Right now I'm playing Wolfir Avenger, Briarhorn, Beast Attack, and Great Oak Guardian. Anyone have any experience with the other cards on the list or the strategy?
Vexing Scuttler was decent when I had it in my cube and similar to Wretched Gryff in that it essentially "draws" a card for a bigger body without evasion. They both get a 1 in my book but nothing special
I still think Hungry Spriggan is one of Green's best 3 drops. Attacking with a 4/4 trampler for 3 is exactly what a green aggro deck wants. Highly recommend it if you support green aggro.
I play Slave of Bolas in my black section. It's a kill spell mixed with act of treason and has been disgusting every time I have seen it played. Take their best creature, swing with it, and then kill it plays incredibly well in a limited. It plays well if you are ahead, behind or at parity. It does have a somewhat restrictive mana cost and not everyone would agree it belongs in a black section like I do so I would give it a 2.
It's been a while. Thinking of slimming down my cube to 450. Don't know where to start I have too many fond memories with cards that are probably trash now.
A card that obscure needs card tags, but anyway it probably isn't. You have to sac 2 guys to make it useful (mogg war marshal) and then you have to hope it gets through.
This card basically reads 4/4 for 2R with an enter the battlefield trigger of sacrificing a creature. Getting this turn 3 can be a beating and late game if you can sacrifice 2 creatures a 7/7 is nothing to scoff at. Then again, if you draw this on an empty board you are screwed.
But the dream of turn 2 this thing as a 4/4 sacking a mana dork lives on in my head. The better you can use exploit triggers the better this gets in your cube.

What are people's opinions on Advanced Stitchwing vs. Stitchwing Skaab?

I would say are much better than Dread Return and Victimize.
True Thunder-Thrash Elder. I keep assuming everyone has auto card anywhere.

It would open up a discussion of some of the newer cards not all of us have even played or considered.
It would also allow us to skip the circlejerk of seeing lightning bolt, swords, and control magic at the top of the lists every year...
