Hm, I think I'll try the vedalken mastermind. Not tempoing poor opponents and being easier to answer could be the difference I want. Thanks guys!

Everything seems so pushed in Ikoria: Lair of Powercreep. It speaks volumes that the cards that interest me the most currently are 3 commons from the last day drop. I've never had soo many "that's too pushed/efficient for my cube"-moments going trough a full spoiler. Neither mode is good...

While I agree, that bouncing demonic pact is a huge bonus point, I'm actually not sure about the instant speed. It's one of the things that makes crystal shard a tad too annoxing and a reason why I consider replacing it. But on the other hand, he's easier to kill as a creature with 2 toughness...

I'm trying to support monocolor decks (alongside two- and threecolored ones), so I'd stay away from a mana base, that reduces the opportunity cost of taking fixing to almost nothing.

I am loking for a more fair Crystal Shard in blue. Which one can you recommend? Portal of Sanctuary Vedalken Mastermind

Shouldn't the full spoiler be up today?

Just wanted to call back, this gem has been suuuper good for us in just 3 tests. So easy to get a 2 for 1 out of it, and there are nice tricks with first strike on deathtouch or lifelink. It's soo gonna stay.

This is actually the first card I could actually see myself freeing a slot for. I mean, it is not even limited to once a turn, so it could be good right? I mean in a ramp deck, you could threaten tons of trample damage, and in an aggro deck, would he be that much worse than, let's say, a Jungle...

My pal has her in his cube with great succes, as shes pretty strong on her own. His themes are just GW Enchantments and GU Proliferate though.

I have two questions regarding this crazy card: Gift of Doom 1) Do you think it is good? (I support sacrifice and morphs/combat tricks are relevant) 2) Would you count it as black or colorless?

Welcome onboard! May I ask what you're other 3 cubes look like and why you are crazy enough to make 4? :P I'm already really busy with my 2! PS Mother of Runes is not modern legal!

Damn power creep has never been realer than in Ikoria. A splashable 3/3 for 3 with a huuuge upside? I'd cube it maybe as a 3/1 or at 1WW.

Oh, I thought Velrun, but appears he's from our northern neighbours country :)

Wow, that would be already 3 germans in this forum. Also, that Octopus is half a ninja, it just doesn't tell you. Sucks though, that they had to add that stupid non-human clause.

Well thaaat is interesting, especually if you don't have to sac it. Goes right into the Drake Haven/Improbable Alliance decks!

I'm a bit sad how many cards already got strictly outclassed in this spoiler season: Naturalize Break Asunder Scrap Shatter Explosive Vegetation Coastal Piracy And while those are all spells, the creatures shout "power creep" even louder at me.

So when the creature I want to mutate on dies, you get mutate creature still. How does this work with sacrificing in response,since a lot of those seem to be cheaper as mutate than hardcast?

Thinking a bit about this, I'm not really a fan though. It took me, a player of 15 years, quite a moment to wrap my head around it, how am I ten supposed to teach this ability to newbies? Looks as confusing as banding pretty much. I like cycling and keyword counters, but I don't think the rest...

Yeah, all mutate cards at all rarities will get a comic style version. Maybe that mechanic will bring something for my cube.

Has anyone tested this guy? He looks sweet! Gingerbrute
