Nah, you're right about the clone wording. It counts during resolution so he would ETB with none, which triggers evolve from experiment one. Also I think a javelin-type dude that used +1/+1 counters was discussed like a year ago or something, but I can't remember if people wanted smaller...

Oh, I didn't think we were counting things that keep cards from eventually landing in the graveyard. There's sort of a lot of that type of thing (dryad militant, anafenza, the foremost etc.) but they don't nail all the graveyard stuff that true hate deals with. Lingering souls waiting to be...

Only two things I really play besides scooz: Mardu Woe-reaper Angel of Serenity I briefly had relic of progenitus and nihil spellbomb as cheap/cantripping artifacts in a sloppy attempt to support tezz and robots, but they did poorly. Oh, bojuka bog is in my ULD because black's utility lands...

Guardian of Tazeem {3}{U}{U} Creature - Sphinx Flying Landfall - Whenever a land ETBs under your control, tap target creature an opponent controls. If that land is an Island, that creature doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step. 4/5 Well, Landfall-that-cares is neat, I guess...

Slaving titans was my favorite standard tech- I cycle it in and out of my list on whims. I'd like to see three-color cards that perfectly complements the archetype its colors all overlap in. Sadly a lot of the KTK wedge cards were very goodstuff, but there is hope yet!

I think the more apt comparison is: Sea Gate Oracle Same mana cost, same p/t, similar roles. Up-front digging vs. potential for strong attacking and true card advantage. The question is whether or not your blue decks really ever attack with their blockers- Azure Mage makes its way into...

Good lord what's wrong with Dread statuary

I don't think that's over-the-top at all for a sorcery. Sounds fun! Reminds me of a couple cards I designed for a friend's custom cube- buried alive with no limit and only for 1 and 2-cmc creatures, and a graveyard-target protean hulk trigger sorcery.

Avenger isn't great, but is a fine filler card in low-CMC lists with a lot of mana dumps. Just an efficient guy to play off-curve. I like 5-color decks, and mael angel is certainly a powerful reward. Very answer-this-or-lose, though. I've actually never seen Guardian Seraph, very different...

Never much of a candy person but I still get reminded of this thing every time

The problem I have with this line of thought is the ONLY mode that 'guarantees' winning is the 4 damage, so you're just playing with weird suspend 1fireblast that your opponent can backpedal and stall to force you to lose to. I give it the abyssal persecutor ruling that the card is super cool...

Kor Skyfisher Brago, King Eternal Venser, the Sojourner Invasive Species Synod Sanctum Tradewind Rider Vedalken Mastermind Obelisk of Undoing Okay maybe not that last one, but I think the others have some level of merit.

Colorless creature tribal after Origins already amps up the robot game? Yes, please. A "combo" mechanic that seems like it sets you up more for style points than anything else? Meh. Slapping your opponent 4-5 times to build a reasonable 'stomach' of ingested cards, making your...

I actually thought that was half the point of a cube forum, especially riptide. The majority are kinda iffy in the 'traditional' cube, but the number of weird things I've helped my local peasant cube cycle through thanks to this forum is quite high. Thopter surinam toad was actually my...

Playing both magmatic insight and tormenting voice makes you draw through your deck SO fast. This was my offering to my local area's pre-origins testing gauntlet: Spells 4 Magmatic Insight 4 Lightning Strike 4 Roast 4 Atarka's Command 4 Tormenting Voice 3 Searing Blood 2 Magma Jet 3 Anger of the...

Gideon's story article today has a new art (I think part of it was shown somewhere else) of a boros garrison building: When I read it around 45 minutes after it went up, the image had the cardname as "Boros Precinct" but obviously had a magic back linked as that card doesn't exist...

Clearly the turn 4 play for this old standard deck (which was zendikar, after all) Goblin guide Steppe Lynx Plated Geopede Adventuring Gear A million fetches etc. I SHOULD love this card based on everything else I love in this game, but I'm just not that excited. Seems perfect for the...

He's somewhere between nighthowler etc. and ophiomancer, a very well-liked card in these parts. Non-embarrassing play at pretty much any point of a game. I wish black had the self-mill power of green so it was less of a two-color deck all the time.

Chandra's ignition seems fine- powerful effect but a bit of setup required- an interesting reward for decks that go big IMO. Beetleback chief has been perfectly fine as a wide strategy, whirler rogue has some advantages over it- seems great. I'm going ham and trying all these things...

Instant and initially cheaper, while more strict requirements and far less inevitable. I could never get my players to take counterpart because half the strength of clone is being your opponents' best creatures, which I hate. I actually dislike the card because it has mirror entity syndrome...
