Spikeshot has become identified by my drafters as a counterburn card. Gelectrode that's a mana dump instead of value. Cheaper flamekin spitfire, I suppose. Durdliest story I've got concerning it was someone playing reckless charge and something like blood lust, can't remember the actual card...

When I was 14ish I made my first "real" internet-related account in the form of a steam account. I really liked half life so I set my icon to the orange-on-black lambda used as the game's icon. I just try to use the same pic/name wherever they're required as some form of internet integrity or...

I won't lie, finding cards like pygmy hippo and citadel of pain that seem cool but essentially do nothing 90something% of the time make me slightly wish for mana burn. IIRC Mana burn is actually life loss, so no.

I played a peasant cube with t.mage to get Hankyu so my soliton could shoot my opponent right in the eye. Was neat. As far as the average cube goes I've only ever seen it get tinker fodder.

I believe my default was doubling cube instead when I joined.

When I first made my list (without doing a single bit of research) I gave the colors strong identities/curve, then sprinkled support for archetypes to flavor. Red and white were both very front-heavy, average cmc was something like 2.2 in 120 cards (both colors). Blue and black were very...

er... those and worldspine wurm all make the same mono-green token. Only grove of the guardian and voice of resurgence make green and white tokens from that block.

I have some news for you about goyf's price... I'm afraid of slamming my list with narrow enablers, so the 'build-around' archetypes I do have are very weak. Despite cutting 4 of my colors to 2.5 average cmc, a 4-color midrange battle always manages to emerge from drafts.

Uh... what? Is this a modo thing?

I tried peel from reality without knowing that card exists. Requiring targets was miserable but I'm not convinced this would be any less miserable often enough. Feels like it would have very similar moments to using an edict on something 'meh' in response to something you don't want to edict...

How does that work? Without his target he only loses a single tick of +1/+1, right? (Unless the target was already carrying an aura I guess) I haven't seen him in aura-heavy cubes so he's usually just a crusader of odric, and I think there's at least one more-interesting "play a load of...

I guess there's one in ajani vs. nic b AND heroes vs. monsters.

Black's lands suck?!?! BOOOOOM Yeah they suck

I don't hate it, especially if you're pushing life gain. Don't forget to keep that griffon token, it's the only one! And it's a real card since it's from a duel deck, not a 'fake' tip card thing.

Well, it's a nonbo if your producer is dead, but I wouldn't consider it a nonbo if you're just getting your tokens back anyways. Angelic destiny is probably fair with its toned-down rancor trigger, but I hate that card. I've just never seen or played what felt like a fun or good game where it...

Was given a copy of this relatively recently, just found it again. ghostway I guess the closest comparison is rootborn defenses, but ETB triggers are stronk. Thoughts?

I'm sure most of them are vanilla creatures we'd glaze over, but here's a list.

I ran this before bonfire was released, swapped it for bonfire, then cut miracles and brought it back in. THEN no one wanted to play it, so it got cut and now rotates with violent ultimatum. Lavalanche

I ran w-wargate in my alpha list for funsies. It got picked a lot but never really did anything but be super bad search for tomorrow, but it got picked a lot so I hesitated to cut it for far too long. People just kept trying to make it work.

Don't worry, I'll live through CML's disagreements as long as they don't take up more than half a total page's length! I'll admit I did write a response, but decided to just not post it; no one else seemed interested in the topic and I get the impression not much ever changes CML's mind...
