Sultai Charm looks really cool too, definitely more pushed than previous charms.

Oh my God, I need to buy this set to replace my proxies!

I like the names. They're appropriately sounding for the setting.

I don't necesserily agree. Recoil is the definition of staple effects, but it creates play opportunities that those staple effects can't achieve on their own. It is also a very elegant design. The more complex the card, the less likely I would vote for it in a 'best design' poll. I don't think...

Well, only on this site apparently :)

It's totally flashy, it even says so on the card! :P

Which I love, because it lets me put a few cards that support aggro in blue without being too obvious. Blue is not really an aggro color, but it sure has the tools to support an aggro color. cloudfin raptor sejiri merfolk snapcaster mage man-o'-war vendilion clique wake thrasher dungeon geists...

There's a few cheap 3/x's in white, including the Skyknight and the Marshal, so it does really well in a {w/u} skies shell. It's also great in {g/u}, especially if you get the +1/+1 counters Thieme Rolling, and I'm still figuring out if I want to cut something for Ion Storm, so that might be a...

I dunno, I had four people in my last draft with a (nearly) mono-colored deck and my fixing is pretty good, so even two-color decks should be able to cast it on turn 3 often enough if they prioritize fixing. Sometimes it's a 4-drop though, that's true. I like that it's flexible like that though...

Nope. It's what makes the card able to be played in multiple archetypes! As for {w/u} aggro support, I run these: cloudfin raptor Dauntless river marshal Sejiri Merfolk Lyev Skyknight Wake thrasher Those are nice cards that go well into aggressive {w/u} tempo decks. The funny thing is that...

It has flying, which breaks the color pie big time. I love the card, it certainly is in my cube, but I certainly don't think it's the best design out there.

Smokestack is certainly one heck of a design and a super cool addition to my cube. I just remembered another card that makes me withdraw my previous entry: recoil A blue effect and a black effect combine to create an effect that neither color should have access to, and yet, it feels so right...

Nice to see someone else doubled up on Blade Splicer. aven riftwatcher Blade Splicer Blade Splicer Flickerwisp Mirror entity Silverblade paladin Spectral procession Those are my white threes. I don't run Lingering Souls in my cube. Edit: I run the boobless version of Spectral Procession.

Well... Raise the Alarm is much better if you run Isochron Scepter. It's also in a color that cares more about anthem effects, though Rabblemaster, Hellrider, Alpha Orcish Oriflamme and Siege-Gang Commander are nice interactions.

Mystic Soundclaw {1}{g} Creature - Human Shaman (R) T: Add {g}, {u} or {r} to your mana pool. Morph {2} When Mystic Soundclaw is turned face-up, add {g}{u}{r} to your mana pool That sounds pretty awesome! Four mana on turn 3, or six on turn 4, take your pick. The unconventional order of mana...

I once pulled it of with Withdraw in hand and Venser, Shaper Savant in play. That too was ugly, in a good way. :) I wonder why I cut Withdraw, that card is so cool...

Yeah, I run Hammer of Purphoros for that reason. Edit: well, obviously I don't run it just because of Young Pyromancer, but mass haste is a wonderful ability that often gets undervalued.

Affinity in extended and modern is a completely different beast from affinity in standard back then. It was near unbeatable. Either you played affinity, or you ran mono-artifact hate, which created a really, really destructive constructed metagame, as shown by the flock of "babies" (you keep...

I am tempted to go for Island But I think my choice shall be Llanowar Elves Even though BoP and Hierarch are better, there isn't a single green limited deck that doesn't get better by the inclusion of good old Lawnmower Elves. It's still, after all these years of creatures getting better and...
