Are you nuts? Without the tap symbol it would surely be a solid cube pick. As is however, meh.

You end up with 35*(360/600)/8 = 2.625 planeswalkers per player on average. That's actually more than two times the average number of planeswalker in my cube. 6 gold cards per guild looks good though, that's an average of 3.6 per guild in a draft, which is just perfect. Cutting back to 600 is...

Thanks. Sorry for not getting it right away, would have saved us both a lot of words. Despite of my opinion on Meteorite vs Gilded Lotus, this time I have to agree with Lucas. Your fourth land is relatively easy to make, so Worn Powerstone regularly accelerates you from 3 to 6, whereas Pristine...

I wasn't trying to be pedantic, I was asking an honest question. I really didn't catch that you were referring to the "I'm a fan" part instead of the "I like it better than Guilded Lotus", which is why I posted a long explanation of why I like Meteorite better than Gilded Lotus. I might have...

Darling? :D Anyway, according to your quote you found my statement hard to believe. If I post that in my experience Meteorite plays better than Gilded Lotus, how am I to infer that your real point is that you're not interested in a 5 CMC manarock period, rather than your point being, you know...

That is also true, playing Gilded Lotus while holding Forbid is certainly awesome. Still, Meteorite has relevant board impact, Gilded Lotus less so. Mind you, I never said Gilded Lotus is a bad card, it used to be in my cube, but so far I'm happy with the swap.

Sure! Mainly Commander and sealed deck (obviously Scars of Mirrodin sealed is my favorite!)

It's a chart with grades for the limited environments (draft & sealed) for several formats. Usually you'll see grades go from 1 to 10, but in this case they go from minus infinity (though triple Kahn's minus infinity is bigger (smaller?) than Scars if Mirrodin's sealed) to eleven (nice Spinal...

I think I might have already explained this in some other thread, but the reason that Meteorite play better is obvious once you dig into the metrics. Gilded Lotus accelerates you from 5 to either 8 or 9 (depending on whether you play a land on your next turn). Meteorite accelerates you from 5 to...

It certainly has CML written all over it :D

Steel Overseer is actually a pretty decent 4/4 or 5/5 for 2 in any deck that can stall. As long as you got time, it will get out of hand. Goblin Welder is of a high enough impact that it is totally worth it to run, especially if you run stuff like Smokestack, Contagion Clasp and Tanglewire (i.e...

Don't listen to CML, all of those blue cards plus the Skirge are playable.

Huh. A five mana black wrath you say?

Well, between Elspeth and Resolute Archangel I know who the bigger evil is in stymying aggro decks... Hint: It's not the lifegain card and that has as much to do with the fact that she's a six drop as with her other qualities.

I'm a fan of Meteorite. It plays better than Gilded Lotus in my cube.

Holy crap! How does Nicki Minaj sell that shit?

So close! At least I can replace my Goblin Welder :) But damn, did you see some of the cards? They did a pretty stellar job! There are some exciting new arts as well! Also, Chaos Warp reprint. I thought MaRo labeled that card as a mistake?

True that, but the "casteriness" does not depend on her being a 4/4, it depends on her ostensibly casting some kind of healing spell.

Serra Angel disagrees, 4/4 is big enough to wear sword and armor!
