Gideon's Lawkeeper Goldmeadow Harrier Tappers in white are traditionally pretty (read: extremely) annoying in Limited, but are next to unplayable in Constructed. Do they do anything in cube? Lawkeeper keeps bouncing in and out of my list, but I never really paid attention to whether he was...

That's a pretty convincing argument in favour of Wolfir Avenger. Consider him in!

Hmmm, you're right, white could potentially use another anthem at this point. Got any in mind? Glorious Anthem is a bit underwhelming, and I don't like how Honor of the Pure makes you feel bad for having the audacity to splash. I think I already run most of the usual suspects. Ajani, Caller of...

Yeah, I'm as all-in on the Gravecrawler plan as it gets, and even with a light reanimator theme in my cube to boot, I can't say I've ever once wanted to start Rotting Rats. Even when it's in my card pool.

When I had Jinxed Choker in, all my drafters would read three or four lines of its tiny text, decide they didn't want to know any more, and draft something else. It's the first card I've cut because no one could be bothered to read it all the way through.

I kind of wonder if the best way to play a powered cube is to do a Rotisserie draft. That way, people theoretically have equal access to power, rather than randomly being gifted a Library p1p1 and then a Recall p3p1, and blindly stumbling to victory.

Condescend, or Dissolve?

I spent $0.25 on my last card order picking up a Hellion Crucible cause I saw it in your list. Now you tell me it's terrible. I WANT MY MONIES BACK

I'm not sure how much I like Nether Traitor. As one of the biggest fans of Jason's Gravecrawler theme, I ran it for a while, and found it was pretty narrow, low powered, and more difficult to abuse. Reassembling Skeleton?

Yep, that's my one sentence preview. Ship it! At this point, I kind of wish they hadn't given us access to the alpha build. Like I said, the game isn't really close to finished. Even as a Kickstarter backer, I don't really want to play the role of QA analyst. I.. just kind of want to play the...

I actually started playing the Hex alpha build. It's baaaaarely functional. I can't read any of my cards at any time (in hand, battlefield, or graveyard) unless I zoom in. I think that MTGO, even in its current state, has nothing to worry about.

Talrand is sooooooo slooooooow. Even Guttersnipe at 3 cmc barely makes the cut for the all-instants deck, and then only just. Into the Roil is sweet and a personal favourite, but it's mostly a control card. Do people here already run Repeal? Bouncing a Blade Splicer token for one mana is...

Nightveil Specter Is this thing cubeable, or a constructed-only card?

Anybody who's anybody knows new Chandra is better than Koth. *runs away*

Concur, Spectral Procession is just about the best thing ever, and was the best (only?) incentive to go mono-white. Shrine is alright but it's mostly a sideboard card for the attrition matchups. I feel bad when I have to maindeck it.

We just did a nine-man draft where Koth tabled, among multiple red drafters. That probably wasn't correct, but.. yeah.

I remember your walker thread! It was pretty epic. For old time's sake, you can view it here. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/riptide-laboratory/sVroBJyytQg/93y9ZPo0SOEJ

I had Shadowborn Demon in for a bunch of drafts, and even included it in a nut Gravecrawler deck, and I think it's unplayable in cube. Too much effort to set up. Maybe only if you have a strong dredge theme. I very recently cut Honor of the Pure after having it in my cube for over two years...

Whatever you've done, it looks like you've solved your aggro problem. Those aggro decks look beastly!
