    Black one just got way worse because I can read :( Its > power, not >= power, so random 2/1 dorks can block him. This in my eyes basically gets rid of this card having evasion :(

    As captain of the stratus dancer hype train, I feel I should weigh in on den protector He's...different. Unlike blue mistral charger, wandering wolf is not a base body I'm excited about, so megamorph will have to be part of the selling point for this card. However, as a 5 drop he's not bad...

    I've seen a similar series back in the day that had every top 2 at worlds facing off. You know what randomly beats Onslaught/Mirrordin goblins (IE Goblin Piledriver + Chrome Mox)? the deck that lost to prosbloom. Nekrataal Hype

    Have you seen it on MTGS posted by someone named [TJS]Dandy_Lions? :P Because I've seen you there!

    This one will look much better in foil IMO

    I love that I'm like "I like the direction this card is implying, start early" and FSR is like "Warriors are inconsistent and spread out, I don't like the direction this card is implying" :P

    I do think it's better in the dark then telling time, but I'm not sure weather it's better enough than slight of hand/serum visions/gitaxian probe :P

    Interesting! I wonder if almost-Imulse is good enough for modern. My gut tells me yes, but 2cc is not inconsequential. Arashin Formost actually looks super cool. I think Fabled Hero probably sends a message I don't like, since when I did run double strike I wanted the decks to start earlier...

    Even then though, fun is a notoriously hard thing to quantify. And that's kinda what I want to do with my cube: Have Fun with that goal in mind I'm not sure perfection is a reasonable goal, nor a helpful one, given the differences in what people love about magic and such

    I'm all for green being able to hop on the recurisve threat train gravecrawler is driving. I think someone a while back on MTGS proposed a GG1 3/3 that you can cast from your graveyard unconditionally. Probably too strong, but I can see green being able to do that with bigger creatures. I...

    I see what you mean. I think the different between that attitude and the one I was thinking of is you aren't scared to go make changes because it might make the cube "worse" I get a bad feeling in my gut when non-games happen too, but I'm not unwilling to try new white 4 drops or whatever for...

    I'm really liking the idea of Ojutai Exemplars. As for controlling creatures at cheaper than 5, restoration angel is about as close as we get, and that's mostly just because it's really strong. Tapping down attackers, gaining life, and dodging removal whenever you slam a new walker or brainstorm...

    So do the words "Whenever a creature you control fights" but you don't see me complaining :p I'm more concerned with the merits of the extra mana giving flying + smaller initial damage trigger, but the 7 eventual toughness rather than 5 and mild +1/+1 counter synergy FWIW: I've got 0 other...

    I thought it might be interesting (Though probably fruitless) to have a splicer where the goal was to get rid of the non-golem half of the card asap I think my origional idea was a U1 0/1 can't block "Phantasmal Splicer"

    Man, people seem waaaaaay too concerned with having the "perfect" cube

    Actually on reflection I think this is less fuss and more "This is interesting, how do you guys feel?" (I'd edit my post but lazy) Isaumaru had this problem as well in standard at the time (And at that point both copies died when you played a second, so technically zurgo here can gain...

    The one that always gets me is that "Breaking singleton means you don't go digging on gatherer, looking for hidden gems" I've been looking mate! I looked through literally 100% of blue cards, and I found their 2 drops lacking.
