Oh no, I liked that bug. At first I thought it was people just, like, fucking up, then it became far too glaring for me to ignore.

Zombies, Pod and Lifegain all want Blood Artist

Christ, you guys do not know terror until you face down this combination: Blood Artist Birthing Pod It got online and the game got hard. I couldn't race. I couldn't trade profitably. Combat math became increasingly impossible as my life-total dwindled. Blood Artist continues to do better than...

Do we count Mox Diamond as a cool thing Trinket Mage can do? Mox Diamond only accelerates you if you have two lands in hand, and by the time you play the Mage that's not often a guarantee.

Hmm... maybe. :) I've actually seen these types of arguments used far more often in constructed. There's some smug bastard at the local store who always takes great pride in saying that X card/deck is weak to Y card/deck. Then he plays these total abortions and goes 1 - 3 and moans about mana...

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. Can you elaborate?

The other issue, like you mention, is that Deathcloud wants more of a specific build (e.g. ways to ramp up to Deathcloud mana), so you kind of have to "build-around" it, but since it's only a one-of most games you won't ever draw it. AND it's triple black so you don't have a lot of range in...

Part of the inherent problem was that in cube, Deathcloud decks generally wanted to be low resource decks, and you actually need a lot of resources in order to cast a worthwhile Deathcloud. It's intrinsically anti-synergistic with Smallpox, strangely enough.

Skirsdag and Deathcloud both massively disappointed in my cube whenever I tried them. I'm always pretty skeptical of people who claim Deathcloud is an effective cube card.

Shackles was sweet. Good answer to Bitterblossom. I even cut one of my Utility Lands (Shelldock Isle) to play another Island.

I have in the past had much more success with Shardless, but it's very context sensitive. Sometimes you have a deck that is Cascading into Bob, Jitte, Stoneforge, Goyf all day. This was really not the deck for it, and it's well possible that I should have been playing one of the other 3-drop...

The spelling of my name is given below my avatar. :(

Also, Eric points out I was playing way too few spells, which is probably correct, but somehow it worked out. I am not sure that's the most sound argument, but...

Turn 2 Lotus Cobra, Turn 3 pass with Scalding Tarn uncracked, Cryptic Command their spell. Surprisingly satisfying.

I kind of hate all those cards? Grey Merchant is a Zombie? If I took out Trinket Mage would anybody care? I don't feel like I've wanted it in a deck in a long time.

Future Sight frames are where it's at and I feel sorry for anybody that has new school Goyfs. I've never been around for any of the frame changes, but I always have liked the newer versions better. The only exception being that old-timey artifact cards really have the "feel" of an artifact...
