    I feel generic value 3 drop will probably find its way into my cube... .. ... .... ...but it'll cost 1GG :P

    I always secretly worry that my breeding pools are secretly a 4/10

    I mean in the one set where tapping for worse mana is an upside, yes. See boreal druid

    Man, the joy I feel at a good cup of coffee borders on sexual occasionally.

    Basically all of these cards require that you aren't losing, then require you to start losing before they do anything.

    Also all of this debate would be so much easier if there existed "Land - Island Wastes" dual lands, but no, wotc hates good mana. In the format that is ALREADY RUINED BY GOOD MANA BECAUSE YOU DUMPED IT IN ALL AT ONCE I never fucking forgive them for all the unfinished 5 card fixing cycles that...

    30-40% seems totally fine for Eldrazi Displacer, where activating it isn't always necessary/what you should be doing anyways. As for the <> spells, A) I feel like 90% chance is a lot to ask for everything. to cast grizzly bears 90% of the time on T2 you need 9 green sources, and 14 to cast...

    I mean is there someone somewhere who is really really excited about the concept of running this guy alongside Storm Entity, Burning-Tree Emissary, and Manamorphose? almost certainly. Am I that person? Not likely. This creature is the ajani activation I probably want

    Honestly I've found it great there too. If it's a synergy based enviornment, it can go find vengevine early and smooth out draws late (Pitch Birds find Titans), and if it's a more grim monolith enviornment, the tutoring aspect is crucial, given the vast power differences between random creatures...

    Seven? Jesus, how many colorless cards do you plan on adding? Like how many red sources do you end up running if you're splashing a bonfire Banefire or whatever? Sure this is more frustrating for junk like kozilek, but I think he's the first <><> card we've seen so far, and he costs 10, so...

    I get the feeling there are depeer problems. Looking at this re-do, basically all thats been done is add a few more legends, and give all the horrible unplayable creatures +2/+2, as well as some wording cleanup. I mean congrats to whoever this was for making banding halfway easy to understand...

    IIRC Mind Stone without the draw ability is too strong for standard, thus explaining the costing)

    I think I'll probably design a custom card like "I thought not" over there, unless some testing convinces me that the bananna mana guys are totally doable. Bearer of Silence on the other hand is the opposite of what I want in a nekrataal: can't pod it, can't block, gets your opponent's worst...

    See, I wanna like it 2, since 2/3 for 2 is one of my favorite little vanilla dorks, but part of me wonders weather I like this card because it's blatantly powerful in ways I'm not sure my cube needs (Like for Eg, I planned on adding all 10 manlands once this set came out once I found out they...

    I cut chain of smog because it was almost never ever correct to send it back. Like I'm totally fine with :1::b: mind rot, but theres just so much extra text there for basically no reason. (ATM I run BB rebound target opp discards a card)
