EDIT: Also, my cube isn't updated on CubeTutor, although you're welcome to imput the cube from my MTGS thread into whichever program allows you to do what you want to. We're testing some different cards at the moment (which you can see in the last post of my cube list) if you'd like to try the version I'll be cubing with tonight & Friday.
Awesome! We do use a cubetutor scraper to get the bulk of the info, but I can use your thread to find the differences. If I manage it, I will let you know! Thanks again!
Not sure I would say Meloku is the better card. I know a lot of people love it, but a lot of ppl are cutting it too. I feel that is a pretty balanced way to think about it, some love, some eh, prob in the middle.
From my experience, AEtherling is pretty amazing. I would agree that he is likely the best finisher creature. Meloku and Sphinx are amazing as well of course. Though Sphinx is my favorite create in the cube to Doom Blade (might be tied with Kalonian Hydra). When a control player taps out for a t6 Sphinx, it usually makes me smile, kill it, and laugh all the way to a win, which is why I guess I don't see it being cheaper then AEtherling.
Apparently, unbeknownst to me, my cube is quite slow given my attachment to cards like AEtherling and baby Jace. I would love to draft and play your cube Colby and see how much faster it is then mine or wtwlf's. Thankfully, a friend of mine created a pool he calls the Metacube, which allows us to build basically every cube on mtgs, so maybe I will make that my weekend project. Excited to try your setup!
Say you play a wrath, your opponent plays a new threat and attacks you to 5. Now you play AEtherling and keep U open to save it from removal. You are now dead to ...Thundermaw Hellkite...
Just to be fair, Thundermaw would kill you in this situation regardless of the blue finisher you are running (at least off the top of my head). He will tap Jwar Jwar, and smash. Same with Kiega. Actually the only finisher that I can think of that would allow you to live would be Morphling by chump blocking.
Edit: Meloku would also save you, as mentioned by the Blue Finisher MCD.
