Build your own Ad Nauseum: Bloodghast Skullclamp Fastbond

Concretely speaking, I believe Sejiri Merfolk would see more play than Knight of Meadowgrain in my cube. Those conditions may not hold elsewhere.

Another utility land update. Kabira out, refuges in.

There's an MTG / Starcraft photoshop mashup waiting to happen.

Uh, I don't know how deep you want to go, but this guy was pretty cool in my Burning-Tree / Spawn token cube: Myr Superion

Also, when I was looking at Clerics to sacrifice, half the ones in my cube were things you really didn't want to sacrifice. Geist of Saint Traft Mikaeus, the Unhallowed

If I made a custom cube I would totally Cleric the fuck out of it. Mainly because "cleric" is such a cool word and totally novel.

I think multicolor decks are already super playable without overloading on lifegain, and Bob decks usually don't kill themselves, but Lifegain Library could be a real thing, I think.

"Any white deck can cast it" is technically true, but also a huge misnomer... uh, well, there are lots of decks (say, WGu) that would be far more interested in a 1U spell than a WW spell. Not to mention this thing is totally sweet. Play it on T2 with no Plains. T3, play a fetchland pre-combat...

I think you need to calm down there sailor, because you're pretty blatantly wrong. Grossly so. Let's take a simplifying assumption and say we have a two-color deck with an equal number of basics of each color. Further assume that we only have two lands in hand. Our land drops can be modelled as...

The question is what to cut for it. Surely it's an UW card... bump that section up to four cards?

There are times in my cube when Earthcraft would have no targets...

There used to be a 3-0 GW deck in my cube... Zuran Orb Wasteland Fastbond Land Tax Balance Armageddon Mox Diamond Crucible of Worlds Life from the Loam Steppe Lynx Knight of the Reliquary Flagstones of Trokair It's a pretty crazy archetype that I never wrote about, with tons of interactions...

Does Horizon Chimera trigger three separate times off of Brainstorm?

I don't really buy a new front being needed for the rare "packaging errors" that machine readability can prevent. Is there any other advantage? Like, a physical card authenticator where you can "check-in" your Standard deck and be able to play with it online... one can dream.

Is the flavor text trying to relieve WOTC of culpability for such a poorly designed card?

Wall of Fire For comparison.

Steel Hellkite Steel Hellkite is pretty cool design, I think it's perhaps a bit below the power level of a, say, Grave Titan / Wurmcoil Engine cube, but I'd love to play a cube where this was one of the premier finishers. It's also a fine Tinker target in a theoretical Hannes cube.

Maybe it's the Goat Tribal thing, but I feel like RiptideLab should make a fake Born of the Gods preview card and article.

Congrats to our winners, CML and Laz! I ordered the gift certificates this morning, and they should arrive in your RipLab inboxes shortly. Apologies for the delay.
