Even though Mindcensor doesn't "turn off" searching, the fact that you can flash it in response to a tutor when it is likely crucial for your opponent to get a certain card; especially in disruptive weenies vs. Other where a silver bullet is likely employed to handle small creature decks. With...

Wow, upon checking my cube I found that a THIRD of it contains activated abilities. Time to test Stifle and Bind.

A lower powered alternative to Goldmane meadowboon

While we're at it shadow of doubt Aven mindcensor

This is a good example of what I used to love about old magic art. cathedral of serra Sucks that it was commissioned for such a terrible card.

Some land-related news on Battle for Zendikar.

I'd choose Steadfast as well. How about narset transcendent vs. venser, the sojourner

It's pretty funny in UG with Whisperwood Elemental. You can have counterspells and bounce spells in manifest mode, waiting.

What are people's ULD's looking like at this point?

On the other hand, I've been running Palladium Myr and it feels very fair.

oh man Storm Crow was printed 9 times Edit: though I'm definitely more in the self-mill camp, I want to point out my favorite mill card from the last few years: undercity informer

Haven't tested him at all, but he seems rather boring.

lol @ Sphinx's Tutelage + Sylvan Library

Huh. I've never noticed before that every aspect of Grave Titan is exactly twice as large as Skeletal Vampire.

It's worth noting that some of these differences of experiences likely come from our cubes being different. For example, I noticed in your cube, Eric, that your control tools aren't quite as aggressively powered as they are in mine, so it makes sense that your control finishers would be a bit...

I did just cut wolfy recently, but mainly for being boring rather than too powerful. Sometimes he eats an instant speed removal spell, but often he would at least get to offer +4/+4 to another attacking creature before getting killed during my opponent's main phase. I have to agree with...

I mean, Animate Dead seems like a fine control card if that's what you mean. Following up a Damnation with a Kokusho ought to be reasonably strong, right? Even without a sac outlet. It's certainly not as efficient as Massacre Wurm most of the time but it still is a solid late game threat/blocker.

I didn't realize that Kokusho was seen as so low-powered. I run him in my cube and he seems fine to me. He's maybe a little under the average but he gets the job done for a lot of decks. I think he compares similarly to Sphinx of Jwar Isle in my cube. Both are 5/5 flyers for 6 that often serve...

That card is pretty interesting, actually. I wish there were more ways to recur it a la Executioner's Capsule & Academy Ruins. I think my initial plan may be to do what ahadabans suggests. Introduce a few basic and broad enchantment incentives, and up the enchantment count a bit. I may also...
