I did! It's a great design, I only cut it because it wasn't an effect I sought. It's also great with Earthcraft, mana dorks or go-wide strategies in general. If you want a "white fireball" or "go wide X spell", I would give it a try.

Everyone else has killed the part of themselves that cringes
but I also can be 100% cool for a few minutes if I play Rainbow Dash...
That 0% coolness is a risk I am willing to take.
Maybe it’s also the only way to go beyond 100 % cool is the play Rainbow Dash.
A friend just gifted me Discord, Lord of Disharmony for my birthday (that was six months ago, but details) and I built a commander deck in 20 minutes with it. It rocks! My Little Pony cards are very fun! Only UB I liked so far 
now I will try to hunt down a copy of Rainbow Dash for the Cube

What's your opinion of this card?
On one hand, I hate it because it's a little confusing to read at first. On the other hand, I love a colorless discard outlet that activates for zero mana, which also doubles as a source of evasion/reach that can end a stalled game or push an aggro deck over the top.
The flavor is confusing at first, but it resonates after a bit of consideration.
For any of the people who try to avoid confusing cards, is this card confusing enough to be annoying?

This is the first time I heard this card described as confusing, if that helps.
I played with that card a lot (in commander) and I think it's neat and easy to understand!

It might prompt a double take at first but once you parse the card fully it makes total sense and is a blast to play with - it's the kind of card I'd use as a bellwether for a slower Cube than mine are these days
I'm cubing it for years and I am very hesitant to add overly complicated/confusing cards. I think it is quite an elegant design, honestly.
I adore Key to the City btw. It reads innocent enough, but overperforms every – single – time. Madness enabler, graveyard filler, sweet with saboteur triggers ... it's like every second draft, it shines in conbination with a different card.

Yep. I used it for years, and enjoyed it. It’s a good card for a cube where smuggler’s copter is too strong for the environment
Anyone get to try out this yet? I haven't made a slot for it yet in my cube, but I've got a draft this weekend and debating whether or not to include it. I've seen it be pretty gross in some Limited games, but haven't heard anything yet for cube. The ceiling is nutty as we've discussed before, but is the average case good enough? Ends up being a more restricted Sevinne's Reclamation if it's just a 3 drop coming, but I think that would still be fine for most W/x decks looking for this effect? I'm thinking Pod and Birthing Ritual builds, some W/x Aggro for maximum ROI with 1 drops.
I like the theoretical upside of flashback Reclamation before but I'm not sure if I've ever seen it actually happen in person.
I’m imaging my opponent recurring

I mentioned this in another thread, but I'm looking to probably swap it out for Dewdrop Cure, not because it's better but because it's easier to read. I'm also not mad about how well it plays with the trio of Hangarback Walker, Marketback Walker, and Walking Ballista, even if it's a non-bo with Mockingbird. I think in terms of ACS, Dewdrop Cure is still better simply because of how good 2-drops can be in Cube.
Even spending three mana to get back a 3-drop is perfectly serviceable considering how powerful/pivotal individual cards at that MV can be, and it's something Dewdrop Cure can't do. Pre-War Formalwear is stronger than most people give it credit for, and the power boost is not the biggest reason. I wouldn't compare it to Sevinne's Reclamation since it's fundamentally looking get a 2-for-1 on the first go. It may not get a second chance, but they end up being wanted by pretty different decks in my experience. Even though it's in a different color, Lively Dirge plays a bit more closely (for obvious reasons).
Rip OG Cube favorite Proclamation of Rebirth though!
someday I really will make a cube that's just a bunch of kamigawa-through-time-spiral era rares. gonna Bronze Bombshell people right out somehow or something. really gonna do it, don't try and stop me
I used to have a sweet 60-card multiplayer deck (back when this was a thing) centered around Confusion in the Ranks and then playing that Bombshell, Glitterfang, Viashino Sandscout, or Viashino Sandstalker to steal my opponent's creatures repeatedly, and occasionally throwing down my one-of Grip of Chaos, Pandemonium, Aether Flash, or Brand of Ill Omen for extra chaos.
Old Magic was pretty cool. This kind of deck can still exist in Commander, thankfully, but like with my old 60-card casual decks, you need the right playgroup. How else could you run both Tamanoa and Necropotence in your same no-banlist Ice Age Block constructed deck?? (edit: even a young me knew that these cards didn't interact but they did help one another draw a bunch of burn spells, offsetting the life loss of Necro).
Multiplayer decks are 99 cards and a commander, so I know you're lying.
don't be ridiculous, everyone remembers Emperor because New Frontiers was like 30 tix on modo
(emperor had range-of-effect 1, so the emperor would cast it and all three of their team would get X basics in return for only the opposing emperor getting X basics)
also that card is a $75 foil never reprinted wowza
