    That card used to be one of my favourite peasant cards. I used to play this a lot in cube in green based control decks. Rude awakening really revolutionized this field, but it never felt that much worse than decree of justice because you could always just make a million 2/2's a turn or two...

    What do you have against ravenous baloth CML? Yeah I'm not a big fan of how the new legend rule removes answers from decks. I liked how they limited the potential for powerful legends by adding in more kill clauses that directly influenced the situations a designer might try to avoid with those...

    You guys make a good back and forth, I was cracking up every time my name was mentioned too when I listened to the first half later that day while working. My main thoughts right now are concerning what directions to go with my own pauper or pez list but more often than not when thinking about...

    I got another of what I can only assume is a young pyromancer update. Recieved a text from my buddy that plays with power that read: "Whats a 1/1 creature that draws 3 cards when it comes into play?" I've only been able to get smiley faces out of him since. I assume someone's having fun with...

    I really like UBW or UBG or BG sorta control reanimator decks. Very mild fatty cheating potential but also just getting some extra play out of that stuff that ends up in your graveyard, your value creatures and your fatties all get a one up or two that you will usually not wish isn't just...

    Yeah come to think of it I don't think I've read anything of merit since I was reading collections of personal essays in university. I guess I've listened to a lot of acclaimed short science fiction in the form or radio drama though. Anyone got anything in that vein to recommend?

    General Rebooting my cube, graveyard stuff!

    I always take notice when cremate is in a format. It's a cheap trick and graveyards are often relevant in formats. I MD'd shred memory in some stupid deck I made. I think I was just in love with transmute. It's probably not worth it. I think there were a couple imprint cards that could be useful...

    Card/Deck [SCD] Molten Birth

    Lol is anyone cubing tradewind rider? Man my memories of multiplayer formats always either involve a seedborn muse or a terravore. Glare is a card that drove me insane in standard. I'm like really not amazing in complex board states and greater good + yosei + glare + jitte decks could almost...

    I really dont tend to mind protection too much. I think it's a really spicy mechanic because it can mean such different things between which colours are interacting but also just between formats. It's something that I feel like has to be done thoughtfully though. One of my first lines of...

    I'm totally fine with the green black sword. It is just do cute to me and I never played when it was legal. I guess I hate things that fudge with black but I love things that evade dorks and tokens.

    Card/Deck MCD -- Anthems

    Oh man me and Chris "The Dandyman" Taylor totally had a conversation about this on salvation where we actually figured out (as old friends) that we were talking to each other. I think we proposed that you needed an unconventional cube (you guys are obvs the people to talk to) or a relatively...

    Do you guys really think upheaval will be incredibusted with incredibly limited artifact ramp and common creatures?

    Maybe I shoulda read the review! I guess I'd seen that sort of thing said before, but until I started trying to play stone rain // bad aggressive decks again it didn't really catch. Like playing a stone rain and not having a board position advantage is such a lame feeling. It's just so nice to...

    I was talking to a friend of mine from class about trying to play red or black aggro with proactive disruption like LD and duress and how you never feel like you are doing any one thing well enough to win. He proceeds to drop a card on me like a tonne of bricks: Young Pyromancer. Apparently...

    I'm gonna put this stuff here so I remember to bother you about it: How can we make it more consistent for loam//crucible decks to find their card? I think one of your recent updates may have included a bunch of cards that make life harder for 2/1 decks. Cards that are sweet against 2/1 decks...

    Yeah when I'm dreaming up cards I think it's really sad I'm trying to design 3 drops that aren't better than nighthawk. It's like you know someone on some forum out there is going to tell you about how nighthawk is the best and you're going to remember that and you'll feel sad.
