You know, it amuses me greatly that Darksteel Relic is still a useful card purely on the strength of costing 0 mana. Like, it's not a strong card, but it can be useful... just ask Ensoul Artifact or Phylactery Lich. EDIT: I mean, that is the real reason why Planeswalkers immediately leave the...

"This design does not currently exist" is wholly irrelevant when you're talking about whether or not a design can exist, is the thing. I agree that that enchantment existing is pretty unlikely, though. I think the issue with making enchantment creatures "feel like enchantments" is that, now...

I mean, it technically is a card-draw engine in a creature-heavy deck.

I mean, the card you want there is Urban Burgeoning it'll eventually be good in some format i swear

As of the latest Commander decks, faster formats can also get in on the fun: Drumbellower

You're right — I miscounted.

I think being able to curve from a T2 Hierophant into a five-drop on T3 and an eight-drop on T4 with a single bounceland might be faster ramp than Zoss wants. I mean, I'd welcome our new ramp overlords with open arms, but that's just me.

As a side note, if you're willing to go with custom cards... I dare you to run Stone-Seeder Hierophant at {2}{G} (or {1}{G}{G}, if that's too rich for your blood).

To answer your edited-in question... I don't think Untapping Elf would actually break anything. The most degenerate thing it would allow is: T1 Forest, Untapping Elf → T2 bounceland + two-drop → T3 bounced land + five-drop. As a filthy ramp player, that feels strong, but doesn't necessarily...

The secret behind Arkbow is that you run it in a deck with a lot of topdeck manipulation stuff. You can't whiff if you know the card you want is right on top of your library! (It still isn't fantastic.)

If you're intent on basing this archetype around bouncelands or Lotus Field, may I suggest Strict Proctor? More generally... how fast are the formats you're trying this in? Would Naga Vitalist be playable in any of them? Because if your answer is "no", then the cards you're looking at are way...

There's also the MIGHTY FLYING LAD: Nimble Obstructionist I love me the mighty flying lad.

Wait, how much is it going for? I pulled a copy in one of my prize packs. EDIT: Jeeze, that's fetchland territory.

That's a good question... which Hideaway lands are actually cube-worthy? I feel like Windbrisk Heights and Shelldock Isle are definitely a yes, but I've never played with the other 3.

Some friends convinced me to do the prerelease, and I went 2-1 on the strength of an aggressive Mardu (actually Rakdos splashing White) pile. I went 0-2 in the first match due to heavy flooding, decided to cut back to 14 lands, and then went 4-0 for the rest of the night. I had a game turn...

Glassdust Hulk has always felt like it was 1 mana too expensive to me.

Look, all they need to do is avoid making 1-drops that ping your opponent whenever an artifact is dumped into the graveyard, and we'll be fine. Edit: C'mon WotC, print "Morbid But For Artifacts This Time" in the Brother's War set you cowards.

I will say that I'm bummed that we didn't see even a tiny reference to Arcane spells (I'm not surprised, mind you — just disappointed). On a different note, as someone who's fiddling with a cube primarily focused on artifact tokens, the fact that both White and Green didn't get anything that...

Part of the problem is that putting +1/+1 counters on your stuff is almost always good. As a result, anything that rewards you for doing more of it comes off as win-more-y. Most of the time, something like Abzan Falconer isn't really adding a new dimension to the deck. EDIT: An alternate way to...

Yeah, Swift Reconfiguration is a hilarious combo piece, and a fantastic way to protect otherwise-fragile combo creatures. For example... Crypt Rats
