I don't currently run Dissipate, but I have run it. When I did, I wanted some latent Gravecrawler hate.
By "more" 3-mana counters, I'm only really running like 2 at the moment, and they both have :1::u::u: cost.
Take everything you love about Plated Geopede (first Strike), remove the part where it hits for 5 off a fetch, and instead let it be a bear if you have no lands.
Also consider: Snapping Gnarlid is only possibly bigger than this card on the first turn it attacks:
Vinelasher Kudzu
Say you draw...
Okay, I'm running Terramorphic and Evolving Wilds, but holy shit, why have we never run these?
Flood Plain
Bad River
Rocky Tar Pit
Mountain Valley
Grasslands
These are the perfect power level for ULD, no?
I beat James 2-0, 2-0. Narset was pretty useless, but also kind of unkillable. Maybe she's lame.
Tezzeret's Gambit did some work. It proliferated my Jace AoT so I could -2 twice and still keep it on the board. This was a lot of Walkers to have in one deck, and I had enough filtering and...
Yeah, I agree about the philosophical thing being the main distinction. I think Spell Shrivel will be functionally superior almost all the time, and I kind of like the aesthetic of it more, if only because I really like the look of Devoid spells.
This one is on my list. Does somebody have a link to that MTGS format with the burning and the whatnots?
I have updates to Grid and Tenchester that make it way better.
The problem with the lands thing is that I would want to test it before, but I can't test it on MODO without dropping like $400 more on lands. I run 25 fetch + 2 in the ULD currently, which is about 3.5 fetches per drafter. How many fetches per drafter are you guys using?
Feel free to mention any improvements I can make while the stream is on. Where do you want the camera, top-right?
It's probably actually better to have both lists visible, I agree. 2-column Google Doc is probably the best for this. If it's an interactive doc then the streamer doesn't have to...
I will say, I push Sacrifice really hard over here, and Idol is one of the most fun and powerful cards in that theme. I still have memories of tense Jinxed Idol hot-potato games.
I don't support +1/+1 counters explicitly as a theme, but am running 2 proliferate cards. "Without even trying" is one thing, but cutting support for it hurts. I really like the idea of curving Champion of the Parish into Gore-House into Volt Charge.
Assuming we cut a 2-drop for Lightning...
Eh, I still think white aggro is one of the weakest parts of a cube, power-level wise, and needs all the help it can get. That may be a function of the other colors being so pushed.
