It's really odd for me to see Spirit Cairn hyped. I mean... Spirit Cairn {2}{w}{w} for one 1/1 flyer is a horrible, horrible deal. {2}{w}{w}{w} for two 1/1 flyers is still a horrible deal. {2}{w}{w}{w}{w} for three 1/1 flyers... Is still a horrible deal. {2}{w}{w}{w}{w}{w} for four 1/1...

I'll let you in on a secret, don't tell anyone you got this from me, but these two reanimator spells are really, really sweet! necromancy Necromancy That's right, three mana is the sweet spot for reanimation spells in my mind, not too fast, not too slow, and this is the only playable option at...

I think the difference between putting the tutored card in hand and putting it on top of your library (i.e. card parity vs card disadvantage) is real. It's definitely worth it if you're tutoring for crazy shit like Moat or Sword of Fire and Ice, but the less game-breaking your targets are, the...

I pushed all my artifact mana to 3+ mana a while ago, and Seer's Lantern went straight into my cube. The effect is extremely pleasing in long games :)

1. eldrazi skyspawner / growth spasm 2. arc lightning / fire imp / ghitu slinger

Definitely not, in my experience. I run 9 per guild with 5 supported guilds plus 10 trilands that you get when you draft the corresponding three color card, so 55/450.

See, these are the interactions I love to hear about. All I've ever seen Gavony Township do is "Hur Dur Dur. I got creatures on the battlefield. Guess I'll grow them! Hur Dur Dur. My creatures are now bigger than yours. Attack!" Sure, it's kinda cute when you can use it with persist creatures...

Yeah, I had Gavony Township in my ULD, but it's really strong and hard to remove. Don't know if I want to try it out again, but I thought about it. I'm more likely to run the RW one though, whatsitsname? Ah, Slayer's Stronghold!

I like quite a bit more actually. I currently run: eldrazi displacer blinding drone dimensional infiltrator deepfathom skulker bearer of silence essence depleter kozilek's shrieker vile redeemer mindmelter matter reshaper thought-knot seer reality smasher endbringer spatial contortion spatial...

I used to cube Kher Keep, and it saw a bit of play in red Smokestack decks, but other than that it was pretty much never picked. 0/1's just don't have much of an impact, so the card is pretty niche in its applications. Much better if you run a decent amount of anthems though I imagine.

I've been looking for a {c} support land in white, which currently runs Windbrisk Heights in its utility land slot, which is certainly strong enough, and I saw Kor Haven. Now white can be pretty controlling in my cube, but the two colorless cards (a customized Gelid Shackles and Eldrazi...

Keldon Necropolis Has anyone any experience with this card? I remember it being pretty good reach back in the day, but six lands is not where you want to be in the deck that benefits most from this effect (aggro). Is this at all playable? Does the arrival of {c} change any of that? Pretty...

Suspend is coolest in blue and red, now that surge is a thing. I actually reincluded Riftwing Cloudskate and Rift Bolt for that very reason. They team up nicely with Epochrasite! :) Holy crap, I just realized one of my customs totally needs to have a faux "suspend" mode. That last mode...

This front page article by CML may be two years old, but it still holds. I wouldn't say it's complete, there are certainly oppressive cards, like the Swords of X & Y, that aren't in his list, but everything in there is oppressive, and you're still running his number 2 and 3. Unless you are...

No, but the protection bit is. Very.

Well... It's a 5/10 reach for 4G, except parts break off in combat and it's mostly invulnerable to pinpoint removal but dies to Pyroclasm. Ehm... Hard to evaluate. Why not use Spider Spawning?

I think I first picked Goggles in one of my draft, I just <3 that card :)

Not really a theme, but there's still a few cards that only reward you if you jump through some really convoluted hoops, and give the impression you support themes that aren't well supported in reality: Serra Ascendant (convoluted, and suggests lifegain as a theme), Hidetsugu's Second Rite (hard...

I have just drafted the weirdest deck. I doubt that Titania, Protector of Argoth is a good fit for your fetch-less environment, but the prospect of going eot Chord of Calling for Sylvan Safekeeper is pretty terrifying! o_O

I love the intentional misspelling :)
