So, I've been staring at this piece of art for the past 10 minutes (which I never do with MTG art btw), and the more I think about it, the more impressive it is within the context of the frame. I really have to take my hat off to the artist here. Lets look at it again: So, we have a line of...

I also like how the art dosen't appear to be the sort of non-offensive, but dull, CGI cartoon work that they've been pushing the artists towards. What we get instead is a nice symbolic expression of the phyrexians, that shows their gospel of transmuting life into living machines by death. The...

I really like the frames for what its worth. Though I love the style of phyrexian script, and love how its featured in the scriptures. I wish they would do more promo cards like elesh norn, where the script is featured in the card itself.

The labman decks are really fun to play again, and aren't just linear turbo milling (though I suppose you could design your format to be that). The turns leading up to the win are especially intense, with lots of play and counterplay. Labman puts you into a position where you can win just off...

I've ran him for years. He's a really fun card, that leads to a lot of memorable stories. Winning with lab maniac is one of the most exhilarating things you can do in cube i.m.o. If you do a search for my name with labortory maniac, it should bring you to a number of different posts and deck...

The main issue with them is that they occupy the 3cc slot. I think they are good cards though, just priced at an awkward point on most curves.

We want strong big mana effects that can end the game, but not ones that end the game immediatly for no work, and are difficult to interact with. Its a tricky line to ride.

Ribbons hasn't been obnoxious yet, and that mostly seems to be because of the {B}{B} cost and it needing to be cast from the yard. You really have to run base red for it to be worthwhile, and everytime I see someone splash for the ribbons end, it ends up awkard. Plus you can interact with it in...

I ran them a long time ago when I was trying to make aggro work, in a format being consumed by ramp. They were an early, crude, and brutish tool to try to force aggro into relevence, at a point where I would have been happy with them as fun police, rather than a dynamic or interesting...

After this weekend, cut Invoke the Firemind For Steam augury In a format with this much ramp, and a focus on longer games, invoke has been pretty obnixious. It just ends otherwise interesting games on the spot, and was doing that again this weekend. Steam Augury is a card I've been...

I like some of the new art, and really like that they reprinted erg raiders, but at a glance, the set looks too predictable to me in the way it will play. Blue has a monopoly on negative variance reducers again, and promise of bunrei looks like a first pick format warping uncommon.

This is the most fun blue 6 drop finisher i.m.o ;) Rise from the Tides

I would probably only run it if I had a broader UB or UBW zombies package. The meme potential is just too great in combination with: undead alchemist dread return unburial rites From under the floorboards Necromancer's Covenant extractor demon And misc externalize/embalm creatures

Oh I meant rav, he had it in his cube when he first posted it. It looks terrible, but I want it to be good.

What were your experiences with Isperia? It looks really interesting in your list as a spicy card, but than I saw you post about how she was a bit underwhelming and I was all :(

You sound like you're being overly rational to win a point that dosen't seem to get us anywhere. I also don't appreciate the passive aggressive jab. The idea of whats "iconic" is always going to be a subjective one. There is not one valid way to inteprete the meaning behind tree of...

Exactly, the moment you hear tree of redemption is a green mythic, you just roll your eyes with disgust and start thinking negative things about wizards. Its as troll as printing moon lace at rare in time spiral. Masters sets are not supposed to be about troll printings or troll pack openings...

Wizard's intention behind the set is to induce me, the consumer, to spend money on it. Punishing me with opening Tree of Redemption as a mythic does not make me want to purchase packs.
