You are almost right. It is even more: it is a freeze+bounce with an extra rider to not tap before it hits 3. I think it is quite good since it ‘unsummons’ immediately. It loses a lot of power when the opponent has a lot of etb that one wants to bounce.

I am on the fence. I like it, but at the same time it has the tendency to prevent people trying out things you did not even know that were there due to “forcing” players to adhere to the handout.

Why endless one? Stonecoil serpent

So, in 5 years we have extended again?

And after combat? Do you lose it then or is it mandatory and you back up the truck? Playing where one cannot forget a trigger and go back is a tad nasty when playing for fun.

hmm, I own an urza’s block cube. There echo gives a lot of nice tension and is quite fun. The only thing is in the beginning to remember the triggered ability.

Hmm, I always liked the modality: keldon champion Kavu titan One gets played optimally, the other often not. The titan is often sandbagged to be able to kicker it while the best play would be to bear it. The champion was quite a good creature were one could abuse the echo to sacrifice it...

What’s wrong with echo? The same thing that is wrong with all upkeep triggers?

Besides the point of bootman, deed is often used in decks with high mana cost creatures (compared to the rest of the field). Therefore, the deed can be a one-sided effect. Breaking the symmetry on damnation is harder.

Well, how many turns can you exile a creature from your graveyard? Especially in the zombify colours

Yes and no. The one green is often a lot better than a colourless (Eldrazi shizzle/fake 6th colour forgetting) when playing more than one colour. You need a shitload of legendaries to have the second ability be worth it. Yes, the 1/2 as opposed to the 1/1 is important. But does it really matter...

Well, not true. The one ring has a real downside. It makes you visible to the Nazgûl. And the Nazgûl are stronger than any man (only beatable by a hobbit and a woman in the book). Tolkiens writing is kind of sexist, as most fantasy.

And that is why there were blocks: Thematically the same, art style the same, and in the beginning even the same abilities!

Thing is: in the old days there were 2 a 3 new abilities in the first set which was expanded upon in the next sets. This was changed to 2 abilities per set. Hence no use for blocks. Thing is that expanding was really nice from a play experience. We do not need blocks, just expanding the next sets.

Or a surprise phage the untouchable

Will not work, it is very easy to block one creature if you want to protect it.

I am curious how a submarine gets to an open space in the forest…

Holy fuck. That card is bad even in old standards. The only thing that is good about it is that is mythic. So in a draft/sealed you won’t see it that often as opposed to Last caress

You are right that tribal is hard to do in cube/limited (especially if you have more than one tribe in a colour). An exception is when the support is accidentally, like beasts. Onslaught has more to offer so I would suggest just ignoring tribal and only add support when you think the tribe is...

Well, let’s split it into some parts: Inni/rav cube: Nope, my playgroup is used to old cards and the playstyle that comes with it, e.g, weak creatures and no must answer cards. rarity ratio: almost equal between rare, uncommon, and common. In those days rarity often did not imply power, but...
