True, true. Good point. I guess it depends on the environment, but in my current cube I'd likely slot it in as a pseudo green 4-drop. I guess you could also make some small changes to account for its presence. I currently run Mizzium Mortars, but I'd probably switch to Bonfire if I were...

Considering the following changes: In: Out:

Yeah, but I have to get on my soapbox here and say that not running a hybrid card because of the limitations of a "multicolor" section is the dumbest thing ever. http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cube-design-declassified-information/

Oh, jeez, I didn't realize it worked with Oona. I guess it works with Mirror Entity too then.

Speaking of ugly cards... I have a five-color and a small CMC matters theme here. Too fun to pass up?

I added this card to my Eldrazi Domain cube, which cares about multicolored permanents, ramp and X spells. But the more I think about the card the more it intrigues me for other applications. He/She/It is one of the most castable non-colorless cards ever printed, has stats that are not...

I think tokens can be interesting, but obviously things that put a lot of bodies on the board affect your aggro dynamic. I could see Intangible Virtue as a narrow archetype anchor in the right environment. I'll likely test it in my Eldrazi cube. But on the whole I think you're better off with...

Have been thinking about ways to improve big control. What are your experiences with this card in cube?

As somebody who does a bit of programming, I can tell you that these types of bugs pop up all over, and it just takes time to work out all the kinks. It could be that cards are drafted by card # within the cube list, and that's what's saved. Probably not difficult to fix, but it's also something...

I would imagine unblockable would be a pretty strong mechanic with a dearth of flying creatures. Where do you come down on animal hybrids?

I like what you've done with the CMC matters subtheme. I've got a bit of that going on in the UR section of my Eldrazi cube, and may have to steal some of these ideas. The idea of a "conversions" section is pretty neat too.

Part of the problem I have with the card is that the "lots of small bodies" deck is pretty weak when it doesn't draw the Opposition (at least over here). Not much redundancy there, at least at singleton. But again, maybe these are just my own environmental problems, as I don't currently promote...

Interesting idea, I've never designed entirely from a flavor perspective. How do you think this restriction will affect the color balance? Blue seems fairly lacking in the human department. Maybe you could borrow the flavor of something like Game of Thrones? That gives you access to Ajani...

I like this analogy a lot. I'll probably steal it for an article.

Usually you change your mind within a single post, but I guess this thought required two. :)

I for one am more partial to Zealots in PvZ. Apparently this shit worked in Diamond League: PvP deserves nothing less than the eloquence of a Phoenix opening with an Immortal transition.

Psst. I've got a cube for that.

Yeah, I want to like the card. I like the design. No, the mana cost isn't an issue, but it's probably just my configuration. I don't promote tokens, and don't have a lot of the "army in a can" cards. Maybe I'll reconfigure someday. Stuff like Deranged Hermit and Cloudgoat Ranger used to be...
