Jeskai Skidmark

but less charming!

now even accounting for how this was a standard format that revolved around attacking with one creature (a titan, say, or a bird with a sword), to the point where freaking tumble magnet was good, this is an excellent point. tumble magnet! jesus christ. anyway, i agree the disenchant land is...

don't play my above list the mana sucks. i would play R/W without hordeling outburst and with brimaz if i had to play something tomorrow.

nah

I would rank non-fixing lands on Cube power level as follows (at least in my Cube), Strip Mine -- don't have for obvious reasons Wasteland -- don't have, kinda defeats purpose of ULD in my experience Shelldock Isle -- completely OP Gaea's Cradle Mishra's Factory Mutavault Gavony Township...

austere command

excellent. i am glad you were able to articulate this better than i could.

temur battle rage torrent elemental phyrexian reclamation

tried mastery of the unseen in cube the other day, by which i mean i played against it in draft and killed him with my onslaught of feral krushoks (shouting "straight outta stronghold" of course.) i mean, it did something, so it was better than luminarch ascension, but, uh ...
