Psychogenic Probe you mean? Is that playable though? At {1} maybe! but at {2} it's a little expensive... Also, poisonous as heck.

Birthing Pod?

How does chess not stimulate the memory (it's super important at higher levels of play), and how does it not make players revise their judgments (recognizing and acting on suboptimal plays by your opponent)? Every game involving skill is defined by what you do wrong to an extend, and Magic the...

Fecundity draws the owner of a dying creature a card. While more limited in the cards per turn department, Deathreap Ritual is asymmetrical. It's also four mana though, and it has some pretty stiff competition from other Golgari cards for the few gold slots in its guild.

Well, yeah, if you are playing them against a computer they are :p

Ruric Thar, the Unbowed Run it, it's hilarious! :D

I would argue that chess is a good game without any element of luck. It's completely deterministic, but contains enough moving pieces that the human brain can't think more than a few steps ahead. Any advantage a player gets is based on either a superior capacity to think ahead (calculating the...

I'm very close to testing the waters with custom land cards. Like, who-has-a-good-laser-printer-close.

Madcap Skills may actually be my favorite card from the block for cube. Hats off to Wizards for finally printing a playable aggro-exclusive aura. It might even be better at getting damage through than Rancor.

I run 21/360 from RTR block. Cards from the block that I can't see myself cutting: Desecration Demon Gore-House Chainwalker Madcap Skills Rakdos Cackler Advent of the Wurm Lotleth troll

Awesome... Bought sheets today that were suitable for inkjet, according to the sales person. They're not, the ink immediately spreads and blurs. Guess I'll have to go to a copy shop to print at a laser printer there...

Costed like an aggro card, but not really an aggro card?

It's like a fair Upheaval, except you can't pull off any of the tricks that actually make Upheaval such a monstrous card. I would say Evacuation is at best a very expensive fog that resets a etb creature for yourself, and at worst it's a net mana loss because your creatures are likely to have a...

Except the Hydra's body doesn't actually finish games faster, because it can get chump blocked for days. It's definitely the better mana sink though :) It's also a different body than Primeval Titan. If you run that card, you might want to play the Hydra to create some diversity statwise...

Rats! Someone sold me the wrong decals over the internet! Anyway, still had to scratch that itch to see if I could print satistfying proxies. Here's the result :) I put them next to a real Vivid Meadow and Fire-Lit Thicket for reference. I am not displeased! Definitely should print them...

True, it's quite pushed. It is two colors however, and at {1}{w}{u} it's a bit lackluster.

And two random ideas... Spirit of Reparations {w}{u} Creature - Spirit Flying Whenever an opponent casts a spell that targets you or a creature you control, you may draw a card. 2/3 Recycling Plant Land {t}: Add {1} to your mana pool. Each land card in your hand has cycling {3}.

So... Moorland Haunt Nephalia Drownyard Kessig Wolf Run Gavony Township Vault of the Archangel Desolate Lighthouse Slayers' Stronghold Apparently they printed some totally sweet lands for the utility land draft in Innistrad block. Anyone noticed this cycle isn't complete? I mean, sure, you...

Scholar of the Four Winds {2}{u} Creature - Human Wizard When Scholar of the Four Winds enters the battlefield, draw as cards, then discard three cards, where X is your devotion to blue. 1/3 Mind Grinder {2}{u}{u} Creature - Human Wizard At the start of each opponent's upkeep, that player puts...
