This card kicks fucking ass.

One immediate thing that strikes me is that a singleton format could utilize cards outside it's set to help find functionally equivalent pieces, if the original card pool ends up stretched to thin. For build arounds, I think people have had success with them as singletons as long as there are...

That's actually why I made the connection for Cyclops! Honestly there might be room for both in a cube.

Erratic Cyclops vs Pyre Hound will be an interesting one in the Fight Club thread! Cyclops seems like it'd be a little more explosive and make for better stories. It also survives wildfire!! But Hound might be better in a game that goes long? So they want different decks, probably. Edit...

No mentioned this card but, isn't it super sweet? An easy to cast (no double U) counterspell that fits aggro control? Counter some removal, keep pressure on?

It isn't castable from the grave, but it really does look like a super fun card in a spider spawning deck! Edit: also what's up with Bolas being the bad guy in almost every set nowadays? Feels like a saturday morning cartoon!

Oh shit yeah! It actually serves as blue removal in a pinch.

Oh shit it was Isperia? I thought it was just some random Azorius sphinx.

Accord seems good in a control deck if there's incidental life gain on a lot of cards that deck wants.

The Izzet-island certainly looks like a good contender for a Steam Vents!

Against most flying tokens yeah and also I like the aesthetics of the same p/t! One toughness really sucks against like, lingering souls, and two toughness becomes 3 toughness after one instant/sorcery which lets it survive a lot more than the 2 toughness wondscout gets after its trigger.

Wind mage! If only because it's a wind drake.

Valkyrie has real sweet art to boot

I agree! I honestly don't have a clue what "CBS" is supposed to be. "Cube Bull Shit"?

The 3 toughness might be what makes it bearable

Liliana's Reaver Maybe on the more obnoxious end?

They also pair well with red discard effects such as faithless looting and devastating dreams for the RG control decks.

There's also a good chance you can just run both the wurm and the hydra!

That's fine! I just have found myself to be a bit hand-wavey, so that's why I mentioned it. These days I even like to go as far as try to write up what an actual 40-card deck with a theme would look like. It's much harder to argue against something very concrete.

Do you really need to play aristocrats specifically to want a 5/5 hasty dragon???
