The problem is, I don't have honor. I'll go order some then.

Bandage definitely has swag. But I think I'll go with the more proactive Honor :p

I've been loving Niveous Wisp and I'd like another 1-mana cantrip spell in white for prowess/spellslinger. Honor Defiant Strike Instant speed or staying power?

Odyssee block has a huge influence on my cube, I'd guess it's among the three most influential blocks with Innistrad and Shadowmoor? Anyway, from Judgment specifically, I have these core cards still rocking: Anger Wonder Love them to pieces for madness, selfmill and such, they are just so...

Marvel is aesthetically just a horrible fit for magic, oh boy. Luckily, through the omenpaths will make it easy to craft proxies from cards that are just perfect mechanically.

But if they use their removal spell on my 1-drop, that's a good thing in my book!

But in an environment where DRC would be too powerful for a 1-drop, the less aggressive version could work out just fine, right?

Yeah I was worried it would lead to unfun play patterns. Well, these are cool. But I was looking for some colorless equipment (or any artifact) that can trigger Ajani's Pridemate multiple times but is also just decent

Basilisc Collar Any experiences with this?

Thanks for reminding me about Bridge! I was always intrigued by it and now that I have occasionals, I should easily find a slot for it to test. Garna is also cool, although gold cards have a harder time to slot in. I also only have gold cards in my occasionals. Regarding the reamimator deck, I...

Okay, overall the card is better, but I would prefer Reckless Impulse over it in a non-green deck or any kind of prowess deck still. Generally, I prefer the flexibility of "until the end of your next turn" over "until your next turn" even as a sorcery. Reckless Impulse feels the closest to a red...

Crimson Vow was a neat set. I would've really enjoyed the limited format if it wasn't for those unbeatable bombs: Toxrill, Avabruck Caretaker, Halana and Alena ... VOW was my least favorite limited experience, even though it was so so close to being awesome. However, it did have an impact on my...

I wish there were more artifacts that turned off when tapped. Cards like Howling Mine, not like Winter Orb, so it can be a fun thing to do with stuff like Improvise, Warterbending, Ensoul Artifact+attacking and such.

Man, looking through that list makes me really want a classic core set back elegant designs and just magic vibes. M13 had a lot of cool new cards that feel like insta-classics and I'm still cubing five of them. These three are in the core: Archaeomancer Talrand, Sky Summoner Krenko's Command...

Regarding vibes and art, SOK, like the whole Kamigawa block, was one of the all time best sets imo. That makes it even more painful how bad the designs were, mechanically, for huge parts of the set. Like other said before, it really feels like the theme was "prevent people from playing the game"...
