I've played it once and I enjoyed it. When we played it did take a long time, maybe 5 hours, but we were both playing for the first time so I think with experience you could get it down to 2-3 hours. Really want to play again.

My favourite FTK play was watching someone hit a Phyrexian Negator with it.

It's also kind of cool with artifact lands in the ULD.

Narcomoeba

How about BB Menace, Deathtouch 2/1

t1: Goblin, t2: Hardened Scales, Servant of the Scale?

Maybe cards with Panglacial Wurm's ability?

I already have plans for if (when) I don't Day 2, but I'll probably be wondering around the Excel for a while if I scrub out early on Day 1.

hey I came up with a good nickname for Pia and Kiran Nalaar: Whirler Rouge. Feel free to use it if you like. Well, bye!

A pet card of mine (though probably not cubeable) Last Laugh

Anafenza plus Hangarback Walker seems sweet! I just played Thopters. The deck is cool, if swingy and draw dependent. I'm running it back for GP London as well.

Thragtusk in particular is a pretty funny example to use as a tempo card because iirc he was printed specifically to combat Delver tempo decks and their Vapor Snags. And I quite enjoy these theory discussions, although this might have taken over the thread a bit, I think it's interesting to...

I guess what I'm getting at is that a card being able to gain you tempo does not make it a "tempo card", being a card that would fit into a "tempo deck".

Sure, if you define a tempo play as any play that advances your own game plan whilst setting back your opponent, but then I feel like the vast majority of plays fall into this category so it's not all that useful as a definition.

We're Lost in a Labyrinth

I'm not sure I can see any scenario where Thragtusk is a tempo card. It's like the definition of a midrange card: a good stabilization tool against aggro and a resilient threat against control, allowing you to take different rolls in those matchups. See also Kitchen Finks, Huntmaster of the...
