New Phyrexia Common/uncommon needs (for cube, 1x each)

[Dan Barrett]

Hi all,

 

Need one of each of the following for my common/uncommon cube update, does anyone have some they can bring Friday please so we can play it then/Saturday? Foils are of course welcome!

 

Master Splicer

Remember the Fallen

 

Tezzeret's Gambit

Wing Splicer

Viral Drake

 

Act of Aggression

Fallen Ferromancer

 

Shrine of Loyal Legions

Shrine of Burning Rage

Pristine Talisman

Mycosynth Wellspring

 

 

Current cube list here, any suggestions (particularly older cuts to cut, newer cards to swap around a bit) welcome!

 

 

[Dan Barrett]

can prob get the rest at the club tomo, will print off a list.

[Thomas David Baker]

Potential cuts: Plover Knights, Broken Ambitions (or is counterspell-heavy control viable in the cube?), Burrenton Bombardier, Negate, Final-Sting Faerie, Bloodmark Mentor, Pili-Pala, Mistveil Plains (unless this enables something I haven't seen), Sigiled Paladin.

 

I really like that Giant Spider is in there.

 

Are there enough artifacts for Esperzoa?

 

(Also reading this list I think triple M11 if my favorite ever draft format and triple Shardsis second, does that make me a pervert?)

 

[Dan Barrett]

Tom - cheers for taking a look.

 

Plover Knights I kept in and cut Shepherd of the Lost instead as it is more splashable.

 

Negate is probably cuttable, although blue is pretty overpowered right now, so having a few situational cards isn't a bad thing.

 

You're probably right on the others, although Pili-Pala I will keep so there is the potential combo with Power of Fire.

 

Sigiled Paladin... whether to keep this (and add a lot more weenie type creatures) or not is a difficult one. White is kinda bad save the removal and a few fliers at the moment, I think.

 

Esperzoa - consider that watch-listed. I think with the Mirrodin2 block additions there should be enough to draft an artifact-ish deck, but if not it'll go next time.

 

M11 is best core set to draft, and while I liked triple shards, full block was SO much better. My best play, ever, remains: Soul Manipulation, countering your guy, returning Bloodbraid Elf to my hand. Jizz.

No core set is ever fun to draft

[Glenn Goldsworthy]

I do agree although this one looks much better than the rest, nothing like drafting a shit set for nats though man
