Halimar Temple is really really good. Does it even come into play tapped? I think I'd play it even if it did.

why are we getting my dog and CML's rodent involved in this, they were promised they could be hands-off investors

Your cube is probably entirely too fast for Cruel, on second thought. That, and four Wastelands means it's more likely that CML never posts a rant on libertarians again than it is that someone assembles {U}{U}{B}{B}{B}{R}{R}. But who knows. Try it and find out!

I'm in favour of keeping it, too. I think my main problem with it is the 7 Wonders problem. Like, you draft and play optimally for your seat, but based on the decisions of other players across the table from you, someone else is able to assemble the unstoppable killing machine, and steamroll...

Fantastic write-up, Jonas! Likes all round. I can't believe you took the time to type out all your draft packs and picks, but major kudos for doing so. I love reading stuff like this!

I don't think cutting any of the aggro walkers is necessary, as they should get to play ball too. I just mean a net addition of planeswalkers. Tamiyo is a definite must. Do you already run Gideon Jura? It's too bad all the black walkers suck. One of the Chandras? And yeah, gold walkers can't...

More of a real answer: I suspect that Relentless is the weakest of the bunch, but he is the easiest to cast, whereas Primal Hunter only goes in the heavy green deck. Then again, I'm running the big five mana lug, so take my word with plenty of salt. Dom is probably right here, in that the two...

I watched anotak's video and I laughed so hard when Lucas just yelled out of nowhere, "WHAT KIND OF NAME IS BLANTON ANYWAYS?!"

garruk and garruk

I tried Emeria Angel for a long long time trying to make it a thing.. it wasn't

so skype is officially the best thing to happen to these forums Alex you need to get a better mic, we could barely hear you on the chat!

Sweet, thanks for posting these! I'm enjoying the banter even more than the actual draft material. I seem to recall joining the Skype call at some point and yelling random things at random people, but maybe I was imagining it.

Calvin says you both drafted and built like shit and it's no wonder you had to mull to five. Koth with six red sources total is a mite sketchy. Also, four colourless lands out of sixteen ensures you can never cast your three drops before turn seven. (He won't actually muster up the energy to...

Detailed cube feedback, from having played it Saturday and railbirding a whole bunch of matches Sunday: Control feels next to unplayable in your cube, between the life loss from the fetch and shocklands, the consistency and power of the aggro decks, but more importantly, the constant...

Yes to: Trading Post, Frostburn Weird, Spellskite (though it helps the Pod combo, yuck) Double Yes to: Cruel Ultimatum (I may be alone here though) No to: all the other dumb walls Lands: double duals is my vote. I think almost every other cube on this forum could use double shocks, but in your...

In... to bird!

Ah, that explains why you were so experienced and sure-handed with the archetype in cube. Well done!

Yeah, two card instant-win combos are not really fun nor interactive. A quartet of Birthing Pods to tutor for either half of the combo means that you could actually have a dozen or more ways to put together your two card combo. Yes, we all know that the player has to draft all the pieces...

or be like Jason and uninstall the whole program, then reformat your hard drive, then take a hammer and smash the computer

blood artist is not low impact yo To be fair Jason, your seat was definitely B/R, and I'm not sure how you could have drafted differently, unless you went about it with a more midrange slant. The late Bob pack one kind of sent you down the aggro path, though.
