The issue with Manamorphose is that it doesn't do anything. You'll often put it in your deck, and you might have some cute interactions with spells matter or w/e, but is that enough for a slot in your Cube and a pick in the draft? I want to say yes, but YMMV (Though I've also been trying this...

I've found Reveler clunky even in the shells that it should be best in (you see this in Constructed too; a lot of the Arclight Phoenix decks in Modern initially leaned hard into Reveler and now it's being cut more and more). It's a shame, because I like the idea of it a lot and I don't want it...

Baral is great; it incentivizes you to build around it and there are few scarier things to see across the table than a T2 Baral you can't answer

Dragonlord Silumgar isn't un/common but a format where it is sounds pretty hilarious

On Mulldrifters and Baneslayers in Cube As is his style, Patrick Chapin brilliantly framed a crucial deckbuilding insight in the middle of one article in a multi-part set review, ensuring nobody would ever stumble on it by accident. In essence, most creatures are one of these...

Now that I have nothing to test for and some time over the holidays I'll actually get a list up here for you all. In the meantime, following Standard has made me reevaluate a few cards: Arclight Phoenix: The stats very much are there! Phoenix has taken over Modern and is doing its best in...

Played the SCG Invitational this weekend; muddled through Day 1 at 5-3, then started Day 2 6-0, lost my win-and-in for T8 on camera (here at 7:27:30), then won my last round (after opponent refused the split!) for T16, $2k, and a qualification for the next Invitational Went 6-2 in both...

needs Undying instead

Congrats!

I miss FSR, maybe this will bring him back

I love anything that involves lands switching zones and piling up. A lot of the on-theme finishers (Meloku, Multani, Avenger of Zendikar, Rampaging Baloths, Primeval Titan) are at a high power level, which is great for convincing the power-max crowd to try it but awkward if you're trying to tone...

I've enjoyed Glint Hawk + Kor Skyfisher + Stonecloaker with Teshar + Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit + Oketra's Monument + Shrine of Loyal Legions as payoffs There's also: Genesis Chamber

I really wish there was a version of Skullclamp that only drew one card; it would still be OP, but at least in a manageable way

^split a 3k with this once again I'm doing terribly at GPs but great at local events, need to figure out how to bridge the gap
