I think good dredge, retrace and madness cards can also play the same role as flashback cards in discard enabled decks.

Dude, everyone just put a 3-mana monocolored card that can hit only one artifact or enchantment in their cube. A 1/1 flash that destroys an artifact and/or an enchantment is not okay at two mana. Either way, not everything has to be a creature, and I don't mind a very good sideboard card. I...

Yeah, it should be obvious from the names alone that I had the filter lands in mind ;) It's an old adage that you can put a mana fixing land ability on a {2}-cost mana rock, though upon further inspection they only did that five times so far (see below, sometimes the other way around). I...

Any excuse to put in hybrid cards is a good excuse! Hybrid rocks! Hmm... Hybrid rocks? ... ... Mystic Rock {2} Artifact {W/U}, {T}: Add {W}{W}, {W}{U}, or {W}{U} to your mana pool. And just because I like the name of it, even though these colors don't need the effect... Rugged Rock...

Thanks for the review GenericZero, that's some decent input! Cantripping is fine in white, and mana taxing is in flavor as well (though usually affecting permanents). I think this card is sweet obviously :) Alright, how about this? Alter Memory {U/B}{U/B} Sorcery Look at target player's...

I don't know about landstorm guys, I think the counterspell example isn't even a card I would want in my cube. I mean, I guess I'll use my non-landstorm instant first? Since mana burn isn't a thing anymore, you have to be really careful with the bonus as well, since really, is tapping out that...

Sundering Growth and Frenzied Goblin are in my cube. They're not flashy, but a flexible Disenchant with upside and a 1-drop that can push through damage are both valuable. I should probably play Genju of the Cedars, since I run an enchantment theme in BGW. Foundry Street Denizen isn't nearly...

Spell Tax {W/U}{W/U} Instant Counter target spell unless its controller pays 2. If he or she does, draw a card. Mindreave {3}{U/B}{U/B} Instant Target player puts the top 3 cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard. Then you may cast an instant or sorcery spell from that graveyard...

With six people it gets better yes.

Yes, but this time you're not paying 6 life, and the card is a lot harder to remove. You could also, conceivably, use Hecatomb as a 6-mana Arc Lightning. Eh, four creature is a lot lot lot though.

I like to think participating in this forum helps, let's check! not breaking singleton: cured not enough fixing / control-oriented fixing: cured, mostly (in part because of the utility land draft) failure to proxy: cured poison principle: cured, mostly (artifacts are still a somewhat poisony...

Hecatomb Is this at all feasible? The effect is stellar, but the cost, mama mia!

The downside of this is that you don't (hardly) wheel any good or playable cards, so the real card pool is much smaller than 44 cards. Guesstimating that getting a playable card out of the last four cards in a booster pack is lucky, you'll get 3*((3*2)+(5*1)) = 33 playables out of a normal 3*15...

Karador doesn't come together often, but when it does... Looping Shriekmaw, Blade Splicer (of which I play two), Acidic Slime, and others is just so brutal!

As long as it's not as stupidly obnoxious as True-Name Nemesis, I hope so too. I got several cards in my cube that were originally printed in a Commander precon, and they're all fun to play (though not necessarily fun to play against :)). unexpectedly absent Ophiomancer Toxic Deluge Curse of...

I think it fits perfectly in white's philosophy, after all, you're punishing the one who's ahead. That's exactly what Balance, Wrath of a God, etc do.

Mindthrust Mage {2}{b} Creature - Human Wizard Whenever an opponent shuffles his or her library, put a +1/+1 counter on Mindthrust Mage and that player loses 1 life. 1/3 If we're shuffling all the time anyway. I also think you should just call contract channel, the mechanic already exists, and...

There's the Masques block free spells that give your opponent life. Can't remember any of the names right now, but there's thir really ugly 2/2 wurmlike creature that I should post in the ugly art thread...

Ok, I'm supporting an enchantment theme in white, black and green, and I want at least one enchantment in each of the 3 guild colors. So far I've got. Underworld Coinsmith Gift of Orzhova Nyx Weaver Pernicious Deed What should I run in Selesnya colors? Sterling Grove Armadillo Cloak Glare...

Chittering rats All of the Dross art is ugly, I don't think toxic waste is something they should have done in a fantasy game. I totally missed the needless underboobage on Auriok Transfixer until now, pretty horrible fan service. To be fair though, there was excellent art in Mirrodin too...
