I was thinking about starting a thread about red's "power 2 CMC card" but I think too many people are enamored with young pyromancer so it'd go nowhere, but I personally don't think that's on the level of the others. As far as cycles in a regular cube I run the obelisks for fixing and because...

I like vexing sphinx. It's cheap and big, but temporary. It's one of the more complex cards I've kept in my usually-played-by-new players cube, I always have to explain that the counters are added before they choose if they want to pay or not; he usually roadblocks for two turns then draws two...

The blue thread closes in on the month-old white thread's post count within a few hours... HMMMMM Blue is pretty similar to black in my cube. Its curve sucks but its cards are pretty much all powerful. I just realized the other day just how many versions of cryptic command I run. How many...

I know it isn't a 'funny card interactions' judge call, but at FNM a few weeks after RTR released a new player asked a judge "does my beast token really kill his centaur token? His guy's wearing armor and has a weapon!" I think the judge started at the guy for a full minute waiting for some...

I won't lie, I'm not convinced. I'm already stiff to breaking singleton, instead trying different directions before forcing something, and I don't feel like any of these carry or spawn new archetypes. They're either ways to make already-fine archetypes more consistent/powerful (GSZ...

I didn't know this was a thing... UG tempo is actually a fairly popular archetype among my players, and I'll admit that the other local player, whose decisions cube-wise I'm almost always at odds with, added a few cards I dismissed instantly but after watching him play it and playing against it...

I tried to push Totem Armor because it's a sweet effect but it still feels bad to get your creature bounced by any number of things, tapped, or stolen/pacified. It feels like average offensive auras are crushed by too many things to be good, and need to be extremely on-curve and powerful to ever...

I'm sideways on Erebos. His passive is pretty awful and his activation is so costly compared to the other gods.

I played this in standard in what I think was a Conley Woods brew, mostly proliferating these cards: Everflowing chalice Shrine of burning rage Koth of the Hammer Proliferate can be great, I'd give it a go. I mostly dislike phyrexian mana but drawing cards is bleh enough to me compared to...

Your link isn't updated, it's missing some of the stuff you listed. A local retired his gold cube before I could fill his brain with my nonsense, so I've been holding on to my w-w-wall of cards! Plumeveil Restless Apparition Hearthfire Hobgoblin Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers Wasp Lancer Crag Puca...

..."or" ?

Have tried it, it's worse than crystal ball so often. Players were optimistic at first but after everyone tried it we pretty much agreed that it's abysmal. Two mana activation is clunky, and the only mode you ever really want is ramp.

The nagi (accompanied by hand-chopping gesture and yodeling of its name at my LGS) was originally to let midrange and ramp decks push through token generators (no one likes swinging their briarhorn into a sorin token every turn), and after seeing it get cascaded into off a bloodbraid elf and...

I'll admit that the original backbone of my cube was my little collection of foil walkers (one of each) at the point when Mirrodin Besieged was the new set, and I just crammed them all in there and went to town, excluding only Nissa and Chandra-6. Needless to say it was pretty much the worst...

I run Agent and my players enjoy him. Unfortunately my players reject the utility land draft and I can't bring myself to add artifact lands to the actual list. As far as mana rocks go, I tried to use as many not-rock mana or fixing-related artifacts as I could, and it's going well. I also...

The recent tezz thread made me examine my list and this forum a bit more so it's time for some good old necros! I'm pretty sure both bonesplitter and mortarpod are a house, after playing with both for a couple years. I do this awful thing with my artifacts that I won't admit here but suffice...

Swift justice has been doling out uh... justice... since RTR in my list, and I don't even have that many tricks. The cache is one of the "here's a card that will table for control decks" pushes I made after watching one of my cube's first few drafts (along with the likes of condemn, wall of...

Just a few on-color cards that high-five this chick: Soldier of the Pantheon Lone Missionary Syndic of tithes Aven Riftwatcher Condemn Swift Justice Survival Cache Faith's Fetters Ajani Goldmane

Never ever scared to attack because you'll just get another one! It should probably say "if this card isn't a token" or some other clunky phrase so you can't pay twelve mana to attack with two 3/3s. Wait... 3/2 First strike (instead of firebreathing) and switching its colors with raging...
