    Some Ideas I've been bouncing around: Mother of Runes can be miserable to play against. Maybe this is a good way to keep the spirit of the card in an enviornment? I think this is what I wanted Horribly Awry to be, assuming I can't just sharpie out "Noncreature" (which would be insane)...

    The Riptidening—Building my Cube from scratch

    The art of the Synergy Based White Bear with synergy upside is a necessary one I think. If Pridemate is as good as Porcelain Legionnaire, he's not going to wheel for the synergy deck, he'll just be played in every white deck, which leads to that deck suffering. Pridemate specifically I don't...

    Reprogrammed corpse doesn't really scare me unless there's easy ways to give stuff haste.

    Yeah the more rally focused decks add Nantuko Husk or Mogis's Marauder for a lethal attack

    Battlefield Archeologist: Vigilence is unnecessary. How many equipment are you returning? :P Given the mill 2-3, but not one per turn. Blinksword: have it either flicker at end of combat or trigger on damage to players. Momentary Blink costs 2 sir Runic Student is good but I'd still play Single...

    There's a few problems with that approach. Three mana is a lot for a combat trick, especially one that doesn't work on smaller creatures. Spidery Grasp lets your creatures trade up, this doesn't. Barring bizzare limited formats like scars of mirrordin where everything had 1 toughness, typically...

    That's fine, it still has the same problems both those cards do, and the same problem tanglesap does: they're horrible unless you're winning Also, small note: Why are these in the same set? o.O

    Any opinions on half a blood artist? It's worse, but most of us have been cautious about adding a second. Might this be a good middle ground?

    With imprint typically it wrecks the card. Chrome Mox doesn't tap for mana anymore, soul foundry can't make any more dudes, duplicant becomes a 2/4, etc Though mimic vat kinda just chills out.

    Those decks? Yes In standard? You generate lots of value off returning small ETB guys, and maybe swing for a ton with nantuko husk

    I'm not sure entirely how related this is, but I've been looking at the Aristocrats standard deck during Innistrad/RTR, and it has a lot of similar elements: Creatures (23) 4 Blood Artist 4 Boros Reckoner 4 Cartel Aristocrat 4 Doomed Traveler 4 Falkenrath Aristocrat 3 Skirsdag High Priest...

    Do we care about a 6 drop that says your opponent can't play lands?

    I like geists. 4 drops are overpopulated, but the solution isn't to make them cost more so it makes your curve look more even
