I am running abrade, blood moon and firespour in the sideboard. They have been pretty good against humans
Okay. Im doing 1 abrade, 2 firespouts, 2 moons and 1 Blasphemous act. I think this will work along with 2 huntmasters maindeck. I just wasnt sure what people were running at this time for it
Inner Demon certainly has me interested since I have been trying to include a small pants sub-theme.
Azra Oddsmaker seems interesting - if for no other reason then just because it has such a rare effect for the colour combination. I might actually increase the size of my gold section to 3 cards per guild. Though... Boros is still abysmal.
I went to 5 in the guild slot besides lands and man I haven't regretted it yet. however Im at 480. When I was at 360 I had 4 per guild slot and loved it also.
So, a Thrive with trample slapped on? I am pretty sure that no one is exactly interested in Thrive and he bonus is small enough that the trample will hardly matter unless your creatures were already pretty big.
I swore it was instant speed thus why I thought interesting. Now realizing it was sorcery...
If you really want to keep the door open for bad cards to get some discussion, you could mention but not highlight the skipped cards. So you could post something like "I skipped Clockwork Steed and Coastal Hornclaw for Fireball". Then we discuss fireball, but it gives someone the opportunity to jump in with an "actually, Coastal Hornclaw can turn on Delirium and threshold at instant speed" or something if they feel that the skipped card(s) has some redeeming quality.
Thats a good suggestion. We'll try that.
Today's Card:
First card to pull up. Hellspark Elemental I know I have seen in some cubes at certain points. I personally cut the card a while back just due to player complaints on how over powered red felt. The main issue my group had with the hellspark was too often it would blitz people to victory on turn 3 or 4. Since then I have depowered some of the direct burn so Hellspark might be worth considering once again.
I'm curious do other have history with this lil' spark?
If it cost 3 it's probably playable as a 3 mana 4/3 with downside.

Is this supposed to be a design thread? Discussing how playable Craw Wurm would be at 2GG is vaguely interesting, but since the card doesn't exist (I think) and no one has experience with it it's hard to take anything out of the discussion imo.
While not specifically a design thread it does take into account card design and what would have made this card make your cut off. Cubes are a giant custom designed set so I feel we should adapt for what design changes could make it work to help foster discussion on what some of the barriers are for making it into a cube.
I feel its worth discussion what would have made cards work for cube and where each cards short comings are rather than just leaving it as not worth cubing.
There is no Horsing around today. This guy seems interesting but man oh man do I wish they were +1/+1 counters as that would make this horse probably worth considering as it would then fall into the +1/+1 counters there that many cubes run.

Rushblade commander seems like it could be interesting IF there are some okay common warriorsEdit: darn this new set symbol being hard to read

But any thoughts on mind Ravel?
