Marath, Will of the Wild passes out +1/+1 counters and gets better with things that add +1/+1 counters. Too bad it's a 3 color card. Animar, Soul of Elements is another card that generates counters and rewards you for them but again, 3 colors.

Finally got around to updating the cube for DTK and MOrigins. Still need to add the flipwalkers. Signets survive another purge. NEXT TIME YOU BASTARDS.

I haven't run Slave of Bolas in a while but I'm usually looking for a reason to add it again.

Recall does two very powerful and very special things: 1) draw three cards at instant speed 2) cost one mana Dig is very close to 2-mana instant speed double tutor. But it isn't actually that. Actual 2-mana double demonic tutor would be better than Recall. 2-6 mana best 2 cards in your top 7...

2 mana instant speed double Demonic Tutor is better than sorcery speed Ancestral Recall if your deck isn't just 0-2 mana spells that all do the same thing. (Just not twice as good) Gush is great! You have to change how you draft or play to maximize it, which is good imo

Shrug I assumed from "the dominant deck" that we were talking about CAWBLADE and not UW why are we still playing Squadron Hawk when Deceiver Exarch/Splinter Twin is legal but we have no better ideas 2 weeks after M12 was released, my mistake. Some of Preordain > Ponder is likely inertia from...

The reason Caw-Blade played Preordain over Ponder is very simple. Preordain was Standard legal, and Ponder was not.

In round 2 I went t1 Sol Ring + Signet, t2 Metamorph my Sol Ring + Everflowing Chalice for x=2, t3 Mindslaver + activate, t4 Sharuum + activate Mindslaver, t5 Conjurer's Closet and my opponent concedes. In round 3 I went t1 Sol Ring, opponent also had t1 Sol Ring. I had t2 Crucible of Worlds...

Was asked to draft a Commander cube to fillin the last spot. Each drafter is given a Sol Ring, Mind Stone, Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds. Commander: Sharuum the Hegemon Zeroes 1 Chrome Mox 1 Gitaxian Probe 1 Everflowing Chalice 1 Engineered Explosives Ones 1 Ponder 1 Vampiric Tutor...

As much as I like Fetters, it can be somewhat stifling for aggressive decks that weren't quite fast enough. Council's Judgment has taken some pressure off of Fetters as a safety valve for planeswalkers/enchantments/indestructible/etc. if you wanted to cut Fetters.

2 less for each basic land type among lands you control.

Fetters is great as long as it's not the first spell you play.

I only know two french words, fries and toast.

First one: 'lark dies and brings back Guide and VBR. VBR untaps all your creatures including mana dorks, Guide gets back 'lark. Sac VBR and Guide, then 'lark. Repeat. Second one: tap and sac a bounce creature with earthcraft to pay for evolutionary leap's activation. Cast Artisan of Kozilek for...

With Marath: Marath, Will of the Wild and some tokens, some random lands, Gaea's Cradle, Birds of Paradise + Sylvan Caryatid + Bloom Tender, Evolutionary Leap in play. Fed a token to Leap, found Acidic Slime which was then cast and fed to the Leap, hit Karmic Guide. Fed both Slime and Guide to...

Skipped Game Day because I just wanted the Conclave Naturalists promo and have minions to acquire it for me. Played newest Jace in my Geist of St. Traft EDH deck for FNM and while he was pretty poor with all of my instants, he was very good flashing back Armageddons and Cataclysms against ramp...

Additional mill pieces make tutelage worse, not better imo. All you want to do with tutelage is a) not die and b) draw cards. It's like drafting a mill deck with Jace Memory Adept, what's the point of milling them for 5 extra cards early when your win condition is going to kill them in 3 turns...

Decided to try Cuneo's UR tutelage deck and it mills 60 card decks out in like 2-3 turns with the likes of Tormenting Voice and Jace loots. I'm not saying don't try it, but I'm a bit wary of stapling Glimpse the Unthinkable to Brainstorm/Treasure Cruise/Harmonize in 40 card land.

Primetime usually just gets Eye of Ugin + Gaea's Cradle which sets up various kill conditions for the next turn. The deck has a lot of goofy combo routes depending on what you have in play, Evolutionary Leap has some interesting applications as well.
