    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    It's "Equip–Sacrifice a creature." It's not an activated ability with a cost of Equip. Seems like a reasonable card. Doesn't pull off a good Wargear imitation because you can't just throw it on a creature for free, but plays great with Gravecrawler and other cheap recursion/tokens. Even...

    No. Evolve has an "intervening if" clause. Imminent Doom does not, it just triggers when you cast a spell with the right CMC.

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    I 5-0'd our draft today, with this UB reanimator/control. Bruna and Sundering clogged up my hand a few times and I never got Bruna into play, but hardcarst Sundering won me a couple games. I also never played Tinker, probably didn't have enough artifacts to support it. Most games I won by...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Came here because I wanted to try an experiment for my BUG slot. I though this would be cool with Delve. Really a Tasigur without the body that becomes the focus of the card.

    I don't think discarding Devil's Play to set up the flashback is ever going to happen, but this is a solid instant speed draw effect and the discard definitely has some uses.

    inscho is talking about targeting your opponent with X=0 for a blue Funeral Charm.

    Angel of Sanctions is the only card so far that I plan on trying. It looks like it packs a lot of value into a card.

    Just because Insult is better than every similar card doesn't mean it's pushed. All the similar cards are just awful.

    An interaction that has definitely come up in my cube is Skinrender killing Hangarback Walker and still making Thopters.

    Yes, I was assuming he meant using the trigger to reset Undying, which doesn't work for that reason.

    That is also a nonbo. The Geist would still have a +1/+1 counter immediately before it dies, so it wouldn't come back.

    Exert is just a keyword action that means "doesn't untap during next untap step". They're separately making the "design" decision to not use it when they could. It's like deciding that Convoke is specifically for creatures and spelling it out on every noncreature it appears on, except it affects...

    Biggest disappointment in the set. I thought the point of exert was that they were finally keywording "doesn't untap during next untap step", so this could just be "Tap and exert up to two target creatures". Instead they're defining a keyword to mean exactly that, but then refusing to use it for...

    I think the "may" was because of the missed trigger rules as of Onslaught. If I remember correctly, a missed trigger would have been a GRV and frequently merited a rewind. On low cost cyclers, you might just want the card and forget about the trigger. So they added "may" to those (unless it made...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    The Eternal card is 6 mana requiring 4 black, it only works if you cast it, and there's no efficient reanimation. It's unplayably bad. I agree 8/8 flying/trample/haste is probably too good for the easy reanimation. While it's competing against stuff like Sheoldred and Griselbrand as a...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I'm going to try this out in my next draft: The seed of the idea came from a card in Eternal, but I think it will play well in cube. Obviously the main draw is a somewhat sticky threat for reanimator (in that it starts making tokens again if it's killed), but it supports token and sacrifice...

    General Gotcha!

    Your opponent is free at any point to propose a shortcut where you pass priority and then they [cast a spell / block]. You can then accept that shortcut. I don't think there's anything unethical there.

    Card/Deck Your favourite Gray Ogre / Wind Drake?

    I'd have a hard time justifying Mulldrifter as a Wind Drake. Lingering Souls comes a little closer to counting, but Hyppie and Chandra's Phoenix are the only real ones that comes to mind, Hyppie being much better.

    Card/Deck Start your Engines: A Temur Card Advantage Deck

    Oh I agree, I just think Ash Barrens with cycling would be as printable as Molten Vortex that also drew three cards. It's already one of the best 5c fixing lands, better than Terramorphic in most decks.
