...Chris is praising a Wizards product?! When can I expect the apocalypse?

Here we discuss individual cards in more detail than the passing mentions we often give them in threads. I'll start: Man, everyone loves Young Wolf Wild Mongrel! What a guy. Wild Mongrel's a card I'm going to be a running a full pack of. It's one of the premier 2-drops not just in green...

Nice, welcome Matt!

New list (different Cube on cubetutor) here: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubeblog/740 I think 540 is about the right size, so some stuff needs to go. As much as it pains me to say, taking out the Storm stuff would bring the size down and make the Cube a bit more consistent overall... but it's...

I'd rather run Vivids over trilands but I'd make an exception for Murmuring Bosk. A fetchable wedge-land is sweet.

Warden of Evos Isle Creature - Bird Wizard Flying Creature spells with flying you cast cost less to cast. On Evos Isle, the swift and formidable aven enforce the will of the ruling sphinxes. Illus. Nils Hamm 2/2 It's a narrow and marginal cost reduction card, so naturally I'm in love with...

PMed it in article form to Jason.

I'll touch this up tomorrow (today? idk anymore. Time is a foreign concept at this point) and try and make it suitable for the front page.

re. fixing: I agree that one of the worst feelings in Cube is when you draft a Cube with too many gold cards and poor manafixing and end up with a kaleidoscopic mess with a basic-heavy manabase, but it doesn't have to be that way. The Cube I'm working on atm is gold-/fixing-heavy and the best...

I think you're right about Descendant. Typically the Lotus decks play like control decks for the first few turns so they should have more cards in hand. The problem isn't that, it's that the multicolour control decks that Descendant would be good in are terrible in this first iteration. If I can...

I think it's fine having all threads here for now. The worry with subforums is they end up with very few posts in them and it just looks awkward.

Yeah, Hawk comes with a posse. Descendant and Renewed Faith are both for the Gilded Lotus control decks which really want to have something good to play on the same turn off Lotus, and Descendant is a Human while the cycling on Renewed Faith works with the Miracle subtheme. Agree that Scepter...

I'll do a proper writeup and introduction for this in a week or so when finals are over, but I want to put this here for now to get people's first impressions. I want the finished product to be smaller but this is full of ideas I'm considering. Current project (as of Feb 2014)...

It's also really nice with Unfulfilled Desires.

For fun Domain cards there's Voices from the Void?

What has two thumbs and is good against Lingering Souls?

I see your Arc Trail, and raise you a Magus of the Tabernacle.

Of that list, I like: Thragtusk, Wurmcoil Engine, Faith's Fetters, Gideon Jura, Wurmcoil Engine, Lone Missionary, Obstinate Baloth, Lightning Helix, Carven Caryatid, Maze of Ith, Timely Reinforcements (it requires setup and intersects nicely with a lot of themes I'm pushing) I don't like: all...

They're not better against themselves, they're better against decks without them. Being able to double Edict/double discard/whatever combination you like in the same turn with a pair of Lilianas, and taking away one of the few reliable ways of killing Geist (Phantasmal Image) makes each of them...

Sure, but aggro also has Swords/Wargear, Skullclamp, planeswalkers (namely Elspeth/Koth), protection guys, more effective mana disruption/counterspells/discard, and so on.
