I have a feeling we already discussed this but. . . Entreat the Angels This card just feels bad in an environment with lots of blue cantrips, right? Brainstorming it to the top, then getting 3 angels for 5 mana isn't in any way interesting, is it? Nevermind if the game gets long. Miracles...

Nissa's renewal is awfully silly. It'd be a cool card if I had any 9+ mana dudes in my cube I guess, seven life will often buy you a turn you need to kill them with your zillion mana.

He was probably just pissed about having to draw giant dumb looking hedrons in the backround and phoned it in out of spite.

I often take Crater Hellion if I think I can be the control deck. Shriekmaw is more agnostic of a pick and if I thought the list was constrained around removal, I'd take that instead. But I'd probably take Crater Hellion.

Aleksi does the best planeswalker art, but Eric Dechamps consistently does good ones too. The only problem is his style doesn't stand out much, but when I think which ones have good art, his name is usually on the bottom of the card.

After marking out like crazy for Origins, Khans and Theros, this set has me completely disinterested. The lands definitely have a home in my binder, but the ideas here just don't speak to me at all. Gideon and Ulamog are just raw power level mythics with no play to them, Eldrazi are dumb and...

I don't put my ideas on a public internet forum for them not to be stolen.

I'm pretty sure Grave Titan is a Unesco World Heritage site.

I was actually thinking about cremate in my last update. I didn't end up going with it, but I see the appeal.

I complete forgot you can actually cast Curse of the Cabal! I suppose that isn't entirely irrelevant. Cloudpost black new archetype!

Yeah, I'm really looking for another force multiplier for Smokestack/Braids. Mana Breach works, something like bend or break, Scorched Earth or Tectonic break could work if I wanted to extend into red. Dropping descent to 3 (!!!) will just lead to awful, awful games so that's not a direction I...

Cruise and dig are both nuts, but Cruise is slightly better. I cast that thing for {U} pretty frequently and the discount is pretty relevant. Cruise goes into 98% of my decks that make blue, which makes me wonder if I should cut it as it offers basically no interesting play or deckmaking...

Shit, for some reason I like that idea. Randomly shitting over a creature type is kind of lame, but Replenish for humans on a body if just friggin weird enough to be awesome.

Ok, I've got it to the point where I would be happy to play with this list. 525 cards, which leaves room for a 15 card guest star pack. I have about 12 themed setups available, which will probably get winnowed really fast. The two "big" themes are graveyards and enchantments. Graveyards...

Nah, the problem here is getting the crossover cards that connect stuff together. I'm looking over different themes and trying to find unique cards that connect them together, or connect other colors into them. I'm also trying to avoid/eliminate cards that narrow gameplay (as opposed to narrow...

I run both Desert and Quicksand in my ULD and they both make decks. I take Desert more often, but there are a lot of 3/2 dudes running around these days so quicksand still probably has a purpose.

Proclamation of Rebirth I've had mild success with this card, but getting 3 creatures that cost 1 cc into the graveyard is tough, meaning this card makes it into a deck very rarely. If it was more flexible, it'd be much better. What if the cast mode said "with total converted mana cost 3 or...

The last ten slots are killing my brain here!

Yeah, I'm not afraid that he's unplayable. . . I never pulled the trigger on this change before, but after Jace, Vyrn's Prodigy was printed it actually seems relatively comparable: they are both two mana looters that scale into other effects that give a strong advantage later if they aren't...

Finally making real progress on this revision. It looks like I'm settling on 500 cards. There will be 6 or 8 20 card "guest star piles". Any two of them can be added to bring the entire list to 540 cards. Each will push something in particular or add a particular theme. Blue devotion and...
