3, there's just a lot I want to do with it is all.

There are, but Voice is the workhorse. Blue tempo / velocity / whatever is a major incentive to what is kind of a fan-favorite archetype over here. I don't see it ever leaving the list to be honest. I think the cube loses character without Geist.

Geist is essential to blue aggro. Clique is my candidate for "best designed Magic card". Pod doesn't exist without Voice of Resurgence. I'm not really sure what Spellskite is for. EDIT: Also tell me what to do about Gruul.

I still don't get why nobody even tests Arrogant Bloodlord.

Proposed replacements for Toxic Deluge, Jace and Hangarback? Can be anything really. It may just be that we say "if you want to wipe the board for less than 4 mana, play red".

In blue... Complicate Force of Will Daze Squelch Memory Lapse Evasive Action Remand Counterspell Hinder Scatter to the Winds Cryptic Command Condescend Candidates: Dissipate Mana Leak Force Spike Spell Pierce Sage's Dousing My cube has 17 Wizards, if that is relevant.

Suggested FoW replacement? I could just slot in another 2-mana counter, but I would rather have one with some play to it if possible.

Hmm.. it actually got played 100% of the time in my paper cube. Especially with 2.5 Fetches, it was used a lot like Ponder. Rearrage, draw the one you want, fetch away the rest. Hmmm, this is difficult.

But Halimar Depths... top of library... :( So I can see it all in one place... Windbrisk Heights Flagstones of Trokair Eiganjo Castle Secluded Steppe Sandstone Bridge Blighted Steppe Faerie Conclave Riptide Laboratory Halimar Depths Academy Ruins Shelldock Isle Blighted Cataract...

Nor is it short for my usual screen name, "Trunkers".

Just looking at the MODO cube list. Which of these (pricey) cards would you consider non-essential to a cube list? Do you have proposed alternatives? I don't want to cut a lot of corners, but if people have ideas, I am open to them. Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Force of Will Liliana of the Veil...

Somewhere around half a dozen. About the same as the last contest.

Yeah, I mean, point taken. Gideon was rarely in our 3-0 decks, but it's been a while since I've run the list, so I'll definitely keep an eye on him when we start running the MODO drafts.

I'll be in Luxembourg doing a comedy show Saturday night, but I'd be around Sunday evening if anyone wanted to hang out.

Okay, I definitely don't want ot be running more than 6 of a single monocolor. Which lands would you guys cut for Blighted White and Blighted Blue?

I do still think it's a cool idea. I don't want the person who picks up a Gravecrawler to be in BR 100% of the time. The main problem is that, when operating outside the realms of custom cards and errata, there's only so much you can do. Kathari Screecher as a 3/2 with Zombie subtype got played...

I don't know about you guys, but I feel like white control would be underpowered without Gideon. Is that some flaw in design? I like high-powered aggro, and we need some anti-aggro in there somewhere.

Other minor interaction: eat a targetted land with Gargaddon with Boom // Bust on the stack.

I think a homebrew Armageddon is fine to run. It'll happen rarely enough to be sweet.
