Sweet report! Abbot is like $2,50 on CFB, that's cheap enough to try it out, right?

Oh yeah, if it was a gift things change of course, but then he also gets to keep the FoW and the Mox. From the way the post was worded I assumed it was just a "hey I got no money but I want to draft this thing, do you want to pay and keep the cards I open?" thing.

If you pay, the draft is already more than enough reward, right? You don't get to keep the cards you didn't pay for.

I am quite amazed that this has sparked such a discussion. On second thought looting is probably right. There's only three cards I would hate to draw right now (Control Magic and Sift), so there's 23/26 chance that I'll draw closer to one of those three cards and still get to keep the removal...

It's not a land, it's a spell, keep that in mind. How good it is depends on your list. It belongs in a cube with fast mana, silly good creatures, and broken equipment. If your cube runs, say, Grave Titan, Hero of Bladehold and Sword of Fire and Ice, run it, otherwise I would stay clear.

Thanks! That's a seriously nice compliment to get :) For the viewers at home, there's like six customs in there or something, not counting the land. The deck in its full glory can be found here!

I wouldn't call it a blinding hatred, I do cube with Mother of Runes after all ;) (though that card simply asks for two removal spells mostly)

Yaaaay, you got two uncommons for your rares! Deck looks super sweet though, it's a pretty good draft environment as far as I can tell!

Is this the right mana cost for this effect? Seems exciting on turn 4 with a one drop in tow, but decidedly unexciting at {3}{r}, so I guess it is? Anyway, Spawnwrithe meets Pyromancer's Assault, which was failing spectacularly at promoting the tiny two spells matter subtheme in {u/r}.

That's my strategy when looting. If I have only cards in hand that I don't want to discard, and there's good cards in my deck that I don't want to discard, I don't loot.

I gather you are looking for a 5 cmc flyer in white? Reveillark is my first pick easily. Karmic Guide is a lovely card if it weren't for that silly protection ability. I loathe permanent protection abilities like that because they can randomly shut down an opponent's deck, it's probably my least...

Ability on the stack, Dismember, you mean? :)

Yeah, that sounds like a nice way to set it up. I chose to go the other way though, setting {c} as a truly neutral color by scattering it through all colors, with the help of customs here and there.

Ah, true, but I run Crumbling Vestiges in my basic land pile instead of Wastes :)

That would play awesome, is my guess, but I'm heavily disincentivizing fixing outside the supported five guilds. All the green ramp spells search for basic Forests for example. Also, I need the card to tap for colorless mana to support the Eldrazi madness.

Yep, all of the ten three color cards reward you with the corresponding triland! The hybrid cards don't, however!

Yeah, I can't get away with that. Not everyone in my playgroup knows the abilities in and out, so I want the reminder text.

Thanks! Also, sometimes you'll need the land drop, sometimes you'll need to stay on curve, and sometimes you'll need the colorless mana. If it's turn four and you have a Thought-Knot Seer in hand, you have a pretty compelling incentive to just play the land, even if the cycle ability is awesome...

To be fair, any land that produces colorless mana (and there's been a lot of them) are a Waste++ if you discount the fact that those lands aren't basic. Riffing off your suggestion, how's this? The triggered ability goes on the stack after the cycling ability, so you'll draw the land you...
