General Fight Club

[Velrun]

I can say that the deck I forced in the last draft did not have enough lifegain effects

Was it a 360 card cube?

 

[Rowan_CB]

Forced WB lifegain on my cube on cubetutor and ended up with this:

WB Lifegain from CubeTutor.com

I think I'd have fun playing this deck!

One recent switch I made that I like for lifegain decks was bringing in Recumbent Bliss for Faith's Fetters. It's generally better in the lifegain deck that looks for "whenever you gain life" triggers like Ajani's Pridemate, while being less generically good, meaning it's still useful to any white player but less likely to be snapped up early by someone who's not drafting lifegain.

[Onderzeeboot]

Chimeric Idol is my fav, even though it might not be the better of the two cards.

 

[Peter LaCara]

vs

I'm leaning toward angel here. Dissuade me.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Dissuade me.

No. The white Gearhulk is terrible, Sunblast Angel is sweet! Talking from experience here, as I have tried both in previous iterations of my cube.

 

[sigh]

These days I'm not sure that either/any of this kind of effect is required. What deck is it going in that it really adds to, you know? Gearhulk has stayed in mine due to Artifact synergies, but could see replacing it with a variety of other things. Like that new Ajani, for instance.

I agree....I've run and cut both of those cards for being largely irrelevant. That new Ajani is super intriguing.

 

[Peter LaCara]

Alright then. If you're looking for a good top end for white control decks, what would you like in their place? Something along the power level of Angel of Glory's Rise.

 

[Velrun]

VS

Chimeric is the stronger card.
Haunted is the flavorful card.

My current fave is still linvala, the preserver

Why so low powered? Other colors have some loaded top end threats in your cube:


White control cards I've had reasonable to good success with at times:



Of the two you mentioned, I'd probably roll with Sunblast Angel.

 

[Peter LaCara]

Archangel Avacyn is still off the table, right? She's still too busted? I've got this FTV foil burning a hole in my binder.

 

[sigh]

Avacyn is busted. Especially next to your requested control of Angel of Glory's Rise

 

[inscho]

Yeah that's maybe the strongest white creature available in cube?

 

[Aston]

The strongest white creature in cube is Kor Skyfisher

(due to the presence of Oketra's Monument)

 

[Alfonzo Bonzo]

The six plus white creatures are overpowered or dull. Eternal dragon all the way, and fingers crossed for something suitable in the near future.

 

[Peter LaCara]

Avacyn is busted. Especially next to your requested control of Angel of Glory's Rise

But she's so shiny and cool! It's not fair that they pushed her beyond all reason. Can't a man enjoy goth angels in good conscience? *pouts*

Eternal Dragon is probably the way to go with all the graveyard interactions and the spirit theme. On the other hand, I have Elspeth, Sun's Champion and Approach of the Second Sun in there and maybe that's all the control finishers. I need.

 

[sigh]

Elspeth, Sun's Champ is probably more than enough. That card is also busted.

But yes, I'd tend to agree with you. I think you could look into doing something else with that particular slot. Eternal Dragon is a sweet option.

 

[Onderzeeboot]

I can vouch for Sentinel and Linvala, those have been good in my cube without being overwhelming.

 

[Alfonzo Bonzo]

Does anyone have experience with

 

[Peter LaCara]

I like planeswalkers in my cube to fill different niches from one another. With that in mind, pick two.

Deaths magesty and veil, but but I worry about veil.
Flip Lilli?

 

[Onderzeeboot]

Veil can be really powerful, but it's also unique. It's one of the very few planeswalkers in my cube.

 

[Aston]

I play Veil and Last Hope and they've both been really good. On power level at least they're the best two. I don't have any experience with Death's Majesty but I don't think I'd try it in my cube.
