High level question: do you guys like playing with / against the Rebel searcher cards? I remember my Modern Masters games against BW Rebels just feeling like big removal checks. Either I could keep them off the searcher, or they slowly ground out enough value by getting dude after dude each...

I forgot (or, more likely never knew) this card exists. Pretty cool. Seems EldrDomain usable.

Yeah, the idea is cute, and I won't argue against it, but, I personally won't use it. Rules baggage and all. I already use up enough complication on things like Utility Land Draft.

Can mana burn be redirected to a PW?

My Fair Lady / Pygmalion

Yeah, there are a few defaults possible. DJ Blanton going to rock a turntable avatar?

Maybe Flanking sans reminder text shouldn't be printed at common.

Wait, so let me get this right. Bogardan Lancer is a conditional this guy? And don't give me any of this proliferate bullshit.

Ugh, links.

Executioner's Capsule Darksteel Citadel Fetching up a Citadel and turning it into a 5/5 with Tezzy feels like a "game plan".

Play vs. draw matters less and less as the power level decreases, no?

Is anybody going to link to the Flanking guys or are we just supposed to already know about these cards nobody cares about?

I'm convinced that most cubers saw Spikeshot Elder do something useful once and then keep him in for years out of a sense of obligation. I guess he was a little better in SOM draft...

rtfc?

I don't know if there necessarily is a difference, I just am saying that I don't think anywhere near the magnitude of thought power has been put towards "how to design control" as "how to design aggro".

Innistrad did indeed have a lot of this going on. It also had an intentional mix of open-ended and linear strategies (e.g. some decks just wanted to buy time with stuff like Silent Departure and figure out the late game later). I think one area where cube design could improve is in thinking...

I don't think the curves need to be identical (or all that similar) to get the benefits of what you are proposing. I've been a proponent of having attacking decks and controlling decks be possible in all colors. For what it's worth, back when Eric and I were studying retail limited...

I can't imagine not running Bolt. 4 Edge seems fine.

Convince me this card's not hot garbage. :)
