I just realized how great of a mechanic manifest dread is for battlebox. Love the interaction with Argothian Wurm/Shivan Wumpus.

Huh, I missed that one. Wow, I really like it. Not sure if it would be a good fit for a lower power environment, not sure if it is good enough for some max power settings. But it's a super cool design.

Little Duskmourn update As I stated before, I only change my cube twice each year (january and july), but I allow myself little upgrades when I get some new cards in between that van replace cards with placeholder status. Withering Torment ... replaces Chupacabra Echo The Echo has already...

I was surprised how few cards from the Innistrad sets were showing up with Parkers search tags, but now I realized that was because it didn't include Double feature. I actually have eight cards in the black/white spooky style from these sets in my cube. I don't love it, but it's slightly better...

Immediate swaps: Withering Torment Bear Trap I've been waiting for more decent enchantment removal in black and an upgrade over Silver Bolt, so I'll happily make that upgrade asap. Very likely with my next update: Unnerving Grasp Conductive Machete Clockwork Percussionist I love manifest...

I don't know if Zimone would cheat out that much stuff. Seems pretty inconsistent at least. And yes, Talrand is probably worse but it's kinda compareable as a four mana dude that spits out 2/2s with upside when you do the thing. Isn't it?

Let's assume, for simplicity's sake, the manifested dread is of similar value as the 2/2 flying drakes.

Zimone, Mystery Unraveler I am notoriously underrating landfall cards. How does she compare to: Talrand, SkySummoner Tatyova, Benthic Druid In terms of general power level

Thanks for that cool article+thread+link! This standard rotation wasn't the most inspiring for me. Currently I have 14 cards from these sets in my cube but almost half of them could be replaced easily. However, here is my top 5 with a short reasoning why I like them: 5. Touch the Spirit Realm...

But it's one of the best feelings there are.

I don't think this is true by any stretch. If we look at constructed, many premium removal spells like Bolt, StP are older than Psychatog. If we look at limited, we used to get Terror at common, now we're close to a similar power level again but not quite the same, even in recent play booster...

Just saying this because I read it twice recently and this is not mtgsalvation: Whether a card is outclassed or not is 100% and no percentage less your very own decision. Psychatog didn't get any worse since it's been printed, they just keep printing busted cards.

It also keeps every attacker without evasion back, as it always has to be treated like a 11/12 or something, then it becomes your finisher. Sometimes people are also kinda forced to feed creatures to it, so it generates card advantage. It is a discard outlet for madness and reanimator too. I...

Oblivious Bookworm This card, mechanically, is really intriguing. But man, I hate the aesthetics. I am actually considering to get a couple copies and try to alter it, have it be an actual worm coming out of a book shelf or something lol

That's a sweet Man-o'-War right here. I'm not cutting the original, but I might run it alongside the jellyfish and cut like Into the Roil.

Isn't it more like a 3/2 plus a 3-drop for 4 mana and 3 life?

YES Love to see more decent enchantment removal in black. the showcase version even looks pretty nice too.

Nashi, Moonsage's Scion Am I crazy or is this card not better really than Ninja of the Deep Hours or Okiba-Gang Shinobi? I know you get the CA for 0 mana but it's also four to ninjutsu and you only get one card.

Yesterday we did a 4-person-draft with my core regulars and ... it wasn't quite as awesome as usual. And that was kinda on me. You will see when I show the decklists: 1. {W}{B} Abiding Lifegain Midrange 2-0-1 (5-2) - the 1 is a draw Ones 1 Nested Shambler 1 Gnawing Vermin 1 Oona's Gatewarden 1...

It's actually just okay in that role imo, as you first have to pay 1-3 mana for a small creature, which limits what madness costs you can pay. I think Volatile Wanderglyph is actually better for that deck.
