I never really liked cycling lands in my ULD (or at all). Am I just wrong? Every time I've done it, it felt like removing one more fetchable basic was just straight up wrong. I do tend to draft a lot of lands and run short of basics, so maybe that's why, I dunno.

That's a damn cool suggestion Dom. I'm gonna give sigil a spin. Even if it ends up being slightly worse than wargear, averaged out over a bunch of games, the fact that it has so much more play to it makes me want to give it the nod. And I'm not even sure that it will work out being worse than...

In my experience, grave titan was oppressive, primeval is possibly too good, but borderline, sun titan is good and VERY samey and boring (and was cut for being generically good), inferno never does anything and I'm beefing up my count of red sweepers to see if I can change that.

Ty for the explanation James. I think I was around during the early steamflogger boss era, but must have been on hiatus when brushwagg started. Also... there's a cube forum that's crazier and more liberal than we are? wtf?

Damn it, you got me. Can somebody please detail the history of this meme? I feel like it started shortly before my riptide hiatus ended and I can't be bothered to do the research...

Misstep is probably way too narrow. I feel like it shines in older formats where the likelihood of your opponent casting CMC 1 is dramatically higher. I ran Khalni Gem in a (much) lower power cube and it was fine there (does everything you describe and does them well), but sadly it won't be good...

Aw shucks Rave, we didn't mean to hurt the little guy's feelings D:

Not to be a contrarian Jamesy, but uh... he does tap for mana :p ....and I'm pretty sure this card is still total dog shit. I'm not even sure I want this kind of effect hanging around, even assuming we were smart enough to balance it just right. I feel like there are a million other ways to...

Ahh I didn't notice you took out the tapped rider. Yeah, definitely fun and possibly busted :D

That command might actually be better than it looks (in a too good direction), but it's certainly fun. Also I'm a bit fuzzy on the rules for cards with multiple modes but does the current templating work so that I can choose to ramp and THEN untap all of my lands?

It's interesting that you went the rampant growth direction. That was one of the first places I went to, although my implementation was a split card cheekily named "Time//Place". I guess I like the idea of when time walk is actually just a bad rampant growth but I'd like to have that without the...

No haste actually. It triggers on my upkeep. I think this not making all creatures you enchant weaker (ala stab wound) and instead only making creatures with counters weaker may prove to be a significant difference in play. Again though, I'd love to be proven wrong :) As for the other card...

I'm pretty sure that last bit is actually the catch. The reason those slow limited formats work is that the four drops they play aren't JTMS, they're kozilek's predator. But don't let me theorycraft deter you Eric, I think there's a ton of interesting thought experiments and research in this...

Have you playtested this OZB? It looks kinda sweet, but my concern is that it may not do enough to affect the board when it isn't hexmaging planeswalkers.

I think the first strike life link one only makes the cut if pridemates make the lifegain potentially meaningful as well as heroic making the spell itself meaningful. I'm running it but I look at it sideways every now and then. FWIW I feel the same way about Undying Evil but every time I'm about...

starting to sound like somebody is finally able to get it up for magic again :D

edit: blehh somebody who knows how to post images without making them giant please re-edit. Until then: http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac21/skrap_mtg/wishrasLightNFS_zpsvylje85d.png

Don't forget tromple (I already forget what the reminder text on it is...)
