    Depends a bit on your cube. Tidehollow Sculler bleeds zombies and artifacts into your white section, which might be desirable. High Priest of Penance is a nice wall though.

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Turns out the original Woodland Heretic was kind of a dud because it never got to proliferate, so I tried out a replacement that proliferated when attacking. Turns out that was horribly overpowered when I tested it out in a Golgari shell with Gravecrawler and other stuff to trigger it multiple...

    Obligatory link to my own cube thread: Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube This won't get you foils, just matte cards, but they look pretty nice.

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Looking for one or two aggro-friendly equipment cards that don't just kill aggro if a midrange or control deck picks one up. Bonesplitter is fantastic, but Grafter Wargear does not have the desired impact (that's to say, it's, to my surprise, too strong). So far I came up with these two...

    Hythonia the Cruel is also pretty funny.

    Massacre Wurm looks much better to me.

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    Increased cost from {3}{W}{W} to {4}{W}{W}. This was closing out games a bit too quick, even with only one other enchantment. If you played this on turn 4 (say off a mana rock) and followed it up with more enchantments it was pretty much game over. Edit: Followed Chris's suggestion and...

    I totally forgot splicers and warriors, those are well supported as well. I agree with Grillo on both points.

    General Generic Tribal

    The problem with tribal is the incentive cards suck unless a good part of your deck supports that tribe, and picking cards that supports that tribe usually means you have to ship better cards. So you water down your cube with payoff cards that end up making your deck worse. The two exceptions to...

    Not the dredge list with Tortured Existence? Man, that deck was sweet. "I pay {b} and discard this Golgari Brownscale in my hand to return the one in my graveyard, gain 2 life. Oh hey, I got five more Swamps!" Crypt Rats and Spore Frogs protect you against creature attacks, big Eldrazi and...

    Article Learning From Pauper – Rethinking Archetype Design

    Mostly aura's I think. It's generally a combination of "you can't touch this" and "putting all your eggs in one basket". Like putting Angelic Destiny on Geist of Saint Traft. Real fun games ahead!

    To be fair, excelling at anything requires a serious investment in time. You are not going to earn cash in DotA by playing every other weekend unless something else comes up. I can't argue with the money part though, Magic is indeed an expensive hobby. It also holds much more long lasting appeal...

    Onderzeeboot's Khans of Alara WUBGR Cube

    I updated a few cards based on my playtest games, and added two new ones. Revised: Zotan got upgraded with Reach. Played him against a deck with a lot of flyers, and it felt extremely silly that he could kill one, and then... die. Ruric Thar's Command did 6 damage to the dome, but that...

    I thought Brussels was quite nice by the way, but then again, I went there on a city trip and saw only the nice parts I guess.

    Not at all. In fact, Necromancy is by far my favorite reanimation spell. I love it so much, there was a time I doubled up on it. Most powerful reanimator spells are a bit too fast. I don't mind a single copy of the fair and versatile Life // Death, but adding Reanimate, Exhume and Animate Dead...

    I've never escaped the comforting clutches of local FNM, prereleases and kitchen table Magic. Attending a Grand Prix (which I assume is similar in experience?) has always been on my bucket list, but each time I have/had the chance to go, I come up with a million ways to better spend my money.

    Yeah, it makes a bit of difference, and it's on a split card, so it's a bit more versatile. I think I recently mentioned Life + Goblin Bombardment, for example :)

    I hate it when they do that.

    I like Ambuscade Shaman and Primal Forcemage together with ninja's, unearth, and haste stuff (Concordant Crossroads, Garruk, Primal Hunter) :)
