Also... Giant's Skewer This looks better at one mana. Wish the activation cost was reduced as well...

Hey, good initiative! Over half of the price is going to charity as well. I can appreciate this move. Also, glad I don't need these for my cube.

If you're running a spirit theme in BG, I'ld also consider Baleful Eidolon Gloom Surgeon Nyxborn Eidolon Soilshaper Farbog Revenant Foul Familiar Pestilent Spirit Phantom Tiger Eidolon of Blossoms Haru-Onna Infernal Kirin Keening Banshee Kemuri-Onna Morkrut Banshee Skalla Wolf Primordial Sage...

I've already held my pro-"2 toughness at < 3 cmc" speech, so needless to say I think stuff like Raving Oni-Slave And Nim Abomination are a bit much. I'll admit that the downsides are real though, so maybe they're okay?

Blade is legit, especially if you run a historic theme. It doesn't look like much, but as a 2/2 that gets to shift +1/+1 around, even if it dies, does a lot for the aggro deck. Certainly overperformed for me, though it's no Grafted Wargear. I think it's reasonably close to Bonesplitter though.

Thanks for the elaboration. I'm guessing it's not going to be a good addition for my cube then, given the low number of combo cards I run.

Did you ever use the Demonic Tutor on a stick? Was it any good?

Yeah, that's not my experience, but ymmv. I've never thought of, e.g., Mystic Snake as unfun, and neither has my playgroup. Now FTK is a completely different animal, and it's much better than any of these hedge-mages.

1. I was plugging these under the assumption of a good mana base. Why not use a shock/fetch mana base? 2. I have never seen someone be so dramatic on Disenchant. Time Walk really is the parallel you want to draw here? War Priest of Thune and Manic Vandal do exist, and are in no way overpowered...

For the record, I was just arguing from their point of view. I actually think you're not wrong in how you feel about these lands not being legendary. It seems silly from a Vorthos point of view, and their explanation of "you can have multiple mana taps in a single location" doesn't make seeing...

Sorry, not going to give you this one. That's not from a standard legal set though, and it's a clear variation of Volrath's Stronghold, which set the precedent for Hall of Heliod's Generosity being legendary. I specifically mentioned standard legal sets, because those are a far better gauge of...

Oh yeah, for sure! All of them are, really, though Liliana has the worst body and really needs the backside. Even Nissa is a narrow but perfectly playable Bordeland Ranger.

Ha! Wizards is moving into virgin card naming territory with Throne of Eldraine :)

No love for Selkie Hedge-Mage ? It's a nice crossover between Harbinger of the Tides and Healer of the Glade with a better body. Definitely not overpowered if you get both. Snakeform seems absolute gas as well. It's close to good enough for cubes at three mana, at two it's bomb removal...

Only if Jon Bois makes a video about it :)

In my new cube, I use planeswalkers as a lure into multicolor. The only monocolored planeswalkers I run are the flipwalkers (except Chandra).

There's more hybrids you haven't mentioned that I personally think are quite sweet. Azorius Mistmeadow Witch Augury Adept Silkbind Faerie Turn to Mist Repel Intruders A perfect one drop that isn't a 2/1. (Not really a pure hybrid though, obviously.) A card advantage bear that has been somewhat...

2/4 flying for 1WB is buff! :eek: I really like the Vizkopa Vampire as a 3/1 lifelink hybrid 2 cmc beater :) There's more interesting hybrids I feel, though! Cauldron Haze Debtors' Knell Gwyllion Hedge-Mage Deathbringer Liege Cauldron Haze is a good one mana trick that works really well...

I don't mind the two threads. One is for excited banter as the spoiler season unfurls, this one offers more concise info on what actually makes the final cut.

Stream of Thought This would be interesting in that cube, potentially as a 2-off or a squadron pick. It's the durdliest of cards, and fits perfectly in a mill control deck, because you also get to shuffle your answers back into your deck.
