Delve is so much easier to abuse though. Requiring instants and sorceries greatly limits the cost discount that you can reasonably expect to get. It's also more comparable to Dig Through Time due to the CC in the cost. TC for U is possible and that is absurd value. I honestly don't see people...

Not for 6RR it isn't. That's god awful. So you need instants/sorceries in the yard. Tasigur would be unplayable trash if you couldn't reliably cast that for 2B, and compared to this it's perma-prowessed by 1. You'll need 5 instants/sorceries in your yard to get this to cost 1RR. How often...

This is a pretty awful finisher though. What is this doing on T6+? If you get concentrate plus a 3/4, that's certainly great value but it also means you were top decking. Maybe I'm just not seeing the appeal for midrange/control? Admittedly, this card feels hard to evaluate at face value...

Holy shit. That thing is NUTS.

I'm with Jason. There is a really sweet constructed deck for that card, but in limited (even cube)? How many instants/sorceries can you hope to get by T5? 3 maybe. So this is a 5 drop that gets you a vanilla 3/4 and 3 cards. I'm not sure I'm sold. That's good value for sure, but how often...

Scryb Ranger in particular is really great because it flies and has flash, so does all sorts of super interesting things in game. It's one of my favorite green 2 drops and that says a lot considering how much I hate random protection on dudes.

I hear what you are saying. And to each their own. I just feel like there are good breaking of rules (where it's established as "possible" by the overall laws of the world you establish). And then there's just stuff that essentially cheapens said world where this effect is not supposed to happen.

RE: Eternal Scourge Am I the only one that takes offense to being able to interact with cards in exile? Isn't that the point of exile? Those are gone gone. Exile isn't supposed to be graveyard 2.0 right? To me, this is a clear case of rule-breaking abomination, like vampires that can...

I run it in my Green module (90 cards - so not exactly comparable to typical cube lists from a drafting standpoint), and in the dedicated Elf deck it's one of the best cards there. My 2 cents... supporting narrow cards like this is worth it if: 1. The deck can actually come together 2. The...

Coiling Oracle is a card that plays better than it reads. The ability is sort of anti-punisher in a way because if you have a ton of land in hand, it will usually draw you gas (which you want). If your hand is land short, it is more likely to flop the land you want (or if it doesn't, you get one...

What about standstill? That's definitely going to the yard no matter what and tempo likes that card a lot.

FWIW, I think pacifism is barely serviceable. I run Temporal Isolation (which is an instant at least), and I don't even really like that. How much bounce you run will make these types of cards better or (usually) worse. Things like O-Ring are decent because they hit multiple permanent types and...

Does it need to be an enchantment? You might already be running this, but there's Psionic Blast. Which is 10 times better than both of those options. As long as you are OK with the clear color pie infraction of course. This is sort of like the green removal problem. I totally get wanting...

I was big on Surrak when it came out, but there are times it's just a 5/4 dude, which is fine but pretty marginal for a green 4. Vengevine is one of my favorite green cards ever. I can't foresee ever cutting that.

Primary problem I see is that combat tricks you use to buff your dudes suffer the 2 for 1 risk, so they have to really be worth it. Is a +2 damage worth that risk? Also, because you are in red, you have access to premium removal, which Immolation is not (comparatively speaking). So you are...

Whispers is fools gold IMO. Getting delirium in time to get the Hymn effect when it hurts most is going to be really difficult. Later in the game this effect is generally much less devastating (though random 2 for 1 discard late can still clearly be good at times).

Eldritch Evolution I think might suffer the same fate as "fair tinker". You are 2 for 1'ing yourself. In order for that to be worth it, you have to get something really valuable. Is +2 CMC creature tutor worth the price of admission? Maybe and maybe not. Tinkering into Steel Hellkite...

I also really like languish. Being able to wipe the board and keep your finisher is a really strong play.

I don't like it personally. Too vulnerable and a 4/4 flyer is really not as good as it used to be (see Serra Angel). I recommend Duplicant if you aren't playing it. Nifty card that has some play to it. Steel Hellkite is decent as well. If you untap with it, things get out of hand pretty...

I suspect unsubstantiate is going to be really good. It's a janky Into the Roil and a janky Remand, but because it's both that flexibility may push it over the edge of playability. Not 100% sure though since I never did care for non-kicked Into the Roil. On the fence with Niblis. I really...
