Grillo mentioned BW earlier and issues it has aggro-wise, but I just haven't seen it personally. I LOVE drafting BW Humans or something more Stax-y in my cube pretty often actually. I will actively look to go into it if I can get the early Champion of the Parish or Bloodsoaked Champions (Two...

But to get it to a 5/5, you really need to have picked up all of the fixing you could possibly get your hands on. There's a cost there sequencing and fetch-wise to really maximize this card versus Monolith which is just a free 3 mana boost with no hoops to jump through. I've found that more of...

Guild wise, I think my rankings are as follows: 1. {B/G} 2. {U/R} 3. {U/B} 4. {W/B} 5. {W/U} 6. {B/R} 7. {R/G} 8. {G/W} 9. {R/W} 10. {G/U} I just don't like UG at all, it tries to be all these different things but usually just defaults to something good-stuffy. There's no real identity...

The more I think about it, the more I'm interested in the new Crystalline Crawler from C16. Let's say the average case scenario is being able to Converge at 3 on T4, usually in some Grixis or Sultai deck. Assuming you hit your 5th land drop, on T5 you have the option of tapping to put one...

I don't know from personal experience, but I would assume he's pretty strong 1v1. I don't imagine that you end up ulting it very often, but why would you bother with that when alternating the +1 and -1 could virtually lock out your opponent of relevant threats. Not to mention that combining it...

That's a cool little combo, but it's a wee bit slow to pull off effectively. Unless I've ramped out an early Gifts, that looks like a T6 play and you've spent the previous two turns not playing anything to impact the board. The only problem I have with Splendid Reclamation in general is that...

So with Kaladesh and the upcoming Aether Revolt, we're getting access to a lot more artifact support than we've seen in recent years. I wasn't explicitly supporting an archetype centered around artifacts before this (aside from UB Tezz that came together with forcing from pack 1 onwards), but I...

I actually think Advokist is just a bad card. You and your opponent each grow a creature, but now they just have a bigger blocker than before. If they kill the Advokist right after, then you're left facing down a slightly bigger threat. It's only good if you can keep your opponents board clear...

I actually find Deathtouch to be massively underrated in general. Sure, it's not as good if you're facing down a board of 1/1s, but it's pretty interesting how often people are unwilling to trade off cards if it just feels like they've lost out on the exchange resource wise. People will let in...

Thus far, I don't think I have a single add from this set. Silas Renn, Seeker Adept, you were so close. If only it had said "play" instead of "cast". Now how am I supposed to get that insane value from looting away my Seat of the Synod or Vault of Whispers?

I love the Ravos art (and it's going to be a foil this time!) and his abilities, but he just feels a tad overcosted at 5 mana. He's going to die to most everything as a 2/2 and I can't imagine that he'll get in all that often in the air that late in the game. I like the anthem and Gravedigger...

Elegant is probably a bad choice of words on my part. I think it's more that Painlands just aren't as universally vaunted or useful as the other options I have available. My cube is pretty high powered, so drafter naturally assume that there is an appropriate level of fixing to match. You want...

Drafted safra's main cube, went into BR Kiki: www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/627739[/url]"] Zeroes 1 Mox Diamond Ones 1 Firebolt 1 Lightning Axe Twos 1 Bloodghast 1 Heir of Falkenrath 1 Magma Jet 1 Smother 1 Talisman of Indulgence 1 Tormenting Voice Threes 1 Cultivator's Caravan 1 Exquisite...

Yeah, this was the hard part. There are just too many good UB options now. I've currently got the following: Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas Dragonlord Silumgar Baleful Strix Contraband Kingpin Gisa and Geralf Silumgar's Command Silas is cool, but I don't think he is as useful as any of these. I...

The problem I had with the Painland cycle was that they just weren't appealing if you weren't especially aggressive or had like 3 of the Eldrazi in your build. I just never found myself wanting a Llanowar Wastes in a GB build unless I was hurting for fixing. Even then, having to ping yourself to...

If you have any of the 3-4 mana deal 4 burn effects, things can snowball REALLY fast. Much too strong 1v1 for me. I like the new UB guy as well, Deathtouch is just underrated in general, but sadly I've already bumped my UB section up to 6 cards with Gisa and Geralf so he'll have to be on the...

Well, I finally got some inspiration earlier this week and got around to changing around some stuff + adding Kaladesh cards. I've made way too many minor tweaks here and there to list out the individual card swaps (thanks for all the drafts this week!), but I might as well address how some of...

Sold on the Chromatic Star, the worst case is cycling for 2 which I've done a number of times with Unearth already. It's never going to be outright bad, and it can really shine in any of the Welder/Daretti decks supplying extra value. I like the idea of Squee and abusing him with a loot effect...

I'd like thoughts on these two cards from people who have been running them in their lists: Chromatic Star Squee, Goblin Nabob

Also I drafted these decks from Dom's Cube. I knew something was weird when I saw like 5 Hallowed Fountains in P2 and I'm like hold up wait what:
