R
Comet Storm in - Forked Lightning out
Searing Blaze - This should really get in.
Kazuul, Tyrant of The Cliffs - Seams like a huge problem if not taken care of.
Slavering Nulls
G
Bestial Menace - A high ender would come out, not sure if its better then any of them
Wolfbriar Elemental - Power creep!
U
Tideforce Elemental - After thinking about it, Thieving Magpie is what will most likely come out for this.
Jace, The Mind Sculptor in - Jace Beleren out
Sejiri Merfolk
Wind Zendikon
W
Marshal's Anthem - This should get in somehow, it just seams busted.
Loam Lion
B
Corrupted Zendikon
Agree about Chain Reaction. I think that card is not good and not what red wants to do. It might end up being a real card for standard, maybe as a sideboard for RDW against Soldier/Kor/Pledge/whatever, but not for the cube in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteTideforce Elemental is interesting. Remember that Fatestitcher used to be in- maybe check whatever kicked it out.
I like the Persecutor so so much, but I'm just not sure about it in the cube. I'm going to start thinking about whether or not it would be good/better than something else in black decks I build. It's obviously hilarious though. Your opponent can play Pacts for free!
I think Anowon is totally underpowered and you will kick yourself in the face the next time your black 5-drop dies to Bolt.

The thing with Brigid is that most creatures don't have toughness greater than 4. I think she is the card people most often think is underpowered, and is so so not.
ReplyDeleteAlso, keep in mind that Oona's Prowler is THE card that enables a reanimation-heavy deck. So much quicker than the Masticores.
