Yeah, I think that's the best assessment. I'm still trying to nab a copy of Nightveil Specter so that my Gray Merchant is less embarrassing.

Yeah, Shackles makes me want to gag, but everything else looks pretty sweet.

Do these not all just embarrass Mwonvuli Acid-Moss, though :(

Wasn't Gatecrash pretty awful? I don't actually know how many GTC cards I run, I just remember it was a huge letdown after the awesomeness of Return to Ravnica. Most everyone was expecting the cycle of hybrid one-drops to be 'completed'. After seeing the blue preview, I figured all of the...

In most cases is that not just a worse Bone Splinters

To be fair, Lucas, you wouldn't mind if every card cycled.

I think it's more than fine if you can only reliably use either the black or green options, though if you can only have one, the life loss is better. Having access to only the creature exiling half is typically less beneficial, unless your opponent is up to shenanigans. It's also not...

Preach it! I mostly like sorcery speed spells because they force the player to commit. No holding up mana until the best possible moment - either put your money down now, or wait an entire turn before you get another chance. For the same reason, I love the level up mechanic and the interesting...

That one's on me. Fixed!

Even though I wished it was.. it's really not :(

As someone who played Wolfbriar Elemental a lot more than I should've in Standard, I can say that this looks like a big upgrade.

It's a new addition, as I've just been slowly picking up the new Commander cards, so I'm still putting it through its paces. It replaced Bonfire of the Damned, which itself had replaced Mizzium Mortars earlier. I want to give Sudden Demise a little more time to prove its worth, but it'd be funny...

Blood Artist is always the MVP in those decks. Does Jinxed Idol actually do anything? I find that Blasting Station is more of an effect I'm looking for with Gravecrawlers (though I see you run that as well).

I could see axing Devil's Play, I suppose. Its main use here seemed to be "turn two, nuke your Joraga Treespeaker, turn fourteen, what are you at, seven, oh burn you for seven," which I'm going to miss. It was the ideal control value and finisher card in that sense, especially for Rakdos and...

For another example of WBR Control in my cube, there was this list that one guy ran a month or two back. (Just.. ignore the Venser.) Maybe not a shining exemplar of the strategy, but this shows that it's possible here, and someone will try this archetype every now and again. Ones 1 Burst...

Yeah, I don't disagree that modal & split cards lead to interesting decision points. It's just that there's plenty of removal that already only goes into red control. Anger of the Gods Earthquake Sudden Demise Chandra Nalaar Devil's Play If I were to swap something out, it wouldn't be...

It might seem crazy, but Volcanic Hammer gets maindecked here most of the time by whoever picks it up. And not just by me! People have been throwing their copies of Searing Spear and Lightning Strike at me for months, imploring me to 'upgrade' my Hammer. They just don't understand the power of...

It's possible no one else in the world will use this card, but I'm really excited to put this in my cube in the Bestial Menace slot to support my green token theme. Six power! Two bodies! Instant speed! Scry if you're desperate! It's everything I love about green on one card.

I suppose it does nuke multiple creatures if you reach {3}{R}{R}{R}, but I'm not really short of ways to blast the entire opposing team in red. For reference, these are the red removal spells in my 380 card list. Burst Lightning Pillar of Flame Shock Arc Trail Incinerate Lash Out Searing Blaze...
