So... It's been pretty swell for you then? ... Ok, I'll see myself out...

http://www.mtgsalvation.com/articles/47161-the-magic-street-journal-wizards-always-hurts-the Not all is bad on that site (far from it), this article is a pretty boss analysis!

Well, I use "My Printer" for all of my proxies, so suck on it Kinko's!

What's Kinko's? (I can Google, it's just that apparently Kinko's withdrew from the Netherlands in 2008, so it's been a while that I could print something there)

Come on man, you're no fun!

Nah, Spikeshot Elder asks for a ton of mana, Spikeshot Goblin can't do the double damage trick at six mana (and four red at that in a cube that pushes three color decks), but its cheap activation cost is clutch.

Humble Defector is just an interesting card to fool around with, and I don't want to cut a two-mana creature (i.e. I would want to replace it with another two drop). Spikeshot Goblin is super powerful in the equipment deck. With Bonesplitter it becomes Lightning Bolt on a stick, which demands an...

Main thing with Last Rites is that it's card disadvantage. You really have to make use of those discarded lands, otherwise you're just down a card. I can't remember this seeing play in Odyssey-era standard, and that format was full of graveyard value plays. Stupor would be a better card at that...

I know... Honestly I'm looking for another cut, but my sections are so tight because of the whole multicolor thing. I should probably just go ahead and cut Fledgling Dragon. It's a pet card of mine, and I still pass it every time...

After the feedback I decided to cut two other cards entirely to make room for all four. One of the cards I cut is *gasp* Goblin Bombardment, a card we all know is secretly too strong. Right? #PainfulCuts

The promo art is super sexy but the card is rather underwhelming, even in my zombie tribal environment. Perilous Myr is twice, nay twenty times the card this is.

Not to mention that Qarsi High Priest has a fragile, useless body, which makes it much easier to remove than Leap, and, more importantly, has an activation cost of two mana, making it a lot harder to keep open mana to nullify a removal spell.

Fledgling Dragon is also a very, very good card if you hit threshold! I just adore that card so much.

Which is more fun/better? Fledgling Dragon Shower of Coals vs Flametongue Kavu Blasphemous Act Cube contains both lots of draw & discard (or discard & draw) and Boros Reckoner/Spitemare.

Chris makes a good point. I run five Evolving Wilds in my ULD, plus City of Brass, Mana Confluence and Myriad Landscape, so every player can at least get one fixing land if they want. This checks out with Chris's math of 60 cards. Since you said you are going to run an LD as well, I'ld recommend...

Ok, a new one then. Your first four picks were: Necromancy Keiga, the Tide Star Mulldrifter Crystal Shard What do you pick: Brainstorm Temple Garden Life // Death Sultai Charm Boros Reckoner Counterspell Deal Broker Spiritmonger Supplant Form Flametongue Kavu Myr Battlesphere

- I ran 55 in my 450 for a while and got the complaint there were too many lands in the packs. I've gone down to 50 myself, but I explicitly support three-color decks. On average your drafters will see (360/450*50/8 =) 5 duals per player with that number, which certainly should enable a 3-color...

Important question time: How big is this theoretical cube?

Everything but the activation cost. Sheesh, 8 mana for a 1/1 if your opponent doesn't run untargeted discard?

If that question was directed at me: Wayfarer's Bauble Wayfarer's Bauble Pristine Talisman Hedron Archive Hedron Archive Gilded Lotus Pyromancer's Goggles Plus a cross between Obelisk of Grixis and Gem of Becoming. And no, I don't cube Upheaval, nor Wildfire.
