It suffers a bit vs control in the way flame strike does, right? And I know Ive seen aggro decks run flame strike in the main.

Milita feels kind of like a token card. Those deck don't have to invest fully as much in cards to get as a board presence, so flipping it will be realistic. Playing militia captain with spectral procession seems gross, but she might also just be a bear.

To summarize what I've seen in this thread so far, the idea seems to be for control to win with; mill (mesmeric orb, sphinx's tutelage, nephalia drownyard, increasing confusion) reanimator (gifts ungiven + unburial rites, or any kind of loot effect and reanimator spells. Possibly dread...

Using some synergy / combo as the big finnish to a control match sounds like a nice incentive to play all those counterspells and sweepers. Like, it gives you something to work towards, some real game plan that has drama.

Oh wow I didn't even know about Mizzix's Mastery.. its like a reanimation spell but for instants and sorceries? Nuts!

Victimize Unearth Profane Command Are there more cards like this? I'm kind of excited about cards that let you rebuy your early plays without getting stealed off completely by the go-big midrange reanimator decks. Gives more play to the kind of sac-aggro we bring up here from time to time.

My experience has been that edicts that cost 3 are kinda tricky to play with, because they cost enough that your opponent will probably have built up a board when you get a chance to fire it off (unless you get it as early as t3). If you can get the delirium and you have enough planeswalkers...

slayer's plate I ran this in a draft and it performed pretty well. Makes creatures stupid huge, and a token with evasion helps keeping the beats in. Could it be worth a shot in cube?

I think that card should be played in some deck that can get it in the graveyard directly. If you don't have to use the front side of it to get access to the fork, probably the value of it goes up a lot. I'm thinking stuff like faithless looting and frantic search. I'd imagine it really adding...

Should this not be moved to "Single card spotlight"?

I think the best way to evaluate something like that is to build as good as a deck for that mechanic as you can in 40 card singleton, playtest against some 3-0 deck and see if theres an even match-up and that it is fun.

For the sake of discussion would like to tell us why?

I think it needs an environment that both runs a decent amount of artifacts as well as having a graveyard focus?

Ooh! I didn't know that actually.

Props to that girl for sticking up for that table though. This is far to silly a hobby to waste it on people with garbage attitude.

Hm, seems a bit.. volatile?

Another thing I think can be a good practice that I haven't gotten the chance to do myself is to try and sit down, build as good decks as you can with your cube and then playtest those. That way you can get some insight in what some raw gameplay is actually going to be like, and get a feel for...

Really feeling this card. With tormented existance and the artifact lands, perhap?
