Yeah, I know, but there was a time when I was in fourth grade and everyone was playing yugioh. Then, in middle school, kids started playing MtG, so it took over then :P
I remember from back in the days when we used to play Yugioh (before MtG took over) and I always hated the weird wording, that was inconsistent and sounded like they put the japanese straight into Google translator.
Magic is great.
Well, the repeatable life pay effects can become pretty painful in a deck with no life gain. Cards like Phyrexian Reclamation or Graveborn Muse actually do make me prioritize life gain more. And they make it less likely that I would pick up more and more cards, that cost me life. So a {W}{B}...
I'm already running these life gain effects:
And these "pay offs":
If I'd add also these three:
Syndic of Tithes Karlov of the Ghost Council Greed
Would that be enough in a 500-card cube to have an actual theme you could draft around? I try to figure out, if these changes would...
Would you guys run it over Haunted Plate-Mail? Because this card is in the slot, I would else maybe play the Idol in. I already run Chimeric Mass (not going to cut it, the flexibility is huge) and I don't want 3 dudes like this.
I really like the idea of raising the number of cool black cards with life payment and combining them with white life vain. Kinda intrigued to try something like this now. There are just too many cool archetypes for one cube.
How likely is a deck with no non-zombie creatures in your meta?
I think a lock with Reassembling Skeleton or Tenacious Dead is much more likely in my cube, even though I run a decent number of Zombies.
I considered adding this card a few times, never actually tried it. I like this card, because it works with Zombies or just with any sacrifice strategy. It is exactly the kind of tribal effects I enjoy in cube - not too linear and playable or even desireable potentially for decks with zero...
On a side note: What are the best payoff cards for lifegain
I only run this one, which is good in Tokens/Aggro because it enables itself:
Path of Bravery
I also used to run this guy:
Divinity of Pride
Was pretty strong, actually even too much in terms of stats while having super narrow...
@Onderzebots deck post: Well, I believe you it worked, but it looks to me like it shouldn't somehow. I bet it got some wins by casting Raptor or getting a Vinelasher big enough or even casting the non-aggro bomb PrimeTime before the wildfire?
In a regular aggo deck, you're pretty likely...
