Due to the way in which white removal is split I am happy with a couple of removal spells that are narrower in my cube provided they have this level of power
Sure, you can get more power from the bigger cards but if you can't get there as easily it isn't worth it when you are winning with the cheaper stuff
Youre slapping it down before the first card has even been drawn, and are announcing that nobody will be gaining life, and that youll be spending the rest of the game kicking your opponents heads in
So if you attack or block with a creature that has double strike, that card will deal damage first and will not take into consideration any damage being dealt by the opposing creature
The required creature type isn't just for Limited and Standard, though
Blatant Thievery says gimme that, gimme that, oh, and gimme that too. It makes the entire table angry at you, so youd better hope the permanents youre blatantly stealing are worth it
