    Last time someone was playing it they chucked Firebolt and Gravecrawler. Not exactly a magical christmas land situation.

    This card does everything in every cube. For me, besides the mundane act of digging (which is hardly irrelevant), it chucks flashback cards for value, triggers the madness, chucks graveyard dudes, chucks lands for loam and helps set up replenish/living death/corpse dance. I think the impact...

    In my cube 4 gods and Old Man of the Sea clock in at 5 words. I'm not sure if Eight-and-a-Half-Tails counts as 1 or 5.

    The thing is, the average name length isn't that important, its the name length of the quality targets. A lot of the cards you want to cast an aggressive aura on get +4/+4 from this card and none of them get worse then +2/+2 (I guess Fettergeist and Thrummingbird can suck it?). The main thing...

    I had a very odd card evaluation experience today. Wordmail So, I was looking at this card and I was curious, but unsure if it would be a decent aura/heroic enabler worth cubing. Anyway, I flip over to my cube list and start scanning it and it seems pretty obvious that this card is fucking...

    I never "got" bribery in cube. It never even occurred to me that the card had anything interesting going on, so I never bothered to consider it for cube long enough to make an evaluation on its power level. Good or bad, it just seems like a dumb card.

    I didn't find the errata worth the baggage as other similar effects exist and do things more cleanly. Coffin QueenDiabolic ServitudeCorpse DanceHell's CaretakerVolrath's Stronghold and more recently Whip of Erebos

    That was me, however I didn't say the new version was "still insane" I said it was "completely playable". However, if you take a card and nerf the everloving shit out of it (vulnerable to removal, one turn delay, no multiple plays in the same turn) and its still completely playable, that's...

    Ramping by one while fixing colors in a manner that only a subset of strategies can properly utilize and providing immediate man making it only cost effectively one mana when dropped later. Among other things, this makes double signets on 3 possible leaving you mana one 2 for a blocker or removal.

    I run or have enjoyed running a lot of the cards I listed. I also don't run any mana rocks because fuck all those cards. If you want to ramp, play Remote Farm or go home!

    GRBS stands for Game Ruing Bullshit, which probably isn't the right term for it, but those are cards that are powerful in how they remove the other players ability to play in some way. Maybe the combo cards should be a different category.

    <--- #1 Jace hater on the forum. On the list, I think the mana denial cards (Sinkhole ,Nether Void, Plow Under and Armageddon) aren't too powerful, but can be legitimately frustrating in the wrong environment.

    I think at its best, cubes should be goal based and, by itself, a power level isn't a goal. While trimming cards with a very high power level is PROBABLY useful for many people's cubes, that's not necessarily a given. The first step of cube design should be what you want to do, followed by...

    Fungus update is on hold. Turns out dropping in eight green creatures (and a couple of other cards) is actually not that simple!
