    gamble iirc there might have been some hate for this card earlier which makes little sense as its about as good as vampiric tutor, which most of us run and enjoy

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    prism, but the other ones serve more essential functions. there isn't much difference between mana rock x and mana rock y. i could see myself running 2 talismans or something like that.

    yes stuff like prey upon seems good. really i'm not too worried about taxonomizing removal that finely, if the curve is minded then those pieces will fall into place

    i have met the people responsible for this. they are worse than the waitstaff at nerd restaurants. the sad truth is they suck at their jobs because they suck at life

    abstraction: -i generally dislike the idea of 'archetypes' and would rather not 'explicitly support' them so much as add themes that overlap with one another. if this is pulled off (as it has been a few times before) the result will be every deck being weird in its own way moreso than 'all the...

    Twin is a wretched card unless you're comboing (and is ergo-t poison), Kiki-Jiki is really fun even if you don't have combos. One activation in the absence of Sky Hussar, Resto, Pestermite, Zealous Conscripts etc. usually doesn't justify the 2RRR. It's a tough card to play around and play with...

    throw it in the list someone wanna hop in and get rid of the cards that are clearly better than the rest (like swords to plowshares)? good removal shouldn't necessarily mean "STP," hell, Chan, we could even cut Lightning Bolt though my vote is for (barely) keeping Path to Exile.

    Innistrad Themed Cube: 360 Unpowered

    Xenagos is pretty good, much better than RG Sarkhan but not functionally unique since he's more or less a duller Wildspeaker. You might consider Vraska
