Is that here because its a playable card from Prophecy or because it works well with blue mana denial?

One of the simplest ways to help black devotion is to include permanents that aren't casually removed as well as spells that put permanents back on the table. Bloodghast, Nether Traitor, Reassembling Skeleton, Enchantments in general (but those that bring back creatures even moreso), Unearth, etc.

Ephara is totally sweet and unique, but I'm not sure if the white/blue decks my cube makes will hit 5 mana symbols in play. Fun with Augury adept too. I'm not sure I care about Pain Seer, its not different enough from Confidant for me to not think "why not another Confidant?" Kiora is...

I totally agree. One of the things that hooked me on Magic early on was the eclectic art, which I really miss. I would make a classic cube to maxmize that, but classic gameplay isn't as sweet as Modern gameplay.

I have run every card you are asking about at some point. Withdraw was run as a Grid Filler for me (I wanted to run a card from every set and you know Prophecy sucks). Its very good if you want to bounce your own creature. Undo is more reliable, but being an instant and costing less puts it...

Phyrexian Reclamation gives crazy inevitability if you can get it up and running with something good. Like Volrath's Stronghold, but you still get a card. Strands of Night requires swamps and 4 mana to start, but is similarly brutal. Slaughter is slow, but decent. Necropotence, Dark...

He started it!

No one has complained. Actually, no one even made a memorable comment on it. UU for a dude that can only attack and dies to everything isn't anything to really care about. People have had a much stronger reaction to the 1B Echo Bloodhunter Bat. You could, but I wouldn't. Seascoast Drake...

People always said he was not complete ass, which in my experience was pretty untrue. I assume making it cost 1 helps a lot.

White/Blue Heroic/Auras has came together in 3 out of the last 4 drafts I have run with records of 2-1. 2-1 and 3-0, so i disagree with your sentiments on the decktype. That said, Artisan of Forms was a critical card in none of those decks. My Latch Seeker is 3/1. 2 evasive power (even if...

For 2s that attack for actual damage, you've got Welkin Tern, the usually superior unless you lack fundamentals Carnivorous Death-Parrot that I dropped Tern in favor of and the unreliably awesome Mindshrieker. I also run Latch Seeker at UU with "cannot block". Artisan of Forms, Seacoast Drake...

Ok, I ordered it and was extra happy once I realized they were priced in Canadian Dollars because it was a few bucks cheaper than I thought it would be making it less then half of what Korean Dude wanted. Now, watch it be reprinted next month.

Lifebane Zombie seems to be a value producing 3 drop, so that's a like for like drop. Xman is more castable and more universally applicable, I like it better. The other choice that stands out to me is Death Cloud, but I see that's on the discussion board and probably being tested?

I believe that it is.

While Blood Artist is indeed better then Kalastria Highborn, Kalastria Highborn is still extremely competitive and worth running. As anyone who has tried to make an aggro deck will tell you, two damage is more then twice as a good as one damage and being able to swing isn't at all irrelevant...

Formula D Expansion 2. Some dude in Korea wants $65 plus a godawful amount of shipping and says it "Might take a month" to get to me, so this store seemed significantly better, even though they also want a lot for shipping.

Do you know about a store called Snakes and Lattes? The reason I ask is that they apparently have a game expansion in stock that I can't find anywhere else. Are they reliable? They want friggin $25 to ship to the US, so I wanted to be sure.

Speaking of Spike Jester, that's another multicolor card I'm thinking about trimming. Does he add significant enough speed to B/R aggro to justify all the 15th picks he takes on being useless in any other deck. I really want to jam Sejiri Merfolk in my cube too now, that's another slot that...

I already run Aristocrat and love the card. She is not merely another red hasty four drop to me, particularly since I don't run hellrider or bloodbraid elf, I'm not exactly lousy with them. Being a sac outlet and potentially very resiliant are huge keys to her success. I'm not looking to...

Important if you run Blast from the Past
