    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Urgh, still have Soul of Shandalar in mine but he hasn't done jack shit in ever. He's probably out at the next update. I feel like Sentinel is a real sweet card, but it might just be overcosted by one. If it were a 3/5 for 4W, I would be more excited to run it. As a six drop though? It's kinda...

    Faithless Looting Tormenting Voice Magmatic Insight I need some help deciding which of these (maybe 2/3) I should be running. I've had Faithless Looting in my cube since it's inception, but I've only seen it run like twice. I don't really have much reanimator shenanigans happening either...

    Hitting your lands is the biggest thing in EDH. The mana curve in that format is pretty steep, most everything relevant is 4+. It's a colorless form of ramp for colors that don't get access to ramp very often, a good inclusion in many non-green decks. Ramping up into your big threats is always...

    But I'm just imagining dumb scenarios like Ajani's Pridemate equipped with the sword, Courser of Kruphix on field, and let's say an untapped fetch. Think of the triggers, da triggurz.

    Shamim's Cube

    Whoa it's been about 3 months since I last updated/posted in here. A couple of quick non-Origins updates though: Acquired a copy of Noble Hierarch earlier today, will be adding into the Cube later tonight. Pretty stoked to have a dork to bring some sweet Bant fixing, serve as a target for...

    Tragic Arrogance seems pretty interesting, I didn't realize that having the ability to choose made it that much better. I'll definitely pick up a copy now. Do you not like Jace for Limited/Constructed or at all? I think he's fine in Cube as a looter/dude-who-enables-earlier-delves. Also I...

    Wow I'm surprised it was that high on preorder. I don't think it's going to drop much further, card is pretty nutty. It's an insta-add in many EDH decks, and that Rampant Growth per turn (on swing, not even combat damage!) is so good. This is the kind of equipment I love seeing. I played against...

    Did it really drop? I'm seeing it at $5/$20 for Nonfoil/Foil. That seems about right to me. It's going to have a LOT of EDH appeal. I don't see it falling too much lower.

    I like picking up foils for Cube, specifically cards that I feel will be in my Cube for a while and/or are likely to jump in value in the near future. So far I've ebayed for a promo Lily (basically the only card I REALLY wanted a foil of), and promo versions of Evolutionary Leap and Harbinger of...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    He's very interesting to me. A 1/4 Deathtouch can't just be traded with easily because of that big butt. It's either lose a creature to it or take (usually) 3+ damage. Gets nutty if you have Carrion Feeder and Gravecrawlers on the board. I'm a fan.

    I could see cutting him if you have many ways of cheating him out early. Free 5/5 flyers seems pretty decent. I'm pretty fine with that happening every once in a while if someone crafts a sweet reanimator deck. I just think that it'll be cast on curve for 5, 4 with ramp, most of the time in my...

    Priest of the Blood Rite is so cool. My friend and I did a 2HG last night, went 3-1, and I had a super sweet RB Sacrifice deck. 4 Nantuko Husk, 3 Act of Treason, 2 Fleshbag Marauder, Macabre Waltz, etc. It was so gross. Priest came down, made his 5/5 demon buddy, and certain opponents just...

    Yeah, basically this. I've been reading the back-and-forth and I don't see why it still went on. You want this sort of aggressive card in red based aggro, you don't care for it as much in blue. Latch Seeker is 1UU and blue aggro isn't a common theme unless you're forcing it. I'm not in the...

    I too believe in the Inferno now, Acolyte is the real deal. Super Ashmouth Hound is pretty awesome.

    I love the sideboard feature on Cubetutor. Mostly using it to keep track of my ULD, but it's also a good place to jot down cards that pique my interest or that we get into a discussion about here on the forums.

    Card/Deck Ug... What should I do with my Blue-Green section?

    I've been wondering about UG as well in my Cube. I really want UG tempo to be a thing, but it's hard to make it work. My Simic section right now: Edric, Spymaster of Trest Trygon Predator Kiora, the Crashing Wave We had a draft on Sunday where I made a sort of Grixis Tempo/Control deck...

    I will definitely support CT Patreon once I have a steady source of income. The life of a college student who also spends way too much on Magic is pretty miserable financially.
