Yeah, I think I would have included Torment. With so many enchantments already, it's easy to trigger, and it hits like a truck! Even if you don't trigger it again, it's five damage out of nowhere in a nonred deck, something people might not plan for. Also, the Karador, Ghost Chieftain in your...

Those game-breaking Eldrazi are only game-breaking when they enter the battlefield on turn two off two Sol lands. Thought-Knot Seer is a perfectly reasonable card in an environment where it doesn't start beating down on turn 3.

Yeah, it is. It's hard to design fair lands. I don't really mind the etb trigger though, as playing out a colorless land is a very real cost. You can only play one land per turn after all, and colorless lands that do nothing else are quite horrible. Plus it costs 2 life as well. Maybe if I up...

Still looking for that elusive land design that is balanced, and fixes both colorless mana and two colors. How's this effort? Yeah, it's basically an instant speed, colorless Night's Whisper, but one of the cards you draw is a guaranteed land (provided there's one left in your library). Not...

I've found the instant speed of Hero's Downfall to be important for the versatility of my black removal suite, and Downfall certainly is better in the {U/B} controllish deck that also runs counterspells. Ruinous Path is cute, but ultimately was mostly used as a sorcery speed Murder. This may...

Play it a bit more and let it grow on you?

As virtuous men pass mildly away, And whisper to their souls to go, Whilst some of their sad friends do say, "I'll discard two," and then say, "No."

In the Wood Elemental cube both are preeeeeeetty awkward, yes ;) Incidentally, did you know Wood Elemental is on the reserved list? Yeah... Good job Wizards! You weren't afraid of angry collectors, you were afraid we would shy away from a game that could reprint that monstrosity at will!

Fair enough. It's kinda the red Upheaval in that regard, but easier to break because of our fondness for recursive threats, right? :) (And because planeswalkers...)

You mean if you have a planeswalker or game winning enchantment out? Because the rest gets DESTROYED!

Please, don't! I have to agree with Ravebornmuse. I was pleasantly surprised how cool Magus of the Wheel plays out. It's way more fun than I gave it credit for when I first saw the card and I've been really pleased with its inclusion.

Thanks James, you're awesome :)

I've been practicing a few (*cough* lot *cough*) of games against our artificial overlords, and I'm surprised that some of the cards I thought were chaff are in reality much better than I thought. I've had so much fun with this build for example! Ones 2 Abundant Growth Twos 1 Argothian...

Name one other creature that can (almost) kill on turn two with Berserk as your only other play. I don't think Berserk is the problem here.

Commander and Powered Cube happened while you were sleeping :P

I have run this for a long time, and it's never been GRBS, not even a bit. It's very good, when it works, but it's no Opposition!

I find all the rarity upgrades from uncommon to rare a bit jarring, plus they failed at reprinting Smokestack! I got Braids and Glare of Subdual though, I guess!
