Snap strikes me as kind of an all in card like all of the generic unsummons, giving up a card early to hopefully close the game out before tempo evens out. In my cube I imagine Snap is pretty amazing, considering it can "destroy" auras for free.

Standstill is a good card. You don't necessarily need lots of aggressive blue creatures (it helps, but there aren't many options), as long as you have reasons for decks that are playing aggressive creatures in other colors to want to play blue. Stuff like Mana Vortex, Silent Departure, Treasure...

The trigger exiles her, so its no different then getting stped.

I have to say I've never thought about the subject of the intrinsic qualities of a creature having a color other then in the case of devotion and a few other narrow cards that I generally avoid. Having "being black" be an advantage (can block fear, can't be doom-bladed etc) could work out...

If this card is real, it is pretty badass. Tons of damage to the face isn't exactly too interesting, but the power level is there. Either you can cast 1 red spell to clear the way and attack to flip her or you can cast two red spells to flip her, and once you do, you get a one sided vortex...

And here I thought Gleam of Authority would be the controversial card choice in that deck. Hardened scales is good, decks with it have 3-0'd twice and its been a key both times. Its not dead that fast, you don't need it on turn 1 or anything. Dude > Dude > Scales + Travel Prep or Dromoka's...

Hardened Scales is a very good card. I was hopeful when it was first released and it has done nothing but be awesome since then. There are just so many ways to repeatedly put +1/+1 counters into play that it much more then a 1 mana situational anthem. Having it be a leyline could work, but...

I don't like how the term "interact" is used in Magic. Usually, people use it to mean "I can blow up their stuff". Interacting is simply having your decisions effect the decisions of your opponent and vice/versa. If the only proper response to someone playing a card is "blow it up", that...

And now for something completely different. . . Ones 2 Favored Hoplite 1 Cenn's Tactician 1 Hardened Scales 1 Young Wolf 1 Hero of Leina Tower 1 Servant of the Scale 1 Emerge Unscathed 1 Rancor Two 1 Hero of Iroas 1 Phantom Nomad 1 Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit 1 Travel Preparations 1 Ordeal of...

Ajani, Mentor of Heroes is very strong. It adds 3 power which can probably attack immediately to the board or digs for a new dude to cast and then add three power to next turn. It adds resiliancy to green decks that go big. It occupies a similar niche as Garruk, Primal Hunter, but I like it...

I like Domri a lot and he makes the final 40 more often then not. Its a 3 mana prey upon, which I suppose is terrible, but the opponent has to dedicate some resource to killing him or else you are going to eventually get a free card and/or a second prey upon which is a pretty fair value for 3...

I like the planeswalker card type. I like how it combines incremental advantage with a focus on board play. I hate that there are so few that there isn't a lot of granularity with them. There is probably only one planeswalker that fits the niche you are looking for, so you better pray its the...

Better 7 months late then never! Squad Servitor could be really interesting, I might try that.

Its so weird when you see someone else's list that clearly has a clear and strong spiritual relationship to your own list, but as the same time is completely and utterly different. Weird, and totally reassuring. JTMS seems out of place. This is far from the first time I've called this...

I don't know what the worst flavor text is, but the best one is clearly: Wordmail

Shows how much I follow standard, I didn't even know that card was reprinted.

I just watched it. Not only did he play two lands, but the land he played was a windswept heath, which he tapped for mana instead of searching for a land that would have brought him to 1 life. I didn't keep watching the video so that may not have been a material error, but it certainly was...

Abzan Falconer is the shit. Disowned Ancestor and Herald of Anafenza are niche cards that do stuff, but probably can't hack it in most cubes. Tuskguard Captain is alright, but now with warrior support, Bramblewood Paragon is usually better. Syndic of Tithes is a good two drop. Its the kind...

1 drops are still just too shitty to run them "honestly". Look at how thin the selection is in the average powermax cube. Drafters looking for one drops need to take basically whatever they find because there aren't enough of them for them to be picky and many of them just suck. Lets face it...
