Kamahl, Fist of Krosa and Cloudthresher are 'the sheriff and the deputy' of my cube. I'm not sure who first labeled them as such or why but from then on whenever someone flashed in the thresher and decimated their opponent's board of fliers they always make firing-revolvers-into-the-air motions...

Ruric thar is great. Changes game plans, slaps control's face off, etc. I love playing that guy in standard, too. Sovereigns is a little wonky but I've peppered auras from boar umbra to griffin guide throughout my list and they've been well-received. I actually cut progenitor mimic because it...

Ruric Thar, the Unbowed, Sovereigns of Lost Alara, Prime Speaker Zegana, Spiritmonger... wait that's a 5 that's better than most 6s!

Is mycoloth not good enough? He seems kind of insane to me, especially if you have other effects that give counters like varolz, the scar-striped

The best I've seen breaking point do is follow up a control player's wrath-big girl line of play. Control tanked for a bit, staring at the fetters/venser combo in his hand, then took the 6 and died to mountain-bolt-fireblast for the exact 13 because sometimes they have it all.

What do you guys think of do or die and breaking point? Very strange little choice-making cards... I normally don't like letting your opponent choose but both cards are very low cmc and have very powerful effects. I had breaking point at my cube's inception and it received mostly positive...

It's pretty odd... it's a tutor that you can't really use to dig yourself out of a hole like most tutors. Besides reanimation enabling I've seen some pretty odd packages with it; I really like that you can get things like eternal witness and recollect along with the 'real' cards you want when...

Ophiomancer is annoying without being oppressive, but I cut toxic deluge after multiple balance-type games where one player could just not commit to the board and many-for-one their opponent for a few mana and life. The major difference between Sudden demise and the other sweeps you listed is...

Hey man this one time someone made a stasis deck with ral and promptly never won a single thing ever. I can't actually think of anything, even briarhorn was pretty sweet in his day... clearly the answer is the almighty brushstrider

My black is not aggressive, and there are other similar effects for 'bigger' black like Vela, the night-clad and profane command. If black ever gets aggro stuff again in my cube he will be an auto-include, I already picked up my foil for that reason.

Do you not like Sphinx of Lost Truths or Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir? As for my theros cards, I'm still working with Soldier of the Pantheon Elspeth, Sun's Champion Thassa, God of the Sea Dissolve Bident of Thassa Hero's Downfall Read the Bones Firedrinker Satyr Hammer of Purphoros Purphoros, God...

I just look at my sections and ask myself "do people want to play this card?" honestly. I have the biggest gold section I know of, with a whopping 20 3-color cards (3 from each shard and 1 from each other pie) Multicolor aggro is the shit and I support it heavily I have cards that reward heavier...

Land D is entirely red and green in my cube. I run molten rain, pillage, avalanche riders, destructive force , acidic slime, terastodon, woodfall primus, and mold shambler. The only land-breaking lands I have are ghost quarter and tectonic edge. After watching far too many games end simply...

My cube is very multicolor and I can say nightscape familiar in particular can be absolutely disgusting. One-mana mana leak? Three-mana turn and burn? Every version of incinerate becomes lightning bolt, etc. etc. My favorite play I've seen someone make in a control mirror is turn 3 familiar into...

This'll be interesting. White is mostly aggro (hatebears included) with control support/finishers and some spot removal. Blue is draw/filter/tutor, aggro/tempo support with flying/curiosity/unblockable, counters and finishers. Black is spot removal, tutors, big mana for finishers/dumps it also...

I feel like it is low-power obelisk of alara-type durdling. You might be all "AW YEAH GOT THE BOW" when your opponent is playing 1/1 fliers.dec or you've stalled them into 3 life a turn being a fog, but the activations are very weak and 'attackers have deathtouch' doesn't mean much for your...

This is my experience with the format. One local had a mental magic stack that was relatively popular until a couple people went super serious, and everyone else just lost interest.

I don't like loam either, it just doesn't do enough. One local cube owner has been forcing it for years, drafts it as often as he can and only ever wins off the back of lingering souls tokens and civic wayfinder beats, with the occasional crucible of worlds / strip mine lock on a control player...

I had a set made but I can't seem to dig them up. I think one of the things people don't even ask themselves about designing these is "do I want tectonic edge to matter?" Clearly the worldwake manlands all had a minimum 3-cmc activation so if they could activate tec edge could kill them. Does...

Only one card I have ever played with made me not regret self-milling. I had both deathrite shaman and relic of progenitus to filter so it was kind of insane.
