I've been seeing this argument as much as the +1/+1 counter one lately... :)

Wait, I am confused. How does Rally actually make these decks win? I don't see a haste generator, so they can't attack. Are they just recycling Rhino and Grey Merchant triggers as a win-con?

I think it's worth testing at least. The bigger question to me is if the retreats are playable on their own. I might just make a land cube though...

How often do you guys choose a land to discard? Also interesting, Blackmail is strictly superior when targeting yourself (for reanimation purposes, for example).

This is the worst thread title.

Flickerwisp itself would be difficult, as you need 6 mana and you're probably not holding both cards in hand that late. I like that it places deckbuilding constraints, but I would want probably 5 or so ways to activate it before I would consider putting it in my deck. That probably involves...

So you could remove the card exiled by Oblivion Ring, then bounce it and exile something else? What cards do we have that actually work with Wasteland Strangler? I'm trying to figure out if it's cubeable. Off the top of my head: Path to Exile Swords to Plowshares Oblivion Ring Deathrite Shaman...

Dumb question: can you use cards exiled by Ashiok or Oblivion Ring for this?

MODO cube is fairly battlecruisery and probably can accomodate them.

Two thoughts: 1) aren't smaller cubes better for aggro in singleton? 2) in non-singleton does size affect balance?

Eternal Witness Snapcaster Mage Are there more cool Unearth interactions?

the spell lands are nice, but we already had some spell lands. What new landfall cards are actually cube-able?

Well, Teetering Peaks offers (potentially) one more point of damage, but the new one offers so much more survivability. There will be situations when each is preferable, but I don't think it's an entirely clear-cut comparison.

Evolving Wilds

Is the black one not remotely functional as a Volrath's Stronghold impersonation? Is the red one too narrow and tempo-lossy for a red deck? It's not sooo different from Teetering Peaks, which gets play over here.

CML, reserved as ever.

Somehow I never made the connection that the activation cost on Urza's Factory is Tron mana.

Angel has resolved a lot over here. It's kind of a top-end in a removal heavy UW or Esper control deck most of the time. But ideally one that also plays stuff like Baneslayer Angel and other creatures so that when Serenity hits the board you'll have already soaked up their removal spells.

The other four look great. Play Sandstone Bridge, give Knight of the Reliquary vigilance. Attack. Sacrifice a land mid-combat to pump KOTR, grab Looming Spires to give it +1/+1 and first strike.
