Oh oh, did you just say tempo?
Every time anyone says "tempo" they should donate a ticket to the modo cube.

I know this is most indicative of the environment you run but...
Bribery is a 5 mana creature that's probably slightly above curve. Maybe even slightly below (Oh man hellrider. Just what I always wanted)
Like, baneslayer probably wins me more games on average.

Yup. It's very environment dependent. Here is midrange forest, this card is nothing but feel-bad-ville. In more aggro oriented cubes, it's probably pedestrian.
What do people think about this piece of blue GRBS:
Similar in concept to Capsize, in which I don't know if this is better or worse than that card.
I have been locked out by this card a couple of times and it has been pretty demoralizing.
Although speaking about it I would never first-pick this card. I don't know why but never comes on my radar when drafting, then when I see it in game against me I just want to cry.
Also, Shamizy is the only one to mention Consecrated Sphinx, which is also quite the beating. I have never been able to win if I couldn't kill it the turn after it came down. It is pretty much an auto first-pick for me.

I once won a game in cube where my opponent not only resolved Consecrated Sphinx and have it live for more then one turn, but also resolved Dig Through Time, Garruk Wildspeaker, Myr Battlesphere twice ánd Ral Zarek among others. Ultimately he was short a Mindslaver topdeck and I was able to grind out the game with my
grindfest lifegain reanimator brew. It was one of the most exhilarating matches I've ever played!But yeah, savage card advantage card is savage
I know the card advantage is swell but isnt aetherling just better than consphinx?
They're kinda different, though. Consecrated Sphinx is basically a removal check while Aetherling is very mana intensive in order to be effective. Sphinx is more likely to steal a game back from an aggressive opponent on turn 6.

Only time will tell, but this looks pretty insane! Pretty sure I have to try this, but all modes look incredibly powerful. EOT bounce your team? No, wait, counter target spell, draw two cards! What, no, wait, counter target cascade spell, counter target cascaded spell, and return target creature to your hand. No, what. Wait. Soooooo many options o_O

Yeah this card makes my recent addition of evacuation really look like shit.
I feel so much better now about never buying Cryptic Command. Muwehehehe
