Tonight I think I lost every single game in which I cast Jace, the Mind Sculptor. Except against the intern! I beat the intern. Well, Jace did. But I helped.

In our case, it's mostly just size, and needing to accommodate multiple images on a line within a forum post before wrapping. Those magiccards images are big yo.

fetchlands in the utility pile..? you crazy.. they seem so much better than anything else i would ever want let us know how Mosswort Bridge works out, that's a card i want to be good but am pretty sure is win more over here yes to Shelldock staying in the main list really cool idea splitting out...

Aw, that's kind of a shame. It takes some of the wind out of the sails when design and development don't do a careful job of balancing new cards for what seems to be an intricate and well-made game system. Is there any kind of ban list for constructed tournament play? Or really, any management...

Yeah, a quick glance at your list shows me that the power level of your creature base isn't too high, but on the flip side, you still run most of the best removal, all of the best counterspells, and some very hard-to-answer creature stealing. I think your best bet is to either juice up your...

Hmmmm, yeah. That's not an overabundance for 360, though I suspect Coalition Relic is secretly the best card in your cube if your power level ceiling isn't too high, so I'd keep an eye on that. How are your control decks taking control of the games? Is it through an abundance of removal &...

Hey don't hate on Corpsehatch. Thing was bonkers in Rise draft!

Yeah, the problem with land destruction is that half of the decks just don't care. The Gruul decks that would play Stone Rain and such, while on the aggro end of the spectrum, can be outpaced by the Boros and Rakdos hyper aggressive swarm decks. If you go with double Stone Rain and double Ice...

FSR, could you explain what the combos that people have gravitated towards look like? Having seen only a very small fraction of the card pool, I'd like to know what a non-interactive combo deck even looks like.

I played this for the first time last night, and it was an absolute blast. The learning curve is fairly steep, and I felt like I was exposed to more information than I could reasonably digest, but despite that hurdle, the gameplay and strategy shone through. The most striking thing about...

Land destruction is awesome! I'm a huge proponent of adding an element of disruption to red's arsenal, beyond the usual burn suite. For green, I'm a big fan of Mwonvuli Acid-Moss Way more interesting than a color-shifted Stone Rain, which itself is pretty marginal. In red, why not start...

All of the Swords were really great in green, actually. They were a smidgen too expensive for your typical white or red aggro decks to have time to use them effectively, but the more midrangy green decks with lots of spare bodies always had room for a Sword or two. Too bad about that dual...

I already do this. I think there was a fair bit of discussion on the other thread about 18-card packs. The arguments in favour of running fourteen over fifteen are that a) it mimics actual retail Limited, b) you're usually stuffed to the gills with playables in cube already, so make people make...

Good call, Alfonzo. I've renamed the thread. Yeah, pingers are another good way to keep small tokens in check. Cunning Sparkmage Mortarpod I really like the Arc Lightning suggestion, though it's generally too slow in other matchups, so I just stick to Arc Trail. Another consideration...

Repeal Maelstrom Pulse It might also help to know what types of tokens you're pushing. Are they mostly 1/1 soldiers, or do they fly? Are there any as big as 3/3? If 2/2's are your biggest problem, Pyroclasm or Staggershock can go a long way, though they also deliver some collateral damage...

Play black, avoid green. My players love green and fight over it, so... things usually go in the exact opposite direction of that.

... you said you were going down to three Gravecrawlers for shame

Sylvan Primordial Bannable in EDH, is this thing remotely cubeable? I've run both Woodfall Primus and Terastodon at various points, and this seems like it would fill a similar niche, albeit being one (critical!) mana cheaper.

I've actually cubed Gut Shot in the past, but I was the only one maindecking it with any consistency. It certainly kills those mana dorks good (Treespeaker level up? I don't think so!). But no one else here was taking the free burn spell, so I gave it a rest. If you're doing the Young Pyro...
