Yeah, I see the upside to it. Spell on a land, I get it. I guess I just don't like the card very much. I could see the benefits in Standard for controlly decks, but it seems pretty janky in a Cube context, which is what I meant by tapping out for it earlier.

I see what you guys are saying, but there's just not enough upside there for me to ever play with it. Tapping out for a 3/4 flyer and going down a land is just so sad.

It literally is a 6 mana 3/4 flyer because you tap 5, then tap to sac the castle. That's the supposed "upside" when looking at the card. Otherwise, it's just a colorless land with no other relevant abilities that won't provide you with much help at all. There's no other way to represent it I...

Would you play a 6 mana 3/4 flyer with an additional cost of sacrificing a land? Good deal 17 years ago.

Never liked him because if he were top decked on an empty board, it's basically a really expensive kill spell if you don't have 6 in the grave. Too restrictive for me.

Yeah, this is the only issue I've seen after viewing my Cube. A few green fatties like Prime Time and Poly seem like they'd be terrible to go up against. It does work elsewhere though, destroys a lot of White 4+ drops. I'm running 2 Shriekmaws atm the moment, I think I'll swap one out and see...

Yeah, I need to run down my list and see all the relevant threats that she can take down. I've heard good things about Pyreheart, haven't used it yet though. However, I feel like part of the appeal is being able to curve it into bigger threats and apply that offensive pressure. You can't really...

This set is so sweet though. There's a huge number of cards I'm interested in cubing. Just looking over spoilers thus far I'm looking at: More Prowess dudes is always good, a black three that plays interesting with graveyard strategies AND recursive aggro, some fun red cards, and a greaen...

How good is the Menace ability? I've only had experience with using Stormblood Berserker which just runs roughshod on curve with removal in hand. This card is good enough to trade for two cards most of the time (counting that ETB trigger), but will it actually get into the red zone that often...

I'm at $2.6K, no proxies. Pretty kewl since I probably spent only a third of that actually assembling it and trading into pieces. I'm surprised by how much certain cards are worth tbh.

The issue I've had with the archetype is actually setting up the engine. Most of the pieces are in the mid-game (Eidolon at 4, Doomwake 5), and it's tough to keep up early if your opponent is especially aggressive. You can't really durdle that hard against aggro with a good curve (unless you...

This set is so sweet. Herald of the Pantheon might be enough to push enchantments far enough to work in my drafts more often. Until now, you'd have to luck into a sweet Abzan build just to have enough playables. Now, you can curve this right into Blossoms and keep the good times rolling.

Abbot of Keral Keep hype, what a great 2 drop for red. I wish it was from Kher Keep though.

I'm in love with the new UU merfolk. He's exactly the kind of tempo card I've been looking for. UU Merfolk --> Man-o'-War --> Master of Waves. I want to believe. I love the set so far, there are a good number of cards that I'm pretty excited to get into my Cube. Nothing really making me...

Kothophed, Hoarder of Souls 4BB Legendary Creature - Demon Flying Whenever a permanent owned by another player is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, draw a card and you lose 1 life. 6/6 I love him. Definition of Suicide Black.

Chandra's parents are awesome. A Siege Gang variant that makes evasive tokens and can sac ANY artifact to fling for 2. This card is sweet.

Holy crap he's awesome. Literally flips from aggro to control. What a beast.

Not a single one. There has to be a real edge gained if I'm running 2-drops that require such an early commitment, and I don't see any I'd really want in white. Anafenza does seem pretty sweet, will probably try her out sometime. Other colors though? Bloodghast ash zealot eidolon of the great...

Why do they waste great art on mediocre cards so often? Nils Hamm is great.

MM2 is the definition of a lottery. I'll probably play a draft or two to check it out since I've got a bunch of store credit, but I would not be a fan of paying for a draft. Sealed is probably your best best of coming out even if you're looking to pull value. 3 packs is too few to reliably hit...
