Man, you guys are just making me want to rage on Planeswalkers again. I know no one wants to see another rant from me on that, but threads like this almost COMPEL me. Must... resist.... urge...

All this angst is totally unnecessary guys. Card type = Planeswalker. You don't need to read any further. Auto un-include. :) On a side note, the looting effect is sweet. The steal artifact effect is not (I'm with FSR on that). It would have been OK if the effect lasted only as long as Dack...

LOL. You won't get any arguments from me. I was convinced once I saw the card type. :)

Mana flood/screw is definitely a weakness in the game. And I think it's why I really like cycle effects and scry because both really help in this area (some of my favorite lands are the cycle lands). I had a friend I used to play with regularly and we hated mana screw so much that we came up...

I think without hard numbers, trying to rely on whether guys choose to go first or second is not going to be accurate information. Perception is more important in that case and perception isn't always reality. I saw a study a long time ago made with emergency responder types (I don't remember...

It's solid because it does so much for just 1 mana. And it is distinctly a white effect. It's in my top 5 for white one drops, maybe even top three (after Mother and Swords to Plowshare). It's just a fun card. I tend to rate combat tricks highly though as I think they make things more...

If you don't mind keeping us posted. I'm interested. I was planning on throwing Future Sight back into my next update, so when I saw the creature version being recommended it really made me curious.

Wolfir Silverheart and BOP are great friends, and that sort of comes out of left field when you turn BOP into a 4/5 flying monstrosity with haste. That has happened enough times that guys make a point to kill BOP even after it starts to seem "useless".

If I had aggro lovers at my table, I think I would totally do this as it makes sense. But right now, I have aggro as more a specific deck that comes together sometimes versus something that is always represented. For better or worse.

At thier present price tags, I can't do that. I think both cards are strong, but $20 strong? I'm waiting.

That should have been obvious. Duh. Lol I've never run future sight long enough to get a feel for how broken it is. This card just seemed so fragile with the 3 toughness. I may try it though. Is this guy really solid in your meta or more fringe? The effect is stellar IMO if you get even two...

Scry is a great ability. I wish the ball only cost 2 mana though because 4 mana for Scry 2 is awful if that is all you get out of it. The game has to go long before that card really becomes a good value. My cube is certainly slow though, so I may toss this in and see how it does. I'm not...

One nice thing for this tread would be if guys added some commentary to some of these cards. I love hidden gems and I've found a lot of the ones I run from threads like this. But adding a little context around why the cards you listed are good and how they tend to be played (which decks or...

Crystal Ball looks so slow. Is that really worth the mana? Mystic Speculation looks interesting actually.

Contagion is great. Any card that has a free mode mana cost is exceptionally good in cube. That is what makes Dread Return so good (another card people should run IMO). Why run Magus of the Future when you can just run Future Sight? The body makes it much more vulnerable. Is there an...

Sell me on Lightning Axe, Ephera and Fire Covenant. I have holes I could fill in these areas and I'm interested.

Great lists you guys. I run a lot of those. I'll add mine. Haakon, Stromgald Scourge Snakeform Final Fortune Harm's way

I have, but not extensively. I certainly agree it is very good, I'm just not convinced it's broken to pieces is all.

I'm tempted to try out Battlefield Thaumaturge. It looks cool in blue tempo and I support that.

Yeah, but it's pretty easy to disrupt too so it feels balanced and not broken. Absolutely every piece of removal in the entire cube kills Heirarch and there are plenty of two for one burn spells that completely dismantles double mana creature (not just Heirarch). 5 drop on turn three is solid...
