    I heard about this! Nobody was buying force of will at the pro tour leading up to the set apparently

    The non-jund ones are surprisingly cheap. SCG has seachrome coast at 7 (Out of stock, natch :P)

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Pump is worthless [/Exaggeration] :p Giant Growth has typically been on the edge in lower power environment obliquely trying to support it, with things like heroic or double strike, neither of which are archetypes in my cube. It's been a long struggle to get combat tricks to be worth playing...

    oh boo. I mean I was slightly excited for a dual land reprint, but I knew that at least.

    I don't know if I want LED to be mythic for a better draft envoirnment, or common so people can actually play legacy

    I've actually tried a downsideless savage punch, but the problem is that fight cards have the same problems that Auras do: you need a dude, and any removal becomes a counterspell. This is assuming you have a big enough creature :P I love what they've been doing with fight cards (Unnatural...

    Honestly I wonder how powerful Reflector Mage's ability at U1 would be

    oh they're totally fair analogues, but they just aren't as powerful as their compatriots :P Like rate Lightning Strike, 0-5 stars, then look at disperse. They might be similar slots in the color's identity, but they aren't equal, that's for sure. We had a similar problem a while back with prey...

    Oh yeah. I always feel like an individual color's version of X should have its own draws, like red can hit players, white detains as well, so it works on larger targets, black works on creatures of all sizes, etc Incinerate Doom Blade Mana Leak Mana leak isn't a great analogue, but it does...

    How about this? Vendetta is a strong card as well, very similar to dismember, and I think 2CC is a good place to start for green's first foray into interaction. This pitches to force, and has some upside to make up for the fact that incinerate now deals damage to you as well

    *Shrug* Dual lands are rare, but they have actively good effects at lower rarity. Money Talks

    Why though? Madness is cool and all, but making brainstorm good for one deck and really mediocre for others seems like a step down (See the evaluation of Oath of Jace as to why 3cc brainstorm is not a good draw spell)

    It's definitely more proof of concept at this point. Fiery War Axe is one of the better cards in hearthstone, so unaltered there's no way it's getting into magic. One charge weapons are probably more the way to go, but they should probably just be instants A la Bootman's suggustion. Now, the...

    Hey, if they're doing this right, it won't be modern border :P

    I love that the reaction to topplegeist on MTGS was "I'll just play citidel siege if I wanted this kind of effect"

    Compelling Deterrence is the kind of tribal I like!

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Not the first time I've borrowed actual magic art: Knight watch Sometimes I could look around for something that fits the mood like this one does, or I could use the artwork I have in front of me which is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't like doing it, but it's REALLY hard to find something...

    I'd be down for this. I'll critique the hell out of my own card, IDGAF

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Alright one more and I really ought to get to sleep (4am we meet again) Also I stand by the stupid wording. No you may not kill draco with this

    Also a possibility: Iron War Axe from hearthstone (My apologies for my horrible mangling of the weapon mechanic, magic doesn't really have the means to an easy analogue. Also this card is basically the hearthstone equivilent of Swords to Plowshares, removal power level wise, and may need some...
