Vortex Elemental ;)

So... it's basically a better Mana Bloom?

May I make a request? Make these cycles into double-faced cards: Windbrisk Heights Shelldock Isle Howltooth Hollow Spinerock Knoll Mosswort Bridge Windbrisk Raptor Isleback Spawn Hollowborn Barghest Knollspine Dragon Mossbridge Troll

I think it's entirely correct to run Craben Inspector as a 1-drop. I do think that Shadow has some play to it, especially if you run some other sweet evasive creatures.

This is pretty dang sweet. Any particular reason why you cut Golgari?

From my armchair perspective, I feel like it depends on what you want the card for. Thousand-Faced Shadow is a better ninjitsu enabler, but the Student is a way better clone. There's a big difference between a clone that can only copy your attacking stuff and one that can copy any creature on...

As blacksmithy is fond of saying, a proxy isn't $65. :p

Why did nobody tell me about Sakashima's Student

Hey, eventually WotC is going to start basing sets off of aesthetics that I'm not into.

It took me a moment before I realized that the lands were triomes...

Weirdly enough, the new cards that I'm most interested in jamming in there are a few of the BLOOD cards from Vow. Mostly because having something you can spend exactly {1} on is a pretty decent thing in this kind of environment.

Whazzat? It's been a year? Ugh. I'm mostly dropping this here to remind myself to update/redesign this cube, especially since NEO gave us some sweet new cards to look at (actually playable Channel cards? At my allowed CMCs? My cup runneth over!) and because I'm slightly better at card...

I'm an unnecessarily big fan of Pia's Revolution. The thing is that you're always going to get the worse option... but when the choices are between "I lava spike your face" and "I get more fuel for my artifact-cracking synergies", it's harder for villain to figure out which is worse.

I feel like that last bit depends heavily on what you consider a typical scenario.

Has anyone given this guy a chance? Unforgiving One

... Is Bridge from Below the example of a do-nothing enchantment that Velrun was looking for? Because it does literally nothing when it's on the battlefield, and really could've been any card type (though making it an Instant or Sorcery would've probably been a bit broken).

Bygone Bishop vs. Welcoming Vampire

I dunno, I prefer the real Kyodai art: That Which Was Taken

This might sound a little heretical, but I'm of the opinion that you don't need to maximize agency in all your card slots. It's OK to have some cards that are literally just "attack with me every turn, kthxbai", because that pushes the game forwards.

Ah yes, my favorite mono-blue Dragon for my Ux deck.
