The Invasion saclands were great for combo. Balancing Tings was such a wonderful deck, and I had a lot of fun and success in Gavin Verhey's Overextended experiment with this: Ones 4 Preordain 4 Ponder Twos 4 Fire // Ice 4 Remand 3 Condescend 2 Repeal 1 Into the Roil Threes 1 Ethereal...

1WWW is harsh but if you can get past that...

What is this good at blocking in Modern? The delve creatures are larger, so is Tarmogoyf. I guess it can sometimes block random small things from the Company decks?

FSR bat signal:

in that deck this card does nothing that Jace's Erasure didn't do

Devoted Druid is great; turning Vines of Vastwood into Dark Ritual is always a good time

Mirari's WakeCaged Sun Who still runs Wake, and how do you feel about it? I love the card, but as Cube becomes more ruthless and less forgiving you can rarely take a turn off to do something that doesn't affect the board. Does that change if the effect is moved to colour combinations with more...

Insofar as the Twin combo with Pestermite/Exarch is interesting in Constructed, it's because there's enough instant-speed interaction to make it a fun dance. I'm sceptical that you can reach that threshold in Cube, and even if you can it disproportionately weakens colours like green that don't...

Temur Sabertooth lots of wacky stuff you can do with this but there are tons of good 4s

drafting MM1 tomorrow, so we'll find out

Do you have examples in mind of combo decks you find interesting (beyond the bounceland-based ones, which I really like)?

I love it! It's also a Human, a 2-power creature for Recruiter/Alesha/Reveillark, and an excellent Blink target. Don't underestimate the flying either, if Spectral Procession and Lingering Souls taught us anything it's that dividable and evasive damage is really good.

I've always wanted Draining Whelk and the other creature + counterspell cards to be good, and I have fond memories of Whelk slicing apart midrange decks in Block/Standard. There are so many hijinks you can pull when blink and instant-speed reanimation turn into counters. In that vein, even if...

This discussion was a fun read; I often want to pretend I'm back in 2009, but the sheer power of creatures/planeswalkers nowadays proves too addictive.

Any thoughts on how to support a coherent 5c theme? Usually when a 5c deck works it's because someone scooped up all the fixing early and then just took the best card in every pack, which works less often than you'd think. Is it possible to have a distinct '5 colour deck', and do you have to...

Orcish Lumberjack GRBS, terrible, or somehow something in between?

even if Jace were 'just' a Snapcaster Mage; have you played Snapcaster before?! Granted this effect is a lot worse because you can't hit countermagic and the like, but even just playing a Wrath with the threat of flashing it back next turn is great I do hate Chandra though, what a boring card
