    I don't think it even needs to be creature-light/creatureless control. Just any deck that wants to play a lot of lands, can afford a colorless land, and wants ways to mitigate flood.

    Merely $2340.87. Birthing Pod ban in Modern and cutting Serum Visions 'cuz it sucks really hurt the value of my cube #mtgfinance Also a reminder to further reduce the monetary value of my cube while increasing complexity by using Chinese language printings where possible.

    You can make the flyer at instant speed. I would happily play it if my deck wanted 18 (or more!) lands and could handle drawing a colorless land, and at least it is an untapped land. Turning lands into action is really powerful. That said there are plenty of better spell-like lands.

    re: Genesis Hydra Being an X-spell certainly encourages a play pattern of just sitting until you have MAXIMUM MANA but it isn't really necessary. Given that you have kept the overall curve of your cube/deck low, X=3-4 often yields some good hits. I like that it's a green card that plays well...

    Genesis Hydra is a similar effect (vanilla body + upside from deck) that can be cast for less and scales better with more mana.

    The effect is pretty much Green Sun's Zenith for X=3, so 4 mana. So it's a 2 mana 6/5!!!!! Anyways the card could stand to have a keyword but it's probably good. 6 mana for 8+ power and possible beneficial effects can't be that bad.

    Tapping permanents is way stronger than tapping just creatures. Flying is also better than +1 power. It's still playable but I don't think it's great. Not like RUG twin maxes out on combo pieces to begin with :<

    General MM2 is amazing, says man who hasn't played with it

    Random soulshift guys get better with each copy of Nameless Inversion in your deck. but yeah mma2 doesn't seem like a great long-term drsft environment

    General 5colour/Domain

    If you aggressively rotate cards in and out of your cube between draft meetups, Worldknit is a fine 5 color enabler to have some of the time. It's just kinda annoying when it shows up all of the time.

    Serra Avenger is fine. Relatively big flyer for cheap, lets the white aggro deck start playing 2 cards per turn without the cards all sucking. Also one of our local guys started off 4-0 at one of the last actual PTQs with Modern UW "birds," but his strongest draws all involved t0 Leyline of...

    Elspeth, Knight-Errant is difficult to deal with through the combat step and leads to extremely repetitive play experiences. There aren't really any interesting decisions to make while playing her, and she isn't particularly rewarding to play either (the big payoff is... making another 1/1 each...
