    There's two main reasons I don't like hand disruption: there's no counterplay, and it takes some of the unpredictability out of the game. At least with other disruption like counterspells you can play around them.

    Just back on Kitesail Freebooter, how much hand disruption do you run in your cubes generally? I've just had a look because reading through the discussion I realised I'd never played Mesmeric Fiend/Brain Maggot anyway, and never felt like I wanted them, and I actually only have Duress and Cabal...

    I had Legion's Landing in my prerelease pool and I liked it a lot more than I expected. It's very slow, and can be a bit difficult to flip, but if you can get it started it works on its own to give you more time to make more vampires. There were a couple of games I made 10+ vampires with it...

    The main problem I see with Overwhelming Insight is that any of the blue draw X spells (Mind Spring, Stroke of Genius, Blue Sun's Zenith, Sphinx's Revelation, Pull from Tomorrow) compete with it, and whilst they're worse at around the same mana expenditure, they're so much better at other points...

    I love the frame on the back side of this.

    Kirblinx's MTGO Adventures + Sometimes Cube

    I've been playing Palace Jailer in Death and Taxes in legacy, that card is super cool and finessing a window to land it unopposed is really interesting.

    I'm heading up this evening with my own and my newly put-together penny pincher cube. I should be around all day tomorrow and for Sunday morning, I'm not playing the main event so hopefully plenty of cube to be had.

    Local Man discovers One Weird Trick to make you skip a draw step for the low cost of {1}{2}{R}{U}!!! Opponents hate him!

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I play mass as well as the other two and it's been alright. Dodging sorcery speed removal, especially Wildfire, is pretty relevant and with Cloudposts you can pump it up pretty big.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I found Trinket Mage got way better with Hangarback Walker and Walking Ballista. Letting it get a finisher keeps it relevant through the whole game.

    Voyaging Satyr is also sweet with utility lands. Untapping Gaea's Cradle or Nykthos is a big game.

    I don't think the circumstance where you play your four drop on turn 4 and it's immediately answered for less mana and your opponent can make use of the additional mana they saved comes up all that often. On the assumption that you're playing the Ogre in a deck that's pressuring your opponent...

    General The Wishes

    The wishes can sort of work as access to a "utility everything" board, with stuff like Tendrils of Agony or Laboratory Maniac being wish targets. I don't think putting generically powerful cards in the wish board is a good idea as it makes wishes a split card of the best options at any point in...

    When I was in Amsterdam at the end of last year I had a rice table (rijstable?) at an Indonesian restaurant, I'd recommend that as well. Good if you have a lot of people, they just bring a bunch of different dishes to share.

    It's also pretty cool with effects that want a full hand of cards like Wild Mongrel, Noose Constrictor, Psychatog, Windfall, Scroll Rack, and Keffers.
