vs. vs. The original is pretty bad, right? The first alternative is a pretty simple alter, but maybe/probably too strong? The second option requires a bit more altering, but looks like a more balanced option to me. I like spell mastery as a mechanic, it's pretty grokkable. It's just a pity...

Scuttlemut?

In a vacuum, what do we think of fear and intimidate as a mechanic in our cubes? In general, I've been pretty down on uninteractive mechanics like hexproof, shroud and protection, unless they grant it temporarily to protect a creature/permanent. Intimidate basically reads "unblockable" except...

Aw yes, another one that can be linked today!

I think the design is clearer if you align the activated abilities. There's a reason you get the same effect whether you activate Soul of Zendikar (and the rest) on the battlefield or from your graveyard. Plus, you're already tacking on an extra ability.

I would be surprised if it is too good. If you want the cards now, it is a 3 for 2 (assuming the fighting creatures kill each other). If you're fine with waiting, your opponent will probably have to trade something for it eventually, making it a 4 for 2 (you are still losing the creature after...

This one depends a bit on the group that is drafting. If it's an experienced group, blue is often overdrafted and green underdrafted, which leads me to pick Sylvan Library, as it's one of the coolest reasons to be green around. If it's a casual group however, green is more likely to be...

Well, one sucks if your opponent is playing a lot of goblins, the other is awesome if your opponent is playing a lot of goblins (but can still be cleared with a simple removal spell).

Yeah, the original art is made of pure win.

It turns Arcane Denial into one heck of a Counterspell though! Other nice interactions: Reckless scholar Compulsive research Dack fayden Careful consideration Urza's guilt Master of the feast Thought-knot seer Nin, the pain artist Swans of bryn argoll Jace beleren

Hmm... That sounds more like a red-green or red-black spell?

Though maybe the card is more than the sum of its parts. It's easy to ignore rarity on custom cards, but your drafters will definitely take the rarity of a card into account when evaluating how good it is. In all likelyhood this should be pushed to uncommon at least. Also, sigh is following the...

And let's not forget other classics like To quote Bran Van: "And she was just everywhere! I mean little girls wanted to be like her Little boys wanted to be with her And even planeswalkers somehow altered their physique just to be a little close to what Jaya represented"

In the process of creating new cards for my cube. Bequeathal + Prey Upon =

Yo, Laz, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish, but Jaya Ballard is one of the best characters of all time! One of the best characters of all time!

No, it's like "dies" in that regard. Just a convenient way to lessen the amount of words needed by using an evocative word, but the rules underneath stay exactly the same.

Crap! I have to reword all my token creating cards!

So... Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver I've heard some people call this too good. Though I've never had this experience, this might be true. What I do know for sure, however, is that it is a card that BU control afficionados can cling to if they see it early and they definitely get a kick out of...

If it is used in this fashion, chances are the caster will have to discard a few cards as an additional cost :) Awesome! Looks like I can safely try this out then! :D

Tireless Tracker still poses a nice management game of when to cash in your clues though, precisely because he grows when you do.
