    ?? Bottled Cloister Any words on this card? Ran the end-of-the-month tournament on the 30th and the winner ripped open his binder and slammed it down in front of me. The art seemed familiar but I just couldn't remember the card itself so it's new to me.

    Game-Trail changeling is a weird pet card of mine... when I first started playing magic (ROE, so not long ago) the first cube I was dunked into was basically Lorwyn block with some other stuff. Being a noobie doobie (or whatever it is people say these days) I drafted 3 of the 'tribal' equipment...

    All I'm saying is both these options kinda suck. If you wouldn't play either mode by their lonesome ever why would you play a combined card? Every charm I run would be near things with at least two of its modes as standalone cards, just 'not quite there' (or ARE cards, in some cases) so being...

    Completely depends on your removal suite; I don't run pyroclasms or infests, and a lot of decks people make just don't want to run wraths, so PRat would be miserable to play against. I also dislike how packing rats almost always chumps other plays- reminds me of mirror entity. "I wonder what...

    As long as the pool of on-color rares remains in the "useful" area. Every color gets rares that would really stink in sealed; I'd be mad to open generic red rare "lolrandom everything" or obscenely overcosted bad effect guy. I'd like 6 normal boosters + smaller pack of all chosen-color cards...

    That was on my watch list, but even as a two-for-one I don't think I want mind twist in my cube. It was already banned in the local peasant cube (Immolating souleater was the last straw) I would like to share that sheep are used for scale in multiple cards in JOU: I also really wish this...

    My prerelease was as always. Opened so few creatures (counting token-spells as creatures) that the most I could have in a two-color deck (disregarding curve, playability etc.) was 14 in green/white. Drew like a complete lucksack (almost perfectly) in my first round, but got buried under...

    I know it's not exactly insightful or anything but I just watched a few cube games with these and other unreleased cards... a bant midrange deck just want Hierarch Blade splicer Breigo Venser (PW), unblockable team, breigo flickers splicer and venser, venser flickers splicer, pass. While...

    Here's a mockup and the other cards so far: Breigo and Galepowder don't quite do the same things though... galepowder also murders your opponent's tokens, gives something wrath-proofness, and keeps a blocker out of the way; Breigo is pretty much strictly ETB refreshes that also gives your...

    Don't worry, you've got an ally here. Already axed quite a lot of PWs from my list, including ral, so reading this guy quickly punted him from potential inclusion. The only thing I can say about him that I think people are off about is that his ult isn't all that bad. Sure, blue's stuff is...

    I ran it for a bit while I was running through random removal, it got played relatively well because it deals with pretty much all of the "kill this or you die" creatures (except hero of bladehold off the top of my head) while being unable to kill slower but still threatening cards. It was fair...

    Iroas doesn't have to attack like pyreheart wolf/comes down a turn later than goblin war drums, and protects your team instead of killing your opponent like hellrider or any other 4!! Keranos is 1 CMC cheaper than staff of nin, and has wacky random hijinks instead of consistency! I actually...

    The ball is like... more fair and less time-consuming divining top. Scry 2 every turn feels like cheating when you double-bottom twice in a row or something.

    Looks sweet for the +1/+1 counter sect. Iwamori of the Open fist This guy is cute but I think Iwamori is just better. Big winged coatl that turns into a dragon? Ok. Interesting (and probably worse) alternative to spellbound dragon. Worse banshee's blade? I actually like this. Sword of...

    My opinion on this is that it's kind of interesting but a slippery slope of 'where does it end?' I've played cubes with a printed list of extra-copy cards because there were so many. It was more than a little frustrating. The only time I've seen it 'underdone' was the copy of explore having "2...

    Strong heroic trigger. I like the spider a lot. I prefer the new-wording on o-ring (and friends) because it makes playing instant-speed removal actually matter. Lets you keep auras, +1/+1 counters, and loyalty counters. Thaumaturge has a few cards that are cute with it: Curse of the...

    General "Sacred Cow" or "Cube Staple"

    Making a switch from instant to sorcery speed removal is actually kind of interesting; a lot of decks don't even have something else they can do with their untapped mana so instant speed removal just takes a dump on auras and the like more than anything. I don't hate games where players largely...
