I think this is really list-dependent to be honest. Something something planeswalker density something something how else do your control decks win? Mine use clunky but particularly resilient threats that would still eat it to counterspells.

I wouldn't play negate so countersquall is out, and dimir charm was clunky and narrow in practice. I feel like undermine's 'black effect' isn't something a ub control deck really wants anyways- absorb is fine, suffocating blast would be cool at {R}{U}{U}, but this is just not special. Soul...

Fair. DELVE MY BADDERSKULL BOOOOOOM

vs. I think Tasigur is just more interesting- Soulflayer has a high power ceiling but I'd rather delve push self-milling and not keyword-hunting.

Personally I wouldn't put war marshal alongside the other 'very good' cards. It's always been clunky- you either don't pay echo and get a half-delayed dragon fodder / krenko's command or you do and paid an extra mana for a hordeling outburst. I understand that it can be real cute and spew out...

Here is green divination. Or lair delve if you hate yourself. I think they have to draw the line somewhere to keep colors more strictly separated, and I think sudden reclamation is a fine card- regrowth is often more powerful than drawing a random card.

I really don't think 1 more damage than arc lightning / flames of the firebrand is worth {2}. I thought this was fairly cool:

Full spoiler dropped Guys with +1/+1 counter tribal! Self-mill guy? Effective reprints!

I like how this is so significantly worse than Rise of the Dark Realms power-wise with a difference of {2}. And by like I mean "what a waste of a mythic slot." Weeeeee

Summon the Ancestors Instant (I hope that was obvious) Return each creature card cmc < or = x from your graveyard to the battlefield. Exile them at the beginning of your next upkeep. Exile summon the ancestors. That's a little weird- it's completely for blocking / etb effects?

I'll stand by stroke just being better- it hits so many more types of cards than blast's potential one or two targets in any given deck- and some of them you can't be going second to counter. Check THIS guy out: When do-nothing enchantments are on bodies they're better right? (I realize it's...

I just think those cards are 'safe' while something like flamespeaker is much more powerful. As far as game plan goes it's a relatively small 'risk' to try and get value with flamespeaker, it just doesn't play out that great because without pumps it just gets stonewalled by something as simple...

It's like... almost Imperiosaur. Or something. Art's cute with Ugin in the background though. "Behold!"

Will this even get played in constructed? Isn't disdainful stroke just better? There are like ... two gold cards <4 CMC that get played. I actually think this card is pretty cool and if I had a peasant cube I would be kinda excited. To elaborate, I think it's great that they've moved away from...

This one. It dips into every other color's special place one way or the other, while other colors have extremely strict NO policies. Its tools are so mechanically flexible that it has plenty of strength/power, and getting equal ground where it is supposed to be awful as a form of balance, like...

Aren't welkin tern and vaporkin just better? Or is this some kind of next-level sarcasm I don't understand Goblin piker with a cool ability? Neat. If your opponent has hexproof or something do you just keep it? Edit: or can you just not activate it? You need a target to activate this, don't...

Do you want other colors to have no reason to exist or something? In an effort to stay on-topic, how boring is this as a rare?

Sigh.

I thought mediocre creatures was like... blue's flavor.

First wave of non-rare dragons Not very exciting for the average cube- why death triggers? I don't like this guy's activation any more than regular old azure mage. Just to give an image in-thread. I don't hate it but I'm not convinced I like it enough. As Generic said, he might as well...
