One other thing about Lorwyn/Morningtide limited that wasn't mentioned yet, is how isolated the tribes are. All of them are in a particular color pair, and each color pair is basically nothing more than the single tribe it supports. This made it really hard to pivot into another archetype/tribe...

I think this is fairly weak unless you're running dedicated tribal. Vizier of the Menagerie is going to be superior most of the time if you're looking for this effect. Realmwalker is definitely great in dedicated tribal decks though!

Ok, I need to actually switch to laptop to let this sink in and write a decent reply. Wow. Ok, so... You all know I support three color factions in my cube, and one of the Mardu cards is Kaalia, Zenith Seeker. She's a well-statted minion, but it's slightly tricky to make her etb work. Angel...

That Skald's pretty decent!

I think Pyre of Heroes is an absolute trap in most cubes. Birthing Pod is actually relatively hard to draft around, in the sense that it poses some very real restrictions to your creature base. You want to run creatures at least up to cmc 6 to enable a decent chain, and you want to run multiples...

I agree it looks nice! I think the name fits the art as well! Don't forget to credit the artist on the card though ;)

This art might be cool: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/isvoc/ugins-triumph/ I believe this is actually fan art of Ugin and Bolas fighting? It's two creatures, it features Mister Manifest himself. Could be a good fit!

Can't say I have. I'm currently thoroughly ensorcelled by Spiritfarer.

LIAR! ;)

Short answer: No. Long answer: There isn't enough support or payoff there to support the theme in mono-white, but there are enough cards there to support it in {w/b} or {r/w}. I imagine it would take a bit of tinkering to make sure {b/r} isn't going to steal the thunder from the white...

Speak for yourself :p I honestly don't find Ancestral Blade boring at all, and it's a card I'm always excited to play, precisely because it's so versatile!

It's an imaginary 6/6 :P

It's basically morph, but card type agnostic and without the Grey Ogre body. I think your example is too straightforward. There will definitely be designs like that (just like there were with morph), but I also fully expect designs like this (if the mechanic will indeed see print as rumored)...

Don't you ever worry about Ancestral Blade being too boring japahn! Every aggro deck needs solid two drops to function, and this is one of the most interesting ones I've found. Like you said, it has so much play to it! Also, there is only so much you can do for two mana, these are never going to...

I cut the combo from my cube because I didn't find the repetitiveness fun, plus paying only a single {w} for each 1/1 soldier is actually a rather powerful rate in any cube where you have time to assemble and capitalize on a combo like this.

I cut him from my cube for being slightly too efficient. Flesh Carver is rather hard to interact with, and it's hard to get punished unless there's a bunch of exile effects in your cube.

Repeatable scry 3 is a lot stronger in formats with either a wide power band (where finding your bomb means you likely win) or with a strong combo element (where assembling the combo means you likely win). My cube is mostly synergy based with a relatively small power band, I don't think there...

I can't remember a single player complaining about the card. I don't believe it's significantly harder to interact with either, as Mystic Speculation can only be countered by counterspells and targeted discard, whereas my custom can be targeted by (sorcery speed) graveyard hate. With the...

Any archetype, since it's a one mana white cantrip?

It has been fine in my experience. Scry 2 is a lot less overbearing than scry 3, and 3 mana is typically quite a huge investment in the early to mid game for a card that doesn't affect the board. In fact, it hasn't been overwhelming at scry 3 + Invest either, but I did feel I needed to make the...
