I think if roots was in a modern draft set, it'd be quality removal now too. :) Draft removal has gotten a lot weaker than say murder.

So these mostly aren't actually very good removal auras, but they're all weird green removal that's not a fight card! Might be interesting in a low power cube. G/W aura control gogogogo! lignifyutopia vowarachnus websong of the dryadsvow of wildnessroots

I actually had the exact same problem. I was thinking "What is he talking about? Neither of these cards interacts with +1/+1 counters?"

I feel like this almost has to be a fake. Another basic land? But if these are real, holy shit mirrorpool seems awesome. A land that's clone or twincast? Holy shit.

I like Creeperhulk more. I think Creeperhulk has a better worst case scenario and a worse best case scenario, although the average case scenario for Creeperhulk looks great to me anyways. Creeperhulk plays well with more stuff; he turns mana dorks that you played earlier in the game into...

Fair enough. Maybe in next year they'll consider breaking singleton on things besides the weird corner case card that only gets a bonus for having more copies of the exact same card.

Right I forgot, but did I miss something or was that only on the Brothers Yamazaki? If it's just the brothers then I don't think that really means much. If anything that'd be almost worse since the Brothers Yamazaki is a case for putting two cards in a squadron not scattering them across the...

It makes me very sad that anotak is right. What I can't figure out is how anyone at Wizards thinks this is even playable much less a good idea. I mean, nothing in that pack costs less than 3, and even the cards that do cost 3 don't really do anything without either another turn or more mana...

Mystic confluence seems stupid pushed to me. The white and red confluences are good, but they kinda pale in comparison. I would say basically every mode on the blue confluence is good against almost every deck (in cube at least), whereas the red and white confluences have some rather corner case...

I haven't cubed with it yet, but I've really been wanting to try Mycoloth in a lower-powered cube. Doesn't do much if your side of the board is empty, but can quickly close out games if you set it up. Pitches to force, makes tokens, is a sac outlet.

Undiscovered Paradise I've been trying to think of how you could encourage drafting dynamics where aggro decks tended to be 4 or 5 color and control and midrange 1-3 colors. This land seems like something an aggro deck would want (particularly landfall aggro), but midrange and control wouldn't...

Whoa, Counter Lord Pridemate looks nuts to me. Then again, maybe it's 1 toughness balances it since you're likely to have to put the first bolster counter on it and it dies to everything.

I think this is the riptide equivalent of "you can always brainstorm it away and crack a fetch when it's not useful". Now if you could "pitch it (somnophore) to force" instead of pitch it to force we'd be putting it in every riptide cube.

My favorites nicknames people have come up with so far are Social Justice Warrior Gideon and You can't even Eldrazi. Also, that blue/red manland design is sweet, but is never going to happen ;_;

I think the joke is that he intentionally picked an overly convoluted wrong explanation. Like it sort of works but it's really much simpler than that. [/url]

I.. what?

NO U

That makes me think it would be cool to have a custom conspiracy that gives a named nonland card Scry X when you cast it. Not sure how big X should be.

I JUST got that.

Gotta agree on awaken looking sweet. It looks like it will come in various sizes. I'm all in favor of alternate cost mechanics and anything that gives lands more play. Makes for more interesting sequencing decisions and less bad topdecks. I'm glad to see the new ally doesn't just have a...
