Even though it does support more, I don't like playing with more. The bases are designed with a certain breakpoint. I've played 5 player a few times and didn't really care for it since I felt like I had far less impact on the game overall (since often I would play a guy and the base would score bef...

I stayed away from Courser because he just doesn't jive with the overall game plan. Rabblemaster could probably be replaced in the deck but I don't believe there are other cards that can replace him at this time. Also I've won too many games going Elvish Mystic into Rabblemaster on 2. I suggest tryi...

I tested it a bit and I seem to draw into the mana dorks too much. It happens at times. Are you on Kibler's build or my Rabble Temur build?

Hey NBW, what would you consider as this deck's weakness? I'm considering trying it out since my beloved Abzan Aggro has a bad match up against my meta. Small Red Aggro seems to be the weakness. I bring in 3x Magma Sprays and 3x Arc Lightnings to handle them though. Key is to switch into control. P...

Why was he allowed to keep his store after the conviction? Did he not get jail time? If the law says he can have his store, I don't think it's morally right for Wizards to say that he can't (and they definitely know how pulling their product would ruin him). He had one before he was convicted which...

Kibler recently made an argument against Caryatid in Temur aggro in his recent SCG premium article. He is not for Caryatid for pretty much the same reason I am against it. It does not do damage and only fixes your mana because you need permanent fixing. He does state that the deck does have cards th...

Keeping the aggressive gameplan, I wonder if we shouldn't go Jund for Rakshasa Deathdealer? It fits on a curve and gets better as we land mana sinks: your opponent will have to decide whether or not they want to throw their beaters in the path of the Deathdealer or just take the damage. Plus it can...
