. It's.. pretty awful. Seven attacks is a lot to...

Holy crap, I love it.

Which of these is better? Foresee Concentrate Back when M11 debuted, Chapin posited that scry 4 ≈ draw 1. After playing with the mechanic since that time, I'm inclined to believe him. He was also one of the first to push Preordain in the month after its printing, and convince the world that...

I actually ordered a second copy of Young Pyromancer for my next cube update. I'm not sure it'll actually pan out, but what's the worst that could happen by trying?

Regarding white: you never played those white midrange decks, so I'm not sure why it's less attractive to you than before. I've never seen you draft a Cloudgoat Ranger when it was around. Denix's decks? Sure, they were sweet, but between you and me, he's never won a draft using white midrange...

A comment from the CFB article itself: Brendan Goold · Top Commenter · Seattle, Washington we had to beg CML to take all the life gain cards out of the cube it was so horrible playing with them, it took forever because you guys were so high on them but I think we finally got rid of most of...
