    I am very unhappy with the available options for Gruul. I like Bloodbraid Elf, because Cascade is fun when you are not chaining it. I like Stormbind, even though it doesn't seem to fit many decks. But I don't like anything else. There are some ok midrange creatures, some cards that seem...

    General The Draft Exchange

    I saw the possibility of drafting a UW blink deck but I found myself with too many enablers and not enough payoffs. I can gain some life but that won't make me win the game, only delay the inevitable. Fathom Seer seems somewhat slow, expensive and questioanble for the card advantage he provides...

    I knew your name sounded familiar. Do you play OpenTTD too? I think I've seen your avatar on their forums before.

    General Let's talk Storm (again?)

    I keep wondering what's the minimal support for the archetype. Here's a very old Extended list for inspiration: https://mtgtop8.com/event?e=8928&d=250941&f=EX As you can see, there's very little fast mana in the list. In fact, like all Extended storm decks, it's not so much a storm deck as it...

    General Let's talk Storm (again?)

    I think the biggest problem with Dragonstorm is that you need a good bunch of Dragons to put into play with it. Storm is not great from a strict gameplay perspective. It has little board presence, it's hard to interact with and leads to racing. But what I find interesting about Magic is not the...

    General [WAR] War of the Spark

    I just look and Teferi and think "Does this make the game more fun?" And I can't help but think the answer is "No".

    Charging Monstrosaur is great. He's simple, versatile, fits a wide range of strategies and is fun. Not much synergy or cool combinations going for him, but he doesn't need them!

    Ah Storm. The posterchild of parasitic archetypes. The deck that makes your cube worse and that leads to silly, uninteractive games and awful draft experiences. But some of us love it. To me, it's the most fun, interesting of all combo archetypes. It's a complex, non-deterministic puzzle that...

    Erik's "The cool side of Magic" cube

    I did some more changes and now I'm very happy with the direction my cube is going. I would even say it's getting close to finished and I'm going to start proxying cards soon. Anyways, some interesting ideas and changes. NOTABLE REMOVED CARDS Tolarian AcademyGaea's CradleBazaar of...

    Thanks for the suggestions. It's a bit surprising there isn't a "Exalted Angel withotu Morph" card around. I would run Dawnbringer, but having first strike makes her stupidly strong. I was mostly looking for a Lifelink flyer because I think BW control would benefit from it. It's an archetype I'm...

    I want a replacement for Exalted Angel to avoid having Morph. - No First strike - Strenght 4 or lower - Simple design. I'm looking for something that comes across as being a bit classic.
