I am the #1 recurring nightmare hater. An overlooked reason it's dumb is that you can NEVER kill it, since bouncing it is part of the activation and not part of the effect. But it's an infinite loop of ETB and death triggers for the low low cost of 3 mana. It's so powerful to loop even the...

Curse is fantastic. Makes dorks threatening very quickly.

I really did not need to read that

Not discarding on the first pass is probably ok but re-using the discarded cards almost completely destroys the "did he take that or was it discarded" bit.

Disclaimer: My cube is a 540 so its small pools can be a lot worse than small cubes. Tried this over the weekend a few times. I'm ok with only seeing your opponent's pack once, but random discards can be extremely annoying. We talked about it during and after the first time, and multiple times...

My two cents about war monk is that noble hierarch into him has been the cause of many jaw-clenches in these parts. That 4-butt is so relevant in my list. He was also the original reason flame slash made my very first prototype list; war monk was a commonplace rdw board card at my shop so I...

I'm 23, play with friends and shop regulars. Sometimes some guy from before I started going there (4 years?) will show up, and everyone will just invite him without saying anything to me, but no one has been rude when I introduce myself so I always let them play. They're usually pleasant...

I don't get the porn horn but Oreskos is almost Oreos? I don't really get it either.

Ion storm?? Oh jeez I must have shoved that card into the back of my brain after a random guy I met at college had a casual-level deck that wrecked MY casual-tuned deck with THIS. And remembering THAT is flashing me back to a friend I've lost touch with trying to force as many interactions...

That's what I get for retyping the whole thing. Per week. Sometimes people will just go absolutely ham and want to cube 6 times in one day, if everyone is there early enough. It's a little absurd.

Anywhere between 0 and 8 times. My store has a lot of PTQ hopefuls who go to everything they can, so sometimes there's only crickets. I have friends that are always willing to 4-man on weekends but that's awkward and 2 of them have never not jammed blue as hard as they can. I also recently...

I think forecast mechanically is just bad too often to really- Oh. WELL. While the forecast still seems kinda slow to me the guy himself is almost a dragon.

Oh shit I remember making a rainbow stairwell deck with didgeridoo and all the good changelings... good times. P.S. trinket mage

Born of the Green: Fanatic of Xenagos Kiora, the Crashing wave Courser of Kruphix Nessian Wilds Ravager Likely candidates for my stupid "this looks cool foil" binder: Akroan skyguard, Ephara's Radiance, Glimpse of the Sun God, Ornitharch, Sunbond, Odunus River Trawler, Epiphany Storm...

Ask your local store for the tutorial decks wizards ships out every year; they're 40-card core set peasant decks, one for each color, and they're supposed to be free. I use them to teach people all the time, and they're pretty great at reflecting each color's abilities. Honestly I have...

Equally bad idea: Overstock on forests and have a lost in the woods in-list.

"Crush them with it" is the local standard here.

I run a handful and they're great. Disclaimer of my cube being generally low-power. I think the 'problem' with combat tricks is effectively thousandfold: Removal is extremely good in most lists, aggro weenies get outclassed beyond the ability of most combat tricks very quickly, and tricks are...

The mill god already has a friend of mine making a BUG list so he can use tower defense... Chromanticore has been dubbed "Badderskull" among my friends.

I've played with multiple lists that have this effect and I dislike it. I think it cheapens deckbuilding, drafting, and managing your list. This tactic is mostly used to make storm "more draftable" and to let people have hawk-like cards that reference themselves but I've seen everything...
