I hear ya on the cost being literally double. I think the real strengths of the card are the layaway and the flying. With Mentor, you have to pay it then and there. That can make it a lot worse for blasting out spells on curve, with a low curve. This lets you just keep pumping out those...

Mentor of the Meek on layaway! and for CMC, not power! And with flying! Sweetness. :)

Also I think there's might be some issues in power evaluation of the Priest of Cursed Flame. Recurring all your removal, draws, etc. is absurdly strong. Soulfire Grand Master has to have the cards in your hand when you use it. Priest can come down T8 and immediately start re-using all the Doom...

Regarding specific design constraints set aside in the original article: "Specifically, I am looking for cards that: are independently playable have synergies with one or more cube themes or subthemes" Regarding new designs/already used ones: "Uh... I don't really care. Whatever is most fun...

Very excited to see how they work her onto a card! Gotta say though, you'd think if you are a werewolf that can change form at will, you (theartistwhopaintedit *ahem*) would design your wardrobe to at least hold up as well as possible? Loose robes? Maybe just take em off first? Hate to see her...

Well then. Signal Pest, you've been shamed back to modern where you belong, I guess :p. While I'm getting artifacts feelings hurt, I've been looking at this lumpy mass of hands, and wondering if it'd be a sort of cool one-card archetype: proteus staff With the general idea being Control...

Putting three cards on the bottom with Augur of Bolas means you are three cards closer to an instant and sorcery you might be wanting in your hand. Same reason I'm almost ok flipping 6 lands in modern CoCo, because now I've got 6 lands firmly on the bottom and out of the way. Obviously I'd have...

Not the only synergy, but definitely the best. You can cast a buyback spell and pay it's additional cost to get it back in your hand, I believe. (using oracle of bone again). You can use it on draw spells, saving mana to play the things you've just drawn. Again, not the only, but def the best...

A very cool card! Probably the biggest synergy with this with Split cards: alive // wellbeck // callodds // endscatch // releaseboom // bust And using the ruling from oracle of bones, I'm betting you can cast both halves of a fuse card! This is because you are casting it from your hand. Rebound...

That is probably true, but there are some decks who naturally durdle around more than others, and are okay doing it (environment speed could affect this statement, obvs). I've liked Guardian Idol well enough, but can see where it's not really super impressive/flashy. If you don't confine...

All this talk around the threads here of cool custom anthems has gotten me looking at pumping effects. What do we think of this little guy? Actually seems like a perfectly strong pick that can help aggression in any color? signal pest

Probably fine. If I'm understanding your formatting, it's costed as {W/B}. Might be a little fairer at {W}{B} or {W/B}{W/B} . 1 mana is strong, especially with a cantrip.

I'm not sure what to do about the tediousness either, besides only recommend Powerstone and Relic :confused:. I do like Unstable obelisk quite a bit. I am actually quite fond of this little guy: seer's lantern The ability cost is a little steep, but it gets closer and closer to "{2}, {T}: Draw a...

Sweet card. Templated a little weird for an enchantment if you are using WotC schemes for how enchantments work. If they were to make it the card would have no {T} and instead would have some sort of "Activate an ability of this card once per turn" rider. That's my best guess, at least. That...

I mostly don't like walls in cube that much, excepting the draw-walls (partially because the ftv:20 shiny Wall of Blossoms is awesome :)) . I like things making trades, bringing value. I like lone missionary because it can gain you a good chunka life and then block a X/2 in combat. That's a good...

I don't see the issue with Lucre's counterspell. It's the first half of Think Twice that taxes a spell or it's a two mana force spike. Taxing spells is strong. As an example, counter a three drop on their five mana -> they choose to pay and now can't pay for a removal spell or creature they...

It's a cool card. Two words of rules text leads to this sweet engine. I personally find the overlap with Anafenza too great, and would just run her instead, but it's a solid green aggro supporter nonetheless.

+1 for too good from me too. The amount of things that can take it way over the top is pretty crazy. Lingering souls? Even raise the alarm into curse is bankers. I do love my elfish PW's, apparently (I run all but OG Nissa). Like Tanner said, still strong but leaves more interesting options.

Imma actually also take the stance that control isn't really lacking pieces, its that aggro is helped along more relatively speaking. Control is the same old hodgepodge of "basically any jumble of removals, counters, draw, and finishers will do" but aggro has neon lights over it like "GO THIS...

Love that you also have the Life // death and Ascendancy synergy going :D
