    Oh man I didn't even notice! That makes me laugh :p Can his new name be "Middle Aged Pyromancer" though?

    Utopia Vow leaves creatures with passives in play though. Eh, I think it should be fine. We'll see come new years

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    I actually think cruise will be fine. I think the problem (if there is one) is that too many creatures have prowess, so the other decks might suffer.

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    It sure is insane. But then again, Divination is shit. I'm giving it a shot, but I think it'll be okay in that this is A) a 2-for-1 that doesn't affect the board, and B) a small enough amount of lifegain so as to not blank a whole attack step, but part of one. Stem the bleeding, not time walk...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Things to Note: -I haven't taken the plunge on treasure cruse yet. Should I? do I need more than one? -Are there any other cards from KTK I'm missing (Link) I was a bit sparse in adding KTK cards, since I was waiting for the dust to settle, then Warlords of Draenor came out.

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Hey everyone! Back from a cube hiatus from when Warlords of Draenor released, I've subbed in a new patch (Now live on cube tutor) addressing the removal concerns and expanding on some of the themes I've grown to love. I know you guys like seeing the art of the custom cards I put in, but I've...

    General Auras: Do they all suck?

    Colorless Merfolk Looter would be fine, but the equip side of this isn't too desirable. It'd be okay, but nothing amazing Unless the format has a pile of bears (Kahns) or small fliers (Vaporkin?) I don't see this card being too great. The base mode is an okay creature, but really unexciting...

    I feel like it's either too horrible and just dies, or kills their biggest creature every turn and decks them in like 3 turns

    General Auras: Do they all suck?

    Found it! Those living weapons are thanks to Mismir! Also the 3/1 flying has equip 6. The logic hasn't changed, but the exact number has. I guess you really need to ensure they can't play something and equip in the same turn. An aggro deck might hit six, but they're not hitting 7

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    It looks like a fine maindeck card to me. You might board it out from time to time, but it's unlikely a deck has no targets for it.

    General Auras: Do they all suck?

    I've tried a few pieces of living weapon before, but they're notoriously hard to grok. They also have the same problem most artifact creatures do in that they have to make sense in all 5 colors. Here's the two I had (Rather blatantly stolen from someone on these boards, though I can't remember...

    General Auras: Do they all suck?

    Same here, basically. One of the classic mistakes my playgroup makes is putting good but high curve cards in decks that really don't need them: Grave titan, Inferno titan, Elesh Norn etc all in aggro decks that otherwise top out at 4. They also swear by the goblin guide in control strategy, and...

    Can I get a text except because tumblr is super bad and verbotten at work?

    General Auras: Do they all suck?

    Notice how we also hate most cards with echo, and all equipment beyond a certain cost basically has echo? Who really has the 6 mana to play and equip sword of vengence and actually has the creatures to go along with it?

    General Baseless Speculation: Will Modern Masters be a good draft set?

    Wait, this isn't actually continuing on from MM1 is it? Like you don't draft it MM1 > MM2 > MM2 do you? (Or however that would be arranged) If I'm already as pissed as I am and we have ~4 cards spoiled (There's an art for what is almost unmistakably eteched champion, and Emrakul's card number...

    CML's Cube (405, polychromatic)

    Disdainful Stroke sounds strong to me. I still prefer the universality and interactive behavior caused by cards like mana leak and force spike, but "Counter target spell you care about" is certainly strong. I don't think I've ever played a deck with a curve low enough to make it actually dead...

    [Design/Construction] Lets build the Scuttlemutt Cube!

    I feel your pain about suspend. So many of the non-alternate casting costs of cards are so over budgeted as to be useless (My personal favorite is ancestral visions. I know why it literally CAN'T be cast, but come on. I would totally even pay 6-7 for just the option.) It's most of the reason...
