I hate the 3 toughness, but other than that the card is awesome. I already run Nekrataal, Braids and Desecration Demon though, and I have only so many spots. If I were to increase my cube size this card is definitely on the short list.

Well, maybe I will, if I can get that thing I linked to to work and actually produce some high quality proxies that don't tilt me whenever I see them. So far pulling of the foil layer of a card has been addictive, so much possibilities! I'm thinking of adding custom fast lands with basic types...

How so? Obviously both effects are a known quantity, and others have thought of spellfetches, but I haven't seen this combination before. It looks pretty innocuous, because tutoring, while powerful, at the cost of a land seems a real cost and you don't actually get the spell effect you want...

Would marrying half fetches to the Mirage tutors be a mistake? I kinda like the tension between "fixing" your mana (provided you drafted the right duals) and searching a trump card. Enlightened Village Land T, pay 1 life, sac: Search your library for a plains and put it on the battlefield, and...

I am considering adding a utility land draft to my cube, since I found I had to cut all the cool utility lands from my 360 cube in order to make room for other cards. This will only get worse I predict once Conspiracy rolls around, those draft matters cards look really sweet. The consensus...

I would OCD over bad fakes to no end. If I had high quality proxies at my disposal I would consider adding them for sure. If money wasn't a constraint I would have added Abu duals and fetches right away after all.

But, but, inevitability! Hrmph... I suppose you're right. Curses green 6-drop! Foiled again by a green 5-drop! :)

Holy crap! This looks kinda awesome!

IT'S HUGE!!! It's also an interesting green six-drop! Would you look at that! :)

I tried that and they are :( The thickness of a sleeved card with a printed out proxy is off to a point where you can tell the difference and that just won't do. If I found a solution to that maybe I would reconsider. Hmmm... Maybe I should try printing my proxies at a copy shop with a better...

I want players to recognize the cards they're drafting, so art is important. I don't want to use paper proxies that look shitty, so printing proxies isn't really an option. I can't spend ridiculous amounts of money on cards, so buying fetches isn't really an option, let alone duals. Without...

I had the perfect deck for Doubling Season tonight and boarded it out every time. As much as it pains me, I am going to cut it in my next update. Wolfir Silverheart was a house however, the game I followed it up with a Phyrexian Metamorph did not last long :) I think I'm going to try out Boon...

Hey, someone reacted to that part of the post! :) I love the hydra in EDH personally, but I think it's pretty much unbeatable in a 1 on 1 two-player game, unless you kill it right there and then. It kills in less turn than the Titans, but costs a mana less instead of more. The synergy with...

Phyrexian Tower is on my wish list :) I run Urborg in my cube at the moment.

That would require 14 W and 9 R lands for turn 2 (or 6/17 duals) or 13 W and 8 R for turn 3 (4/17 duals). CC cards are really hard to cast on curve in limited! You need 16 black sources to run out Geralf's Messenger on turn 3 by the way. 16!

It's in my cube binder, but making room is so hard at 360. It is, however, an awesome card.

See my edit. In it, Karsten lists the number of mana sources of a certain color you need to be able to cast cards with 1, 2 or 3 matching mana symbols on curve with a 90% probability. You can figure out the correct numbers from there. For example, in a 40 card two-color aggro deck with 16 land...

It's so hard to tell those apart though. Even MtG veterans can still misbuild their manabases. There's only a select few (Frank Karsten comes to mind) who really know how to build a perfect manabase and what percentage of games you are still going to lose despite that. Edit: Here's an excellent...

Does anyone run Brimaz in his cube? Is it fun to play with? It's so obviously and intentionally pushed that I shied away from it so far, so I have no experience with the card whatsoever.
