Wasteland

My cube has an anti red-aggro personality, so I have won an obscene number of drafts with RX aggro decks. They don't play them more, so my answer has been to make red decks more fun to play. Fixing and stuff like Slayers Stronghold go a long way.

I think multi-Brainstorm is the simplest and most elegant way to boost control without boosting midrange or hampering aggro. The card also has like, a bajillion interactions and makes games better. CML it's well possible your Utility Land Draft has too much fixing.

I particularly like how the Vigilance on the tokens isn't a static Brimaz ability. They need to be vigilant even (especially?) after their lord is dead.

Because 1/1 tokens need to have Vigilance. You know, for the new Brimaz Opposition archetype.

Seriously though, Vigilance + attacking trigger? Super difficult decision trees there.

The problem is that the lifegain deck is an attacking deck. This card is just... bleh.

Yeah, I would go with Doom Blade or something like that here. Cleansing Beam seems pretty unplayable.

Could they print a card with any less play to it?

Is the trigger worded correctly? Can't you pay the cost with Vandal Camp before it gets tapped?

Seems a bit pointless too. Give each of your creatures a restricted 50% version of the Primeval Titan trigger? Yay?

I don't think this is a very solid argument at all. Sure, there may be a best, but it might not be a "feel bad" best, or it might not be as much of an outlier in the power scale. I do think as cube designers we should discuss more whether a) we even really need artifacts strong enough to...

Exactly! But I love me some DRS. Also, I really get more excited when I see *BS threads active than any other. I don't know why. I love me some BS threads. They could have anything in them, which is some pretty sweet potential.

Let's break it down. So, the opponent's creatures losing First Strike is super irrelevant. Giving your own creatures first strike is cool, but, there's another duder that gives this sort of effect: Silverblade Paladin I guess the question comes down to how clogged your boards are. I don't...

I've been slowly re-introducing some broken stuff into my cube. Shackles is very good, and has given rise to a 2 - 0 - 1 Ug Tempo deck and a 2 - 1 Ub control deck in the last two drafts. It's super powerful when 75% of you lands are islands of some sort. But these decks were never that great...

Wait is there a playable Archetype card in this set? Also, I feel like that naming scheme is very confusing, design wise. Oh right, the First Strike dude. MTGS style, anybody want to rank him power-level wise among white's 3-drops?

It's an intersection between Double Strike and something something. Maybe if it cantripped.

One thing I wish custom cards would do more is to excite me as a player, rather than just provide an appropriate amount of power on a variation of an existing effect. I know that's difficult though, because some of my favorite cards I would think were ridiculous if they weren't "WOTC...

Yeah, it's fine, and as Eric mentioned, people manage to find their splash color to activate both sides of Deathrite. The green side has become much more relevant with the lifegain update. I would certainly play it in a non-black deck.

More like 22/360 (two in the utility land pile), along with a playset of Wastelands... hard to say, but I probably wouldn't run 2. It's not super reliable ramp with a lower density, but it still does a ton of work. 1-drops that can close out games without attacking are fairly special.
