Not too stupid, since this is an instant and Pyroclasm is a sorcery. Also, it's a one for one, even though resource-wise the costs aren't equal of course. Moreover, if they kept Pyroclasm in hand all that time and/or didn't board it out against your slow advantage deck, kudos to them!

It's also been around since original Ravnica, so if it would be nuts in cube I presume it would be an auto-include by now. Obviously it's not, but it's a decent removal card if you're toning down your white removal, i.e. if you're skipping on including only the most efficient white removal like...

I love build around me cards like this that have a broad enough application that they can actually work in limited.

It's an instant, that has to count for something!

I am not a native English speaker, and the literal translation of breaking in means to burgle in German (einbrechen). I knew this card was originally spoiled in German, so I thought they made a translation error. After all, burgling a mantis, come one! You learn something every day I guess :)

Don't forget a mantis rider's mount doesn't owe his master loyality! Do you have a mantis that has been broken in for years?

That is a pretty cool interaction though :)

Is it wrong for me to like this better than Journey to Nowhere? I guess I like conditional removal better than unconditional removal. It's also slightly better in aggro builds than in control builds, since you can't remove that Goblin Guide that's beating you to a pulp with this. I also like the...

This is the kind of protection I love. No deck should get totally shafted by this, unlike, say, protection from a color. Art is awesome as well.

Heck yes!

You gain an emblem with: "Whenever an opponent casts a spell that targets a single permanent, you may change the target of that spell to another permanent controlled by the same player."

I like Blood Witch, but {b/r} already has so many good cards you can play.

Exactly this. Realize you can do this at 0 mana as well, because you'll use it in a later turn for "free" with all lands untapped. How fair is a 0-mana Upheaval that lets you casts six+ worth of mana while resetting your opponent to 0? Not very, I'ld wager.

Well... starting loyalty should be 1 I guess, because suspend 1--{u} for Repel is probably a bit too cheap. I also think the -3 should be Totally Lost, i.e. "nonland permanent" rather than "creature", just to honor that card. Going by the flavor text (Fblthp had always hated crowds.), the...

This is replacing Archangel of Thune in my cube! It promotes interactive gameplay through Raid and it interacts with both the lifegain subtheme and the blink subtheme. Love it! Also, I played the crap out of Sierra's Albion and still think it's one of the best "rpg's" out there. Man that world...

It's a satirical piece. Have you read the Hand Series by Carrie Oliver? In the comments of the last one pro's disagreed with about every mull she proposed, calling some hands she wanted to ditch a snap keep even.

I love this Sorin. The artwork is stunning, he has a huge enough butt to survive, and he has a nasty but not insurmountable emblem. His -2 does seem weakish though.

So... Third set = Zendikar confirmed?

Oh man, this set is so awesome for my Battle Box though :D Now, do I order boxes or not...

Well... It's a Griselbrand that can't be reanimated, can't kill your opponent, doesn't give you the cards immediately, and doesn't offer a way to recoup the life loss. It's insanely powerful when it works at its full potential, but I assume it's harder to get maximum value from it in cube?
