Beautiful.

Unh. Morphs are so underpowered in environments not carefully constructed around them. Who want's to pay {3} for their 2/2? Silumgar and Sidisi seem decent though. I love the twists on old characters, curious what else we will see. Edit: I fail to see how Stratus Walker is enormously pushed...

Esper has a bit of the same problem, though it needs to get to six, not eight. I kind of like both of these. They may not be super sexy, but they get the job done I think.

Well, the three big Grixis spells are three different card types, so building a balanced cheat card that also feels Grixis is going to be hard. There's also already a reanimator and an artifact subtheme in those colors, so adding another cheat mode is not really the way I want to go. It is...

Actually, the Sphere is plenty playable. It helps that you don't have to pay the cost at once, and you know what you get. For 5-color decks or nongreen decks looking to ramp into big threats, this is a perfectly servicable cube inclusion I think. (This statement obviously doesn't apply to...

The art on the last one is nice! Different enough that people won't assume it's a card they know. I assume you found some hi-res art somewhere? Or, wait! The Talon Gates are a Nicol Bolas-related place that would be pretty perfect for this. And the art is used on a Plane, so there's no real...

Evaluating lands is hard, but I love the flavor you put into these! These names are evocative and neatly fit the mechanics.

I was about to, but then I realized I had a million other anthems, so I cut it from my previous list. In hindsight that was a pretty silly cut, because this makes everything Golems as well, which is The Best (TM) in Splicerworld!

I think I'm going to simply mirror the art on Gem of Becoming. Now the question is, do I want one of these in my 450 cube or two?

So, I'm looking for a card to help Grixis, it not other colors, help cast its fatties. Grixis is the go big or go home color in my cube, using removal to survive the early game, then end the game with haymakers (notably Thraximundar, Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker and Cruel Ultimatum are all in my...

Not that I run the golem tribal package, but I do run two Blade Splicers, and based on my experiences there are a few unmentioned cards that work really well with these splicers. I'll skip the obvious anthems. Champion of the Parish Reveillark Parallax Wave Military Intelligence Crystal Shard...

Yeah, I liked that song!

The hip hop part wasn't really my cup of tea, but at the moment your picks are right up my alley. Got a track listing for us after you finish the show?

Nooooooothing is happeniiiiiiing :(

gem of becoming So, given that I support Grixis, and that it's mostly a control shard, is this playable? I currently run Unscythe, Killer of Kings, but that wasn't very satisfactory for the player who ran it yesterday. The other alternative is a custom card, but I suspect Gem's effect is...

I won a 4-person, round-robin, silent auction draft yesternight. Ones 1 Chain Lightning 1 Path to Exile Twos 1 Steel Overseer 1 Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage 1 Selesnya Charm Threes 1 Blade Splicer 1 Deal Broker 1 Phyrexian Metamorph 1 Banishing Light 1 Scepter of Dominance 1 Stormbind 1 Volt...

Bouncelands and storage lands are both pretty unsupportive of aggro decks. That might be a concern.

The trilands have been more than adequate in my 3-color environment.

Flutterpriest is probably better in mono-green. What if she's a more palatable Hornet Queen? I also thought of some cheap shard/wedge creatures. Well, shards as they are defined in my cube anyway.
