Drogskol Reaver I've been pleasantly surprised by this guy, as he feels like a fair Baneslayer / Consecrated Sphinx mash-up that doesn't stymie aggro decks as early on, but can still take over the game eventually if left unchecked. Would this and Sphinx's Revelation be too much for a UW...

Yeah, this came up during our team deckbuilding. I think his plan was to tick Aether Vial to three and leave it there. I don't know that it was the most sound of plans. Then again, I didn't win a match on the night, so I really shouldn't be one to talk.

The winning list was piloted by a guy who used to jam every seven drop he could find into all of his cube decks. Knowing this, one time I Stone Rained him to keep him off his seventh land drop, leaving him stuck at six for the remainder of the game. When I asked if his three cards in hand were...

I should totally put that bug back in and call it an Easter egg.

Tokens, too!

Fact: Wayfarer's Bauble is banned in my cube, for powering up the control decks too much. *ducks and runs*

Blood Artist is the single most underrated cube card, bar none. You heard it here first! For those people hopelessly trying to make Kalastria Highborn work, JUST USE BLOOD ARTIST. It: is easier to cast doesn't require you to hold mana up to trigger works on all creatures on both sides of the...

Lol, yup, I've noticed that since Xathrid Necromancer was first printed. As far as bugs go, this one is pretty charming. I was going to blame any number of factors, but then I figured I should actually take a look. This is totally embarrassing, but I have an extra 'x' in my regular expression...

I said it before on some other thread on here, but Death Cloud is secretly a Golgari ramp card. Like Jason mentioned, the best way to use it is to accelerate and pump a lot of mana into it, and then win a grindy game with recursive creatures or other resources that are immune to being...

Unless you run a powered cube or give someone a stack of artifact lands, I'm not a huge fan of Trinket Mage, either. I tried Hedron Crab, but without explicit support for a mill-you theme, he was most relegated to side duty for the self-mill decks. Even then, I found that I wanted to play ol'...

Good call. I might actually make some room for Mizzium Mortars again, as I like that is has an alternate mode, even if it's rarely needed.

Yeah, I had to leave early, but when Wilson told me your second game took something like an hour, I had to figure Vault of the Archangel was the culprit. Is the thing too good for utility draft, and in need of a promotion to the main cube? Or are people just ignoring the Tectonic Edges to their...

If I could butt in, I might suggest Imperious Perfect over Jade Mage. A little slower to get going, but a lot easier to get value out of in the long run.

Hooooooooly sheezus those black-bordered bottoms are ugly. I guess I buy their reasoning that the text down there needs to be machine-readable, but.. man.

Love Earthquake! In an earlier life, I would routinely p1p1 this card and jam it into most any aggro or control deck. I like that it has a whole bunch of modes - creature sweeper, Fireball to the face, planeswalker removal.

In theory, on the play against a do-nothing control deck, maybe. The "hold mana up to delay their Wrath for a turn" idea is sound. In practice, though, sometimes you're on the draw, and somtimes they go Tragic Slip, Spellskite. Sometimes, both of those things happen, and you fall behind in a...

Assault Zeppelid.. what.. I don't
