    Not the actual sixth land, the fact that it takes 6 total mana (something that won't happen as easily as 5) to play and equip to a bear. Since a lot of 2 drops in cube have 3 power, this is doing it's best Lava Axe impersonation. All these modes are marginal, but considering it's all attached to...

    Yup, but it's great at giving something haste and 2 power, which is way more relavant. If you have greaves and topdeck isaumaru, their horned turtle bricks you. With this, you have an actual threat. Also after a bit of mental playtesting, 4 is almost certainly the perfect equip cost. 3 would be...

    Yup (Sadly) when I re-hauled the mana rocks in my cube a bunch of my saved wildfire decklists got shaved to 36-39 cards. It's a storage thing IIRC

    I wonder if I just copy paste Obzedat's ability and just call it a day :p I'm actually not playing any of the 4 chandras in my cube at the moment, so I doubt it'll be broken :p OH MAN I SO WANT TO DO THAT WITH KOTH THOUGH. I mean, my opponent will probably just concede, but still :p Wait, it...

    You know what I'll bet is happening? It removes cards from old draft decks if they get removed from the cube. IIRC, you purge your whole list before every upload, ya?

    Of course I'm stealing your tech man, it's sweet tech! :D (Also I've been looking for less mediocre colorless beaters for a while now. Juggernaut just got the axe in my cube) *Shrug* It could, but 99% of the time these two will play out the exact same. It hadn't proven to be too bad. before it...

    My favorite fix: Landfall - Comes back. It's a nice balance between rancor and moldervine cloak, and kinda goes on everything. Cept' control magic

    That's good to hear. It's something my local judge brought up in a cube game, so it was prefaced with "Make sure you don't do this in a tournament game". Good to know though.

    Ive seen it here and there, and it's nice that it mostly solves the removal problem. Still horrible against bounce, but what can you do :P

    Also CML, I'm sure you love the indented forums, but after a few posts everyone is 200 pixels wide. That sucks. That's why we stopped :P

    I love that I've made red walkers with both halves of her +1, and they just went "Ah fuck it. Why can't she do both?" Path of bravery is an interesting one. I long for the days of a splashable anthemn actually being printed, but I think this one's a bust, since you need to be winning. the...

    Matt's Cube (720, unpowered, usually used for multiplayer formats)

    That might be a losing battle Matt, only so many cards exist, and people still struggle with this problem at 360, and no multiplayer to boot! I can't remember who it is, but someone had the brilliant idea to just treat walkers as creatures additionally: They die to wrath and doom blade, but...

    So those are all WWK style manlands?Holy shit the simic one is insane! Basically any land that says "Draw a card" on it needs to cost a lot because it's so free. Golgari one is okay, Orzhov one is okay, boros one is probably balanced in that it needs some support, and the Izzet one is straight...

    The lack of a rules engine should actually be a benefit, I think. It's the worst thing when you accidentally click through a timing window for countering a spell, or those other feelbad moments. Eg: Player A: "Block, Regen my Drudge Skeletons" Nearby Judge: "So you're done declaring blockers...
