Should be a ton of fun, and what a way to kick off the end of the school year (last day is the day we play) before going to Arizona and Las Vegas for the Modern Masters GP the next week!
Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5

Anyone going to GP Utrecht? I won't be able to bring my Cube and I will not have much time as I'm judging, but it would be nice to meet some of you people there, talk a bit about stuff and maybe even playing some games of Cube...
I actually was just going ask the same question. I have not posted much (at all?) to these boards but I've been lurking here for quite a few years. I'll be in Vegas, and I want nothing more than some hot hot cube action. If anyone is in Vegas and is looking for a couple of friendly extra cube folks (I'll have a friend with me) please give me a shout and I'll happily draft cube with you!
Between work, not having a playgroup to cube with, and saving money I haven't had a ton of cube in my life latley, but I still like droping by every once in awhile.
Well today I took the plunge into adulthood and bought a house. Just need to wait for the inspection and paperwork now.

Sweet! Congrats, dude! My first house buying process turned into a six month nightmare. I hope you get into yours sooner than I did. Becoming a home owner is one of the best decisions I ever made.
My wife and I are moving from our home in New Zealand to Amman, Jordan in about 8 weeks. We will be there to work for at least two years.
Despite furious Googleing, it doesn't seem that there is any kind of Magic: the Gathering scene in Jordan. I may not be cubing for quite some time! I've kept my cube updated and played regularly for five years now. I doubt that I'll be selling my cube, so it'll be interesting to come back in 2+ years to a whole pile of new cube cards to hunt down.
I might head over to the Pimp cards thread and post some of my favourite cube cards I've found and played with over the last five years.
Wow, good luck on your trip to Jordan! I knew you were thinking about moving overseas, and I was really hoping I'd get to meet you here in Korea.
Thanks man. Yeah Korea didn't pan out unfortunately. We didn't get the international school jobs we wanted. We are happy to be moving to Jordan though, even though there isn't any magic scene.
I said this over in the alters thread, but I really do hate to hear you have to leave the game. I hope you'll still be around the forums here. You're a great addition to this community. Good luck on the move, man. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Its up to you to teach the good people of Jordan the wonders of cube. I expect there to be a blooming community within the next two years!
Good luck and be safe!
Thanks man. Don't think I'll be bringing my cube though. Seems like it'd be safer to leave at home at my parent's place. Don't know if I want to be carrying such an expensive thing around Jordan. I do intend to take over some board games though

Thanks man I appreciate it. I won't be leaving the game for good. I'll most likely be back cubing whenever I return home!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes! I'll probably keep at least a little active on the forums.
