    Card/Deck Life from the Loam

    what we should have is a land that turns into a planeswalker that comes into play with more loyalty counters if you dealt damage to an opponent this turn. Then ultimate would allow you to sideboard with your library during that game. And maybe it could shuffle in so you could side it out. I have...

    Card/Deck Life from the Loam

    A manland with bloodthirst would be totally sweet.

    persist lifegain fuckface is in there (I don't count it as GW), I've never played with KotR and it's expensive, Lilly surprise color lord looks sweet, and I had relic-loathing exalted kitty-cat for a long time. It's good, but not so important any more without swords and whatnot. So excuse me for...

    Card/Deck Devour

    Well this thread is reminding me why they all left the cube. I don't think I'll run with any of these.

    Card/Deck Devour

    Hi guys! I just saw CML say something appreciative about Dragon Broodmother s I started thinking about devour creatures. I'm trying to find some value graveyard stuff for my durdly black and/or green decks. Devour has some crossover with my white token makers, so I just need to find the right...

    Card/Deck Why Are All Six Drops In Magic Terrible

    I love Charmbreaker Devils! It was an unconventional choice that I wasn't sure about, but it's been fantastic and I've never looked back. Well I have looked back, fondly. Cards I run that have already been mentioned: Duplicant, Broodmate Dragon, Rampagin' Baloths Otherwise i run Draining Whelk...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I like the looks of Do or Die. 2 is a good cost. You should be able to get good value out of it. It's kind of a mind game because each of you won't know the others hand, and it feels like Fact or Fiction. I do not see any positive things about Breaking Point. I guess it's a wrath for aggro...

    It could be time for Agony Warp to go. When it works it's such a good feeling though!

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Now that I'm looking to add Gifts Ungiven I need a cut. Shall we talk about these? CapsizeTamiyo, the moon sage Capsize is amazing. But is it any fun? I've never been on the receiving end, but it's tough to beat. It does make me think of trying to pay against Sprout Swarm, which is not fun at...

    I'm not looking for Reanimate type combo things, I'm looking for durdly Rescue from the Underworld, Snapcaster Mage, All Sun's Dawn value type things.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    You guys are getting me pretty excited about Nightscape Familiar, I might have to give it a whirl. Let's talk about this one: Gifts ungiven A while a a number of cube articles convinced me this card sucked, so I took it out. Now I'm thinking it helps some graveyard/reanimation shenanigans I'm...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Oh man poor you, you must have had a terrible impression of limited. Was that your motivation to make good draft formats?

    Well if you need an 8th I'm always looking for another episode of Notes from the Road to write. Then again you can probably get an 8th and I can probably get a job.

    I think that is a very good point.

    I run Beast Within. I realised that green is already full of good token makers like the Garuks and Call of the Herd. Hmm, maybe I should add Overrun. That's a good way for these decks to break through a board stall with they haven't already won with loads of 3/3s. Ooooh maybe I should add...

    The Book Thread

    One thing I never really got about Ender's Game is that Ender was hella smart and revolutionised The Game (which I just lost), and there wasn't a single other kid at this school for geniuses that could even approach his level. Did they all just suck? Were they all just a bunch of little kids? IS...

    The Book Thread

    Snow Crash was amazing: It was a fantastic book that was interesting and felt valuable to have read AND I enjoyed reading it very much. Harry Potter: There are loads of problems with Harry Potter. I supposed I find them very fun mostly for nostalgia's sake. It has some characters that I just...

    No, but I wanted to make Trostani be good, so I slowly chucked out all the GW cards and added token cards. They are all from RTR block because they made some really powerful cards for this strategy. If there's some older stuff anybody knows, let me know. I used to have the usual mix of...

    General guild and color balance

    I was writing a really long post answering all your questions, but I don't think I have anything particularly important to say except: -I keep my mono-color sections within a 10-card difference, at most. My multicolor sections with 5, about. I don't think it's really important, the cube is good...
