    I don't say that often, but that's really bad. You need to be at reject rare power level for it to become playable. Biggest turn-off is the triple black, and it's not like devotion wants a 1BBB 1/1 to curve into Gary.

    Inscho's Turn 2 Cube

    I tested +1/+1 quite a bit, and found Cytoplast Root-kin really bad outside the counters deck and meh in it. Elite Scaleguard, though. That's sweet. High Sentinels was good for me - playable in other decks and awesome in counters matter.

    GG is a lot to pay for Masked Admirers, and a 2/5 is more interesting than a 3/2 when you are trying to create interaction. So Reach of Branches should not be discarded because it's a worse Masked Admirers. It's not worse and it's not that similar. I got a Reach of Branches because it looked...

    After years of green pump iteration, my conclusions are the same as Grillo's: Vines of Vastwood and Become Immense are good, Sylvan Might is weaker but works too. I'll add Briarhorn too. Giant Growth is the 4th in my list, due to sheer efficiency - keeping G open for +3/+3 is usually fine, but...

    Everybody, switch your manabases to painlands, quick! I like the Seedborn Muse ability on this. The 3 activated abilities seem a bit excessive. Power-wise, it controls the board well, but is slow and "dies to Doom Blade"(tm). Looks good for low-mid power cubes if you do support the...

    Breakthrough Was great in UG Threshold (technically Invasion/Odyssey standard, but more like Odyssey standard since there were no maindeck Invasion block card). I'm swapping Windfall for this, hopefully people (me included) will be less scared of running this one since it doesn't refuel your...

    I think Sidisi isn't as bad because: He has 2 abilities rather than 3, which is cleaner. Both abilities are quite narrow, so it reads like a single ability which may get better with other cards. Flesh Carver is the main offender for me.

    Cards that combo with themselves are ugly, design-wise. Except if it's done cleanly like Life from the Loam. If the board is wiped, you get the tokens even if Kalitas dies, right?

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    Looks like a low-power rare-only budget cube, with a mana base that's high-power all-rarities non-budget.

    Daru Spiritualist Lightning Greaves Assault Formation Totally a deck. More seriously, I have some brainstormed - err, gathered - lists of cards for defenders matter and toughness matters. Warning: crappy cards ahead. I didn't filter these cards by power level. Toughness Payoff: Doran, the...

    Card/Deck Loners

    If only they were compatible. You need exalted creatures on the field to get their bonuses, but then the creature you attack with is not a loner.

    I used to run Weathered Wayfarer a long long time ago, and he's kind of narrow - great in control on the draw, bad otherwise. Knight of the White Orchid and Oreskos Explorer are not as swingy, but follow the same dynamic. Maybe they are card for when you assume you'll be on the draw - after...
