Four cards is so much better than three cards though!

Jeez! Sweet spoilers today! I'm on a strict non foil policy, but these expeditions are excellent for driving down normal prices and still gorgeous to look at :) The red Gearhulk does not disappoint either, what a sweet punisher card :D Gorgeos basic lands as well! And on top of it all the chilli...

This is correct.

Torrent of Souls is certified awesomeness!

I'm on the fence about converge as well. On the one hand I have an environment with a clear focus on shards, on the other hand there isn't really enough cards to have a meaningful density of cards with the keyword, meaning you have to read the effect each time. Somehow reading a card without a...

Crater Hellion is awesome. The only reason I cut it is because it overlaps functionally with big Chandra.

I clicked on the link in your signature and clicked on the CubeTutor link provided in that post. Please don't hold it against me that that didn't lead me to an up to date list. Also, sorry for frustrating you. It's probably because I can't quite make you understand my point, or at least can't...

Sorry, edited my post to make it clearer. This is actually how you feel about the card, not how I feel about the card. I'm not going in circles, *we* are going in circles. You feel evoke makes Mulldrifter a more clever card than Cloudblazer. I feel evoke makes it a less clever card. At the...

Ok, let's try this. What I gathered from your posts Grillo is that you find Cloudblazer too blatantly "powerful", i.e. not at all clever about how it provides value. The card is very straightforward; you play it, you draw two cards and gain two life. End of story. I think our main point of...

The difference between our points of view is that you say "pure generic value" like it is a bad thing. Actually, I don't want to run the card. Or, well, I won't be running it, which is not technically the same I suppose. I don't run any blue white cards in fact, but if I did, I would totally...

Well... It's more versatile. You could call that somewhat clever or you could call that even more pushed, depending on what spin you want to put on the story. To draw four cards off of Momentary Blink you need only five mana with Mulldrifter, but seven mana with Cloudblazer. If you are looking...

I don't know what to tell you grillo. You keep calling this a pushed, valuetown card, yet Mulldrifter is in your cube. What's so super engaging about Mulldrifter that Cloudchaser lacks? I have argued multiple times that Cloudchaser can fill a niche that Mulldrifter simply doesn't slot into...

I was drafting a {b/r} sacrifice deck, and suddenly a Mystic Crusader popped up. Eeeeeeeewwwwwww!

I... think you read my posts with extreme prejudice? The first mention of elegance, by me, was in reaction to you calling Cloudblazer an extremely lazy (and boring) design. I'm wondering who you think advocated the inclusion of Cloudblazer based on elegance. There were multiple posts by...

Heh, I can't disagree with you. Rev does send a message that hard control is an option.

I think it fills a similar role as Sphinx's Insight, minus the blowout potential, plus a body and compatibility with more deck types.

Someone mentioned that Cloudblazer is exactly the five drop you are looking for in {W/U}, and I think that person is right. It fits nicely into blink strategies as well as in control strategies, and it won't be sniped away by other blue players like Mulldrifter is. Cloudblazer might look...

Since charge counters are on a permanent, and energy counters are on a player, I don't think that actually accomplishes very much.

I think the card is fairly costed. Yes, Mulldrifter is generic good stuff, but I don't think there is a single cube out here where it would be too powerful. Boring? Maybe. I think we can agree that Mulldrifter is miles better than this card, and monocolored! Honestly, exchanging evoke for an...

What happened to #teamelegance? This is a clean and good card. Lightning Strike plays well, despite being a "lazy" design.
