Exactly! But I love me some DRS. Also, I really get more excited when I see *BS threads active than any other. I don't know why. I love me some BS threads. They could have anything in them, which is some pretty sweet potential.

Let's break it down. So, the opponent's creatures losing First Strike is super irrelevant. Giving your own creatures first strike is cool, but, there's another duder that gives this sort of effect: Silverblade Paladin I guess the question comes down to how clogged your boards are. I don't...

I've been slowly re-introducing some broken stuff into my cube. Shackles is very good, and has given rise to a 2 - 0 - 1 Ug Tempo deck and a 2 - 1 Ub control deck in the last two drafts. It's super powerful when 75% of you lands are islands of some sort. But these decks were never that great...

Wait is there a playable Archetype card in this set? Also, I feel like that naming scheme is very confusing, design wise. Oh right, the First Strike dude. MTGS style, anybody want to rank him power-level wise among white's 3-drops?

It's an intersection between Double Strike and something something. Maybe if it cantripped.

One thing I wish custom cards would do more is to excite me as a player, rather than just provide an appropriate amount of power on a variation of an existing effect. I know that's difficult though, because some of my favorite cards I would think were ridiculous if they weren't "WOTC...

Yeah, it's fine, and as Eric mentioned, people manage to find their splash color to activate both sides of Deathrite. The green side has become much more relevant with the lifegain update. I would certainly play it in a non-black deck.

More like 22/360 (two in the utility land pile), along with a playset of Wastelands... hard to say, but I probably wouldn't run 2. It's not super reliable ramp with a lower density, but it still does a ton of work. 1-drops that can close out games without attacking are fairly special.

Do people really have trouble getting Searing Blaze online?

All of you are on notice for allowing me to miss this card. Fist of Suns

These cards seem super hard to evaluate, but my gut says "not good enough"... and then I realize that maybe it's actually a creature sometimes. That's probably my reaction to all the gods though. 5 mana does seem like a lot for haste granting. Not sure if this is a useful reference point: Urabrask

Deathrite Shaman? I run two, and they're awesome. And they gain life. And they interact with Gravecrawler. And fetchlands. It's one of my favorite cube cards.

Dom, do you plan to record any videos of you playing this deck?

I used to run Land Tax but I don't think it really brings much value to the gameplay experience. I never really felt like it was contributing anything from a gameplay perspective.

Sudden Demise has been really cool here. For the record I don't actually play Mortars currently. But if my red section looked like yours I would. :p

I think Jinxed Idol is far more effective than Blasting Station, and I felt like every game where I drew it was an easy win.

Hmm... I love Anger. Especially in a Gravecrawler cube.

I think I'd have to shave two mana off its cost to consider it for my cube.

One-drops give you incredible efficiency per mana to make up for their atrocious efficiency per card.

Sarkhan Vol giving Grim Lavamancer haste was some interesting tech.
