Think they are great for cubes I like Chris's comment that's it's like an aura with split second. Your creature gets upgraded, can't be 2-1'ed in response, but could after the fact. Not sure it's even really ramp, more like sacrifice-based midrange. But that's just semantics. I think all the...

I think they are almost all worth jamming in a creature heavy deck, tbh. I splashed {U} just for two of my Emerge cards. I probably wouldn't go ham on splashes to get them to work, but if you've got a theoretical RG deck or something, splashing a third color for them isn't out of the question...

Thanks :D in terms of tip-like thoughts: I think Delirium is too hard to try to mess heavily with in this sealed environment, so I'd steer clear unless the cards are good enough on their own (like Gnarlwood Dryad). really need more than two packs worth of the SOI enablers to get there with it...

Went 3-1 with this little pile. Seems like I just can't escape prereleasing with GB these days, and I'm ok with that, I guess, if it's working :D. My promo was an Identity thief, which was all sorts of dissapointing, but I did also pull a foil Scourge Wolf, so that's pretty sweet. Ones 1...

I'm super excited to try G&G out. I think my power level is low enough for then to be at least cool role players and/or some neat stories when the deck comes together and "goes off"

Basically the way I look at it is, a truly elegant card has to be able to interact in the format its in, to be a part of it, to actually be elegant. Without that it's just a wasted or suboptimal slot, which shrinks design space and is just awkward. Imo. That might be slightly beyond the scope...

I like DFC's, and a lot of them are elegant designs, but inelegant executions, if only because flipping the card around all the time is messier than not having to do that. I've found that people get used to it pretty easily, but I do worry on occasion that the full power of the card is escaping...

What are y'all cutting to try and make way for lone rider? Same goes for selfless soul, I guess. That section of my cube is stacked, as far as I can tell.

I'm on team "siege is good but not broken". I think the difficulty of dealing with the Enchantment for some decks makes it a little harder for my slower environment to deal with, so I decided to do with a more interactive version: chandra, pyromaster Who I think is one of the better designed...

I feel strongly that I am a combination of both ahadabans and shamizy in their posts. Design space is super finite in a 405 environment, I can only imagine in a tight 360. This is one reason I fall over myself when I think I've found a way to collapse a section of the space into something...

Haste can deal the damage to a creature if it blocks :)

Oh, I love EDH, but it has its downsides. This is especially evident when you aren't playing with your tight-knot group, like on EDH day at an LGS. The most important thing for me is definitely the interaction of it, and working towards everyone having a good time. That's why it's a little sad...

Imo, Best way to have a big creature deal it's damage in power to something the turn it enters is with fires of yavimayaogre battledriver

Actually the first illegal target so far on this thread, as far as I can tell.

Sadly, So Close only targets instants or sorceries

I'm pretty sure you get what I mean. The templating for giving other spells cascade is now the same

Why wouldn't you just word it differently?: Cascade While~ is on the stack, other spells you cast have cascade. Alleviates like 90% of the confusion, I think? Also the second line wording now matches Maelstrom Nexus

Chris's original rock idea is a better rampant growth with a ltitle bit of a downside (artifact). Might at least have it enter tapped, I think.

I think the 'Urborg Uprising' that is better positioned for more cubes is wretched confluence

I hopped on this train too. Hopped right on the freakin' Aggro train with a first Pick Asylum Visitor, hell yah. Deck just sorta fell together from there, probably needs a reach spell more than it has... maybe the Secure the Wastes in the SB. Looks like I'd have fun churning through some games...
