    I might swap out Guttersnipe for this Hammer-loving satyr.

    Yeah, Stone Rain still does stone (ahem) nothing against the aggro decks. Even in the format I just described, I'd be loathe to maindeck a playset of three mana sorceries that didn't do anything against half of the field. It would take something special before I'd want to run eight of them (!)...

    I think this depends on your cube's burn density. Right now, it seems like I have thirteen spells that qualify for his clause. That feels like it's not high enough, but who knows. I'm probably going to test him with the mindset that it's a two-mana enchantment that can interacted with via Shock...

    Maybe I'm biased, but land destruction is nice because it's another tool to keep the greedy decks in check, and gives aggro decks a different angle of disruption. In the Standard format where Overgrown Battlement / Primeval Titan / Valakut was winning tournament after tournament, it was less a...

    There's at least two green midrange decks that can make use of ramp, though. The one that goes elf - Vengevine - Wolfir Silverheart, and the other one that goes Treespeaker - Oracle of Mul Daya - Avenger of Zendikar. The first one is closer to what you'd expect a normal Kibler midrange deck to...

    Welp, at least we're not talking about a 1/3 flyer for two. (Sorry. Just had to say it.)

    Yeah, definitely. Noble Hierarch and friends are here to power out Knight of the Reliquary and Bloodbraid Elf ahead of schedule, and hopefully stay alive long enough to get boosted by the eventual Overwhelming Stampede. Meanwhile, Wall of Roots is meant to stall for your Thragtusk, which in turn...

    Card/Deck Multipost

    I've been trying this exact same thing for months, with the likes of Sakura-Tribe Elder, Farseek, Wall of Roots, and other "sturdier" forms of ramp than your typical fragile Birds of Paradise and Llanowar Elves. But as far as I can remember, a green ramp deck hasn't won in the last year, and...

    I underestimated how long this would bother me for. It's still bugging me the hell out.

    Did you.. did you flip your avatar or were you always facing that way? This is going to bother me for the next four hours.

    Whaaaaaaaaat Stone Rain is totally still a three mana spell. It probably wouldn't even be all that good in any of the Standard formats of the last six years. If we're talking about half mana costs, though, there's always that pesky Counterspell that's a bit much at two and awful at three...

    Yeah, Revenge of the Hunted came to mind for me too when I saw Hunter's Prowess. While they do pretty different things, they fill more or less the same slot in your deck, and you can't run more than one or two of these cards. I'll probably continue to use Revenge because the surprise mode packs...

    I know, I know. I was out of line. It's not like you started a thread declaring the color-shifted version to be the best card in M14 or anything.

    break-the-rules cube

    I'm kinda with Chris on this one. A lot of these custom cards look sweet, but some of the very minor errata seems like it would just add more mental burden for minimal gain. Then again, I suppose we don't know anything about anotak's playgroup. If his group is hyper-Spikey and has the mental...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    I mean, Maro keeps saying that modal cards are for Spikes, who love to have as many options available to them as possible, so they can eke out every advantage to outplay their opponent. But if all of my cards have three or more modes, I'd probably just break down at some point from the...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    I like modal cards, but.. I think there are too many modes on some of these cards. How do your player's heads not explode? I honestly have trouble explaining the suspend and dredge mechanics to some of my newer players as it is.

    Hmmm, that.. wasn't me. I ran neither Descendant nor Gilded Lotus. I don't doubt you gave someone here that advice, though! In my own Gatherer searches, I did consider Concordia Pegasus for a fleeting moment. Then I thought, "Nah, I'm not FSR." Aven Riftwatcher looks interesting. Gonna put...
