What about a one-time-resetable wrath-like effect that may perfectly fit lower powered environments? Divine Reckoning The prophet is ugly because it exiles, costs 4 mana and is recurrable, for example with Tortured Existence, Phyrexian Reclamation and such. If your sac outlet also is an...

I liked it, too, but I wanted to weaken the card that is able to tap down your opponent's best creature every turn. An artifact is harder to interact with than a creature. Icy Manipulator on the other hand comes down a few turns later, which makes it quite reasonable for me.

Ulvenwald Mysteries is a value engine as long as you're slamming creatures onto the table while being able to pay the mana to crack Clues, which usually isn't a problem for green decks. In other words, it's easier splashable and playable in more kinds of decks than stockpile. Yes, the 'pile is a...

Yeah, my favourite pauper deck! Because of the different format, I played a version with Feldon's Cane and 2 Petal's of Insight.

I really don't like Stockpile as a sac outlet, and if you have to fulfill it every turn, Revolt can be a hard condition just to produce 1/1 tokens. For a multicolour card, I find it to be too weak. Vampiric Rites is something I like, Carrion Feeder and Yahenni are good unconditional outlets and...

Look at the OP. :D I've considered it, but drawing a card looks better than tapping another creature, especially if your opponent only has one threat on board, and Surge isn't much harder to fulfill than Spell Mastery. Still need to see it in practice.

Sleep is something I'll definitely try. What about Grip of the Roil ? For two mana it cantrips and functions as a lifegain spell, or enables your threats to hit your opponent's face, maybe for two turns. Tapping on attack is better for aggressive white decks, but I don't want my White decks to...

I'd rather sacrifice recurrable threats to get a token and draw a card every turn. :> Requiem Angel looks like an alternative that costs more and is easier to remove but also a hard-hitting threat on its own.

Do you find Ulvenwald Mysteries too slow or in the wrong colour for that purpose? I cut Evolutionary Leap for it and am quite happy.

Want to add to that section again. Bigger targets that I'd love to reanimate with Daretti and that midrange/control decks want: Thopter AssemblySolemn SimulacrumCombustible Gearhulk Did anybody already test the Assembly? I like getting tokens repeatedly, for going wide (hymn effects and such)...

Ah, of course I forgot about Tangle Wire and Ojutai Exemplars. Love them both.

I could interpret that as a good sign or a bad sign, depending on if that means Nature's Way is just worse than I thought, or if I underestimated Clear Shot. The problem I personally have with Clear Shot is that other cc3 removal seems to (clearly) outclass it as it's not as conditional. Are...

Makes me think of Triskaidekaphobia How would you rank the following for control/spells matter? Rise from the Tides, Mizzix's Mastery, Spelltwine It seems like Mastery is nearly strictly better than Spelltwine while Rise from the Tides hits the spot from a different angle. In the same vein...

As a lot of people here toned down their power level, I think tapping is something that could be very well discussed. The two main colours of tapping creatures/permanents are certainly Blue and White, and there are lots of different types of cards that tap something. If you want something as...

Nature's Way vs. Clear Shot Having my hard removal being conditional may open up the way for some green ones. I think I'd prefer Nature's Way because of its lower mana cost, as this kind of effect still is very conditional.

Yeah, I don't know why, but it seems that in my mind I put her into the category 'too swingy' because of constructed experience. In cube, she seems to be about perfect in power level. I'll try her out. :)

Undergrowth Champion and Aerial Responder both work effectively against aggro, which is why people shouldn't include them in their lists. I love the idea of curving something hasty into Responder into Odric, Lunarch Marshal but it's not worth the pain for aggressive decks. Are there any other...

Lone Rider and Crested Sunmare are both very playable with some incidental lifegain in your list as 3 isn't much and can bei done with buffs or ewuipment and the horse is a vanilla threat in its own, offering a high ceiling.

Angelic Overseer vs. Crested Sunmare Having a lot of humans and some incidental lifegain in my cube. My concerns are that Overseer is weak without humans while the horse possibly spits out an indestructible 5/5 threat every turn which could be a bit too strong. But I want a white 5-drop that...

I can see why you want to get rid of Frantic Search and Snap, smoothing draws or bouncing big creatures while ramping is pretty strong, the latter especially if you keep care of your ETB count. However, I don't get why you have to remove all of the package. There's two Cloud of Faeries in my...
