MTG Salvation

Subtlety > Kefnet, unless you're using the latter as a combo piece.

Beleren > Mage.

Shatter > Decrease.

Card looks good, and I like it more than Negate, personally. Not really comparable cards, necessarily, but I think hitting creatures is super important.

Thanks for the kind words!

Nothing has really changed, except the speed of the cube has made 1cc ramp even more desirable than ever. So in that sense, I guess I "ran out of dorks". 1cc ramp is just good, and I already play all the Llanowar Elves I want to. I like them more than the mana dorks that have a drawback or tap for colorless, but not more than the creatures that unconditionally produce colored mana. I do play Pilgrim (in ). Selvala's Stampede is a card that wants green ramp but doesn't necessarily want mana dorks, so that's one new(ish) card that has increased their value.

Jitte would still be better, IMO.

Bonesplitter. The exile drawback hurts more than it helps. I'll continue to play both for now, but it's a shame the exile wasn't a "may".

Another vote for Tracker here.

This did not play particularly well for me in testing, and I didn't feel inclined to play it in my cube after testing it out. It felt like a replacement-level 4cc 'walker in my list, but I could see it being really strong in an unpowered list focussed on combat. I think that was how Ryan Overturf described his cube experience with the card thus far, and I'm inclined to agree with him in this case.

I like Warden better, and I slot it as Abzan.

I just added several support cards for “Lands Matter.” Would you all play Sylvan Scrying in a deck like this? There is not a high number of targets, but it seems good in a deck with Depths Combo, Strip Mine, or Cradle.

If you really need Depths support, yes, other wise I don't think it's worth it. Knight of the Reliquary is also something to consider if you're going the Dark Depths route.

Elvish Reclaimer is also a decent support card for this kind of package.

Titan if you have critical build-arounds and/or combo pieces it can get back, otherwise Call.

Below SoFI and above the other Swords for me.

Tons of subtle Loam synergies.

Most of 'em are.

Something like this can be an example of tertiary use for Loam. Only has a few utility targets (manland, Boseiju, 2 fetches, & a horizon draw engine) but the added value as a repeatable spell for Pyromancer/Stitcher makes me think it would perform quite well:

It can also boost big late game land counts for Uro and Krasis if we make it to that stage of the game, as well as serving as a fuel engine for Uro and Forbid.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

1) Yes, but it would need a deep pool of other good targets in order to make the cut without a lockout effect.

2) It can, but typically it'll see play in decks that have both good land targets and can use it to feed the 'yard.

And as long as they keep printing things like Urza's Saga, Boseiju, triomes, etc. it's only going to continue to get better and better.

Super hot. Looking forward to being able to use the complete set of 10.
