Thanks for the heads up on this. The book looks gorgeous, and I was very happy to get a Path to Exile print. Here is hoping that she hits the 100k mark.
How does Blightsteel Colossus compare to Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and Kozilek, Butcher of Truth? I am at 540 cards, and support the artifact deck, green ramp, and Sneak Attack/Show and Tell/Eureka archetypes and was looking at possibly getting one or 2 more big impact targets for the deck. Being Tinkerable is a big upside for Blightsteel, but I worry that it might be lackluster if it gets off one hit, and then gets removed.
You can also use Turn on a creature they just played when they have evolve triggers on the stack to make sure that none of their creatures get +1/+1 counters from it.

Do you guys think this beats out Broodmate Dragon for the Jund Shard?
If I had to cut one of them, I think I would cut the Horror. The Hexmage is a much more unique card, and being able to take out problematic planeswalkers like Gideon with it is just huge. That being said, I don't think I am really happy with cutting either of those two cards though.
I liked him a lot more when I thought his ability only hit your opponent. The fact that he can hit you makes it kind of rough if they play a better fatty.
I'm trying to decide between Razormane Masticore and Precursor Golem. I feel like they are pretty close in power level, and it really more comes down to personal preference. Any advice?
Hey, long time follower of your cube, but I don't really post much. Hopefully I will start doing so more frequently here.
Anyways, I noticed that you have slowly been cutting out a lot of the cards that you originally added to support the Pox package. Reassembling Skeleton seems to be the only recurring creature to help mitigate the equal creature loss. Has Pox still been playing well even with the reduced support? Thanks.
Yeah, Catastrophe >>> Command and Rout. The ability to just end games with destroying all lands is just huge. If your cube really pushes aggro decks, you honestly want all the 4 CMC wraths you can get.
unless blue is the only color white pairs with to make control decks in your cube, adding this and cutting a monowhite wrath will not result in balance. it will reduce the number of wraths available in your drafts.
Yeah, this is pretty much what I am feeling. U/W would love to get their hands on a wrath that other W/X or U/X control decks are not going to fight over (assuming they are not U/W).
Why are people looking to cut a wrath effect for this? If I am playing control, I want as many wrath effects that I can get my hands on, especially at 4 CMC.
I honestly just don't like this card as much as the new walker or the lol troll. I could probably see comparing it with putrefy as the closest swap, but I still think I like putrefy more than this.
I mean, pretty much every U/W control deck we see wants to get their hands on as many 4 CMC wraths as they can. Maybe other people's cubes have had different experiences?
