It gets better if UB is attacking. That may or may not be related to the number of brainstorms. Like you could be running 20 brainstorms, he's still going to cost you life. ...and the other 99% of the time? :P My favorite memory of this card was being on 1 life against 2 dudes, passing with...

Probably not something worth building a deck around, but they're a decent tool Actual tappers are nice since they play nicely in aggro as well to stop blocking. Control decks want them more on noncreature spells (Icy Manipulator, Maze of Ith, Martial Law), since that pressures your opponent...

Academy sucks unless lore seeker is opened in pack 1?

Friends don't let friends run Psychatog. Card is aweful in draft. RW: Boros Reckoner UB: Dragonlord Silumgar, Havengul Lich (Not actually convinced lich is good) Don't know if I like forbidden alchemy much, it's hella slow and there's better ways to get stuff in your graveyard if you want...

Yeah, because thats necessary :P

Feeling of Dread sounds waaaaaaay more like an aggro card than a control card

Pacifism? Well Oblivion Ring, more charitably. I can't really think of a white card a control deck would want to play that wasn't a removal spell, wrath or walker, since the difference between which generic 6 mana creature you use to finish the game means bugger all. Maybe like, Tithe?

Well I mean this is my cube, I have most of it already in foil :P I dunno. I've made foil proxies of Goyf and Lilianna already, and I probably would have made one of Jace TMS if FTV20 hadn't come out, or Rolling Earthquake if Annihilation hadn't done the same thing. Doa Thread idea: 10 most...

I've been long contemplating taking the transparencies to any card over X$ in my cube. I don't think I could bring myself to proxy the whole thing since each of these takes so long, but if I slash everything over 20$ or something I could make some real headway. Maybe after I'm done moving

It has better visibility. I'm not sure the average channelfireball reader would take kindly to Freeware Magic, let alone whoever is the content manager thesedays.

I was just going for comments on them. You know, stuff you like, stuff you didn't like, etc. I think if we want card by card analysis of the whole thing we'd post the list ourselves :P

I think the optimal enviornment for Dak Fayden would include 0 artifacts. Even if you're just stealing a signet, that's an insane beating

Maybe sage of fables would be better served by being a proper size Novijen Sages, like a 4/4 for 4, or something. Actually, if it's removing 2 counters, maybe the :1: isn't necessary at all. That could be cool, and it gives it the hidden mode of being like 2UU: divination :P

Dak's Duplicate is something I can vouch for. Hastey Clone might have been worth it anyways, (especially if titans are available) but dethrone is suprisingly relavant, giving your creature the edge it needs to beat the origional some of the time.

Yeah Tectonic Edge is perfectly fine gameplay wise, but it's still quite expensive due to modern. What's the next step down? Ghost Quarter? Strip Mine? (Probably the next step down in budget, not in gameplay)

Yeah I've got these two: Gelectrode Ral Zarek I dunno, I like mr bolty-rampy-tappy-survives wildfire over here. Gelectrode is mostly a concession to my drafters, but prowess has been sweet, so maybe it's an awesome card I've never fully had the support for

I've actually had a lot of success with Root-Kin. are people just not able to construct decks where a high percentage of their creatures have counters on them, or do you think that green (or maybe that spot on the curve) isn't where decks that have the creatures he asks for are looking for that...

How well does the Penny Pincher cube translate into MODO grillo? I'm not too familiar with the differences in price, but my brain remembers some random cards being a million bucks online and pennies in paper because of the weirdness of old set releases on MODO. If your cube doesn't happen to...

Deffs yes! I mean that's a lot of writing, so I'd totally be down for it to be a 2 parter, but why certain entries didn't get picked can be more enlightening than why the winner won

You mean Specifically UR Multicolored, or sweet blue and/or red spells? Planeswalkers I've cut in ever: Ajani Steadfast: I like him, and I think Goldmane is a bit too good at just being an anthem and little else, but the +1 is really mediocre without a dedicated "building tall" deck. It...
