    General Nonessential staples? (and Gruul cards)

    Epochrasite does have more interesting Pod synergy (in both directions), and it kind of a goofy Cascade target.

    General Nonessential staples? (and Gruul cards)

    Sac Hangarback get a 1-drop? Or sac a -1-drop, get Hangarback, morbid trigger? Aristocrats is very much a thing in my cube, but there's also already so much other shit that can be sacrificed. Maybe I should just make room for some ZEN manlands.

    So what would your 6 white lands be?

    You like Eiganjo over Karakas? I think the main use of Karakas is Clique / Venser recursion.

    3, there's just a lot I want to do with it is all.

    General Nonessential staples? (and Gruul cards)

    There are, but Voice is the workhorse. Blue tempo / velocity / whatever is a major incentive to what is kind of a fan-favorite archetype over here. I don't see it ever leaving the list to be honest. I think the cube loses character without Geist.

    Geist is essential to blue aggro. Clique is my candidate for "best designed Magic card". Pod doesn't exist without Voice of Resurgence. I'm not really sure what Spellskite is for. EDIT: Also tell me what to do about Gruul.

    I still don't get why nobody even tests Arrogant Bloodlord.

    Proposed replacements for Toxic Deluge, Jace and Hangarback? Can be anything really. It may just be that we say "if you want to wipe the board for less than 4 mana, play red".

    Suggested FoW replacement? I could just slot in another 2-mana counter, but I would rather have one with some play to it if possible.

    Hmm.. it actually got played 100% of the time in my paper cube. Especially with 2.5 Fetches, it was used a lot like Ponder. Rearrage, draw the one you want, fetch away the rest. Hmmm, this is difficult.

    General Nonessential staples? (and Gruul cards)

    Just looking at the MODO cube list. Which of these (pricey) cards would you consider non-essential to a cube list? Do you have proposed alternatives? I don't want to cut a lot of corners, but if people have ideas, I am open to them. Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Force of Will Liliana of the Veil...

    Somewhere around half a dozen. About the same as the last contest.

    Yeah, I mean, point taken. Gideon was rarely in our 3-0 decks, but it's been a while since I've run the list, so I'll definitely keep an eye on him when we start running the MODO drafts.

    Okay, I definitely don't want ot be running more than 6 of a single monocolor. Which lands would you guys cut for Blighted White and Blighted Blue?
