Journey to Nowhere is miles better than Pacifism, though. They don't get access to the static nor activated abilities of the creature; they can't bounce the creature to have the removal fall off; you don't have to name the target as you cast Journey. To me, they're not even on the same plane. I...

Temporal Isolation already exists, and kind of does what you're proposing. But your variant is mostly just cleaner. I like it! Counterspell / Cancel at {U/P}{U}{U} is something I'd dig. And yeah, why is your Fight Kavu so bad :( Seems like it'd be way better as a 2/4 (but then it doesn't...

I actually run this bad boy. It might just be horrible. I don't know. It's fetchable!

I.. I tried to casually gloss over the fact that all of black's lands suck. But you caught me red-handed. :oops:

Yeah, that's more or less what I was going for, actually. I want each colour to have access to at least one aggro land and one land that's more controlling, so that no matter which colour combination and archetype you end up in, there's something for you. Aggressive lands: Windbrisk Heights...

I think Spawning Pit is mostly inferior to these colourless sac outlets: Blasting Station Jinxed Idol Mortarpod Plated Geopede is already extremely marginal in a cube environment, so unfortunately I don't think that helps Vinelasher Kudzu's case. I have no experience with Herald of Torment...

Is this viable at all as removal? I just came across it while taking apart an Ajani vs. Nicol Bolas deck to look for a copy of Griffin Guide (and then finding two copies of Ajani's Pridemate in the deck, too. Woo!).

On your second list, I'd hang onto: Eldrazi Bribery Treachery Plow Under Jace, The Mind Sculptor The Eldrazi are actually pretty fun, if you support some kind of colourless ramp strategy, like the Cloudpost utility pile that Jason & co. are experimenting with. The next three cards aren't...

Yep, she's kinda worthless without overpowered equipment to tutor up. All too often, people played Stoneforge with their one Bonesplitter, and it was.. underwhelming. Good comparison on Spectral Flight, which is a card I've eyeballed, but haven't pulled the trigger on because it's not really...

If you're drafting with four people somewhat regularly, I'd venture that 450 cards is waaaay too big of a list. Trim it down to 360, stat. No excuses. Make those hard cuts - life'll be better for everyone. I'm not sure what else to tell you. The package of Hawks work here, and it's been...

How is Griffin Guide? I went about perusing your list for ideas on how to improve white aggro, and this one stood out to me as a card that's both unique and sweet. It's like bestow for only {2}{W}! How has double Silverblade Paladin worked out for you? What about double Blade Splicer? Is...

It was surprisingly decent. Against me, the pilot made a bunch of tokens to feed his Aristocrat for days, and in another match, he made enough bodies to block Wolfir Silverheart and its star-crossed lover long enough to assemble a counterattack alpha strike. I'll see if I can get the guy to...

I don't 'pimp' my cube at all. My Volcanic Hammer is a nice, ugly, white bordered 9th Edition version - the very same one that pops up in the tooltip. My basics are a mish mash of core set, Rise, and Innistrad lands. The only foil is a Torch Fiend that was donated by a friend from his pile of...

I think what people keep forgetting is that you have forty-five picks to muck around with, and only slightly over half of those make the cut to your maindeck, not counting non-basic lands. Even with a very generous estimate of ten relevant, worthwhile nonbasics, that's still about a dozen cards...

Yeah, the Farseek was probably unnecessary, with the curve being as tight as it was. Looking at the guy's sideboard now, he could've ran one of Fleshbag Marauder / Ghor-Clan Rampager / Avalanche Riders in its stead!

Polukranos Is it just me, or has Polukranos surely but quietly become the best green creature in everyone else's cubes, too? It's a sturdy brick wall in the early game, a scary critter muncher in the mid-game, and a Plague Wind-on-a-Colossus of Sardia late game. In short, there's never a bad...

Nobody wants to take the risk of jumping in when they see only one hawk. But if you've noticed that two have passed you in the second pack, and better still that they both come back, that's a pretty clear signal that it's safe to jump in. Then in pack three, you can start snapping them up...

Chris, you are 110% right on this. After drawing a late game Reciprocate while at five, and looking at my opponent's Falkenrath Aristocrat with a +1/+1 counter on it, I can confirm this card is hot garbage. I think I'll give Oust another shot! Squadron Hawks were something else, though. So...
