Calibretto,
Last night on the way home we was talking about hex parasite and how it wasn't really living up to the cube and that we needed a artifact Mogg Fanatic. How about Memnite? We talked about something with a low casting cost. I really don't think the group will disagree with a free critter.
Man that's rough. If a tri color card doesn't make your deck in winston it might be time to reavaluating your tri color slots to see if this section is even worth including.
I really haven't gotten a chance to cube since school started so I haven't gotten a chance to see Hellkite or Elspeth in action. Though the one time I did get to cube Wurmcoil was in-sane.
YES alot of the tri color cards seem to never get played in cali's cube.
Molten-Tail Masticore is now a pack 1 pick 1 for me.
I personally like the idea of cutting Sharpshooter for Fire Imp. However, I'm almost certain that if I brought this idea to my crew I'd be met with, "But Sharpshooter is more likely to kill more creatures."
Hope you didn't get that from me?
I like the addition of mana tithe. I wouldn't complain if wanted to run sunlance in that spot either.
Losing butcher was a bad idea. Juzam and Plague are going to become walls. Remember all critters in the cube have utility. These 2 don't. Really, they bring nothing to improve anything. Give me Korlash, Heir To Blackblade anyday. At least it regenerates.
Faceless butcher for plague sliver?? REALLY?? When was the last time you saw butcher come down as a dead card? How about trading plague sliver for mirri the cursed? Mirri always get the cut to the s/b. I haven't seen Mirri tapped in a long time??
Something I've been testing is Symbiotic Wurm. I first added it just for fun butI'm growing to like it more and more while playing 4 Cabal Therapy and 3 Dredge Returns. Plus Wurm is a 7/7 house its self.
These arguments have me at least convinced enough to bring him up to my cube peeps. I think it's worth a shot. Now... can I convince my fellow cubists?
I'm always willing to try testing before saying cut or keep.

I'd pick Standstill over Timetwister all day long. Timetwister sits in the S/b more than it gets played. But so does Future Sight.

While we where cubeing it up last night a card came to my mind. That card is Stifle. Has anyone tested this card? And if so did it make the cut?
