Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

Yeah, my first thought was also Flametongue Kavu. It's easily splashable if necessary, and red seems pretty open so far. WW looks really open, but that ship has sailed, as far as I'm concerned.
Masticore would be my second pick, followed by Coldsteel Heart. I could be persuaded to grab either of them.
Masticores are usually so bad, but this cube has a lost of madness-type cards that can make it especially profitable (including roar of the wurm, in this pack).
I wouldn't give up on WW, but I don't think we can jump in here. It's either FTK or Masticore.
In any aggro deck, FTK is a great curve topper, while Masticore is an artifact and opens up madness synergy. I'm honestly not sure...
Yeah, madness is supported in this cube, and since it's an unusual archetype it's not likely to be heavily drafted. This makes Masticore much more appealing, but still: FTK it is.
I agree all around, Flametoungue Kavu for me too. Fits in basically any deck.
I don't think we'll end up true WW but playing W/X aggro is still quite possible.
I do like masticores if you have the right deck for them. Thran Dynamo helps them pop, and dropping Winter Orb after playing a masticore means we'd probably have the cards in hand to discard. Neither of those plays are broken but both our first picks help him start to look good. And I hadn't thought about the madness we may grab.
Yeah Boros is my favorite aggro deck, and we still have a chance at it. I'd rather go for artifact ramp if it comes our way, though.
It's amazing how much better creatures have gotten. I remember how busted that 6/6 Roar of the Wurm token was when you could get it out for 4 mana. Now you get 5/5s with upside for 4 mana, without any madness hoops to jump through... [Shakes fist at cloud]
The trick there is keeping a balance between a good curve and the mana base. I find it's best to supplement white 1s, 2s, and 3s with red 3s and 4s and spot removal. RR spells can be a trap for the good boros deck.

Or stick to artifact mana and take Coldsteel Heart?
My 3rd choice would be just grab another artifact in Masticore.
Early signals look like red is open from our right.
I don't really have cube experience with most of the others, so I may be under rating them...

All things being near equal, I'll stick with building the decks I know. FTK+winter orb is certainly one of them. So is orb+dynamo.
