    Vanish does seem a bit overly complex for a card that's supposed to do something really simple: slide something out and make you loot a bunch. But then again, as it's worded you can kill Roar of the Wurm Tokens and draw 6 cards with no downside. (This happened to me) Is there a standard format...

    Absolutly nothing. That's why people hate it :P Nothing but the social contract keeps people from just bringing vintage combo decks to the table each week, and I've delibratly had to power decks down to keep games fun. EG: my General, because I never got to play with Bloodbraid elf...

    Wait, is strognhold in your utility land draft? Is it worth having a more narrow stronghold?

    RE: Fixing, anywhere between 10-15% of the total cube should work. Signets don't count as much since aggro decks wont play them, but don't forget non-dual land fixing: City of Brass / Evolving Wilds / Gemstone Mine etc

    (Quoted relevant chunks) Basically the opposing argument to this entire rant is "It's EDH, nobody cares." I kinda care, but the format has been known to play the worst horrible cards wizards produces anyway, why do they need special attention cards which make the format worse? Primal Surge...

    Yeah that's basically my idea too. Can you imagine if Ruric Thar was like a :1::r::g: 3/4? (and dealt 3 damage, obv)

    Yeah it's called Liliana of the veil :p Though he's pretty sweet in his current iteration. I think brad nelson nailed it in their set review: "We had all these control decks eeking out incremental advantages and fighting over huge sphinx's revalations, now it's just like WHAM, Sire, now we're...

    Easiest thing to find artwork for, bar none. I may have a few angel rebels for my cube if I ever take that custom card plunge :P

    Eh, sometimes you don't need that newness. I love the new art, and if it's doing good things for standard, let em have it :p Shmutrefy might have come across as "Really, another green black removal spell? Cubes have access to what, four now?" rather than "Oh man, I remember this card!" And...

    Doesn't putrefy still see standard play though? More than abrupt decay even? I'm not too up to date with the hippty hop

    Protip: once the quality of burn spells drops off, the price plummets. chain lightning is like 15$, incinerate is like 50c, and Carbonize is cheap as free :P
