He doesn't need to ult though. If Karn had only the first two abilities he would still be a beast.

I have to admit I swapped out Oblivion Ring for Banishing Light for the express purpose of preventing shenanigans. The reverse side of figuring this interaction out for the first time is the time where you don't figure it out yourself, but feel totally cheated because your opponent uses his...

True, but refreshing your Wave is very powerful as well. I also run some instant enchantment removal for the perma-exile interaction. Edit: That's to say, I don't run it for the express purpose of interacting with Wave this way, it just happens to.

Gideon Jura is top for me. It just does savage things to your opponent's board state and readily mops up your opponent after you've stabilized. I actually cut it from my cube because it does the same thing too well every time.

I played someone else's cube a while back and ended up with a sweet blue white control deck. In the finals I played a mono red aggro deck. We played something like seven games, and the player who went first won every single time. Either I could mount defenses quick enough, or I got slaughtered...

Yeah, there are a few shenanigans in my cube as well, but I'm okay with that. No Venser, but I do have... flickerwisp Brago, King eternal

Or, what if the player going second gets to scry 1 after keeping his or her hand?

Or a colorless lotus.

Yeah, see the Print this Wizards thread though for some recent ideas for a custom black planeswalker :) Karn is expensive, but a beast when he comes down. I've seen unwinnable games turned around by Karn.

So, play two! I think Greater Gargadon is a pretty smooth sac outlet as well, and if you splash green... Well, you all know which card I am talking about :)

Or you could do partial mulligans plus first mulligan is free. Works pretty well in commander :p

Karn, by the way, is near the top of Top for me. If he were any cheaper he would be broken, because games sure do feel like they're done and over when he hits the battlefield!

To be honest it would feel best if it was a real Magic card, but in the end the looks aren't as important as the feel. When you shuffle your deck, when your opponent cuts your deck, when you pick up your cards, when you casually rearrange the cards in your hand... All of these are negatively...

These are the planeswalkers in my cube, except for Ajani Steadfast, and how I would rate them. Broken (would always first pick, and draft so I could support this, and my opponents would weep rivers of salty sadness if I drew it) None Top (would almost always first pick) Karn Liberated Elspeth...

This is definitely not a book. If I'm generous I could call it a short story. Nevertheless, it made my eyes tear and I may have giggled :D http://www.touchofembellishment.com/2012/01/show-and-tell.html

Hehe, shipping to Belgium. Should be doable from the Netherlands ;) Making these is a lot of work though, I think it took 3 or 4 evenings plus a trip to the copy shop for 24 proxies! :confused: I'm thinking about acquiring some clear inkjet labels from Avery, as inkjet prints are sharper...

I believe Stirring Wildwood also saw some tournament play?

Thanks! They're not as sharp as I would have liked, but definitely good enough that I can draft and play them without being put off by the quality and the thickness off the proxy!

Screw it, Parallax Wave is an awesome mass removal card that both aggro and control are happy to play. You can't ask much more of your white wrath, can you? If the loophole is such a problem, errata it to work as Banishing Light does and simply notify your players of this. Oh my, I just...

Yup! Edit: And credited as such in the fine print at the bottom :)
