Fewer spheres more tinkers!

Maybe if you were going for a "Bad Tinker" theme.

What I like about coral helm is that you can really imply fictional counterspells with it. Other than that I think it's a card I want to see in peasant magic.

Man there are so many things I wish I had responded to earlier here, the conversation has gone far and wide. I think I'm happier I didn't get too embroiled in this though. I think my first point should be regarding how drafting aggro decks tends to work for me. This can vary a little with...

Man we are such a diverse group of argumentative lunks.

I've seen it do real work in limited and in peasant. Frankly I'm not too sure about it either, but it feels narrow enough to have issues in most higher power level cubes. I get the feeling anyone who supports too many graveyard aggro decks or the counters theme might like it though. The...

Hey man, I'm just glad I put it in reasonable words. Usually it takes a whole tirade for me to get one or two good talking points about a thing as nebulous as protection abilities. I do think people should think more about the when and the where protection abilities are relevant though (exciting...

Izanus: This one is kinda neat. The emblem is way too oppressive though! Nazmatath: This one is a little trickier because it requires a creature in the yard and black decks are kinda shy of funding it for the most part. Again the 2nd ability is kinda oppressive but it's still a novel idea! I...

I think there are a lot of cards there that can be fun. Can you link to your cube so I can take a look? I think Sword of fire and ice can be a great "Only sword" inclusion because both colours are pretty readily capable of dealing with the creature upon activation and neither colour is known...

Woah it's like a cooler bloodthirst! When I saw the dirt devil on mythic spoiler I thought it was an uncommon and I got really excited about the limited format. I like the flavor though, anyone caught outside when it unmorphs is sucked up like cows in a twister.

I mainly think of Ral as a thing that removes blockers+ (like pyromaster) and lightning bolts. I mainly think of Ajani V as a thing that removes lands+, lightning bolts+ and potentially geddons. I like things that are both bolt factories and stone rain etc in my aggro decks. Hell rider is cool...

Ummmm, I don't know how including more cards that can be exciting to a number of archetypes creates unnatural bifrication. It just means there are fewer dead picks later on and people can feel less committed to a strategy more often. You mean like token strategies lol? Are you saying these...

I assume the aggro decks have koth, chandra, ajani V, sorin, lily, domri and to a lesser extent any garruk, and ral. That's 9 of them (Not to mention like over half the creatures most people put in cube are just for aggressive decks. I'm betting you've got something like 24/32 creatures in...

Hahaha they hadn't printed those ones yet if I remember correctly. I only got a chance to draft shadowmoor I don't think I ever did any constructed with it.

Yeah a lot of this is me just trying to read the room and include my personal preference. I would easily be for replacing the jace with any of the other tried and true jaces. Tamiyo's ultimate is probably the only ultimate that I find fun and it's + ability is really versatile, helps...

Yeah I dunno what to tell you man, cloudthresher wasn't a horrible card because of faeries and hypnotic specters running around and it was also just a funny way to get an incredibly large creature into play while doing 4 damage to everyone. You'd just catch random birds of paradise mull drifters...

I really doubt you will be seeing the ronom unicorn / bounce wave deck burning down the tables too consistently. You might see wave just doing it's normal thing pretty regularly to great effect but I wouldn't worry over much about that combo getting stale.

This was in standard Jason. I didn't play much back then but there were a lot of fun things to do.

Token instants and sorceries theme in white? It gets along better with delvers and spells matter and sac themes, and you get the same lame theme with anthems as pridemates with lifelinkers. It's still pretty shallow and doesn't really expand gameplay though. You also get a weird symptom where 1...

Two Planeswalkers per colour list? Gideon Jura Elspeth, Sun's Champion Jace, the mind sculptor Tamiyo, the moon sage Koth of the hammer Chandra, pyromaster Garruk Wildspeaker Garruk Relentless I think primal hunter is pretty equal to relentless really (I hope everyone gets my Missing No. joke)
