woah woah woah you aren't turning that mana leak into a cruel ultimatum! In other news it's a real shame that this effect is on an inspired card...

City of brass that interacts favorably with effects that add land types or abilities? Yes please

Well these guys gave pretty good hints on what kruphix's P/T was going to look like: courser of kruphix prophet of kruphix As far as his abilities go I feel it's almost all flavor: He's supposed to be that weird-ass god that nobody hangs around with because he's always looking at the future...

I like tactics a lot. I've tried to get various fight things to work but they feel so small impact a lot of the time. The +1/+1 helps a lot of course. I feel ajani's alright. If you get his first + off twice your opponent is probably dead, and if they've had enough removal that they aren't...

akroma's blessing While the versatility of protection is the only thing making it playable (I don't see anyone playing hideous visage) I won't simply on the principle that protection is both lazy and unfun.

Mogis, Thassa, and now this guy are the only gods that do anything in an empty board. I think it's a little odd that his ability is so similar to both Thassa and purphoros. As far as cube goes I think anyone who ignores thassa can ignore this guy. He's slow and gives you increments of value-...

That IS actually really lame. Devotion is far and away the most interesting mechanic of the block. A shame we didn't get more / more interesting. Here's a pretty extreme limited bomb:

CASUAL BOUNCING Cyclonic Rift Sire of Insanity

Dolmen Gate Either a prerelease or the release promo: Heroes' Bane {3}{G}{G} Creature — Hydra, Rare Heroes' Bane enters the battlefield with 4 +1/+1 counters. {2}{G}{G}: Put {X} +1/+1 counters on Heroes' Bane, where {X} is its power. Relatively interesting alternative to chameleon colossus if...

GOIN' DEEP Primeval Bounty Mana Bloom

Cards I get the most funny looks and "really?"s over that prove themselves pretty much every time? I'll leave out a few cards normally considered 'potentially playable' or something by most, like pyreheart wolf. Normally-unrecognized cards here: Swift Justice Sorin's Vengeance Crushing Vines...

Ch-check out this sweet new mechanic guys, we promise we didn't just rename replicate (or multikicker, hurr): Constellation might be cool for you people forcing auras really hard! I also don't hate this card Had to dig a bit to confirm that this was real, but it was reddit's official spoiler...

What do you mean by flexible here, because they seem to only do two things: get sacrificed and attack. The guy who picked gladiator probably just wants to durdle, and durdle this does. I laid out my pitiful graveyard-caring cards, then dug through some random things, then resigned myself to...

My monthly 8-man rolled around and the 3-0 chose this chap as his prize pick: Undead Gladiator I had an old copy floating in my childhood shoebox of cards, so I knew OF this guy, but had never really looked at him that hard. Any experience with him? There was a general nodding of heads and...

I only cube and dabble in standard, so I don't try to evaluate for legs or modern. That being said I usually way overestimate cards instead of taking a dump on them, so I end up being somewhat ahead of the real curve for the wrong reasons (hellrider, hero of bladehold, stoneforge mystic, Olivia...

Sorcery speed was half of the awful restrictions, yo. Making them instants and removing the land count / creature count clauses makes some pretty slick cards. Oh well. Tower above's art is still hilarious.

The only thing I know about that card game is that they are a high tier of hipster token smugness allowance at my LGS. The brief time barely-esper control included midnight haunting, lingering souls, and a copy of Elesh norn, Grand Cenobite, the guy with tie fighter tokens was the swaglord. Or...

I do something like this to test if archetypes I attempt to push are even viable, and then how much you can stretch them without their best cards / best colors. Haven't done it in a long time but probably need to for recent changes... thanks for reminding me.

I think I would rather play fresh meat. I know it isn't a creature, but it does count tokens. Caller's art is roughly fifty times better, at least.
