    Don't get me wrong, I'm tempted, but I'm suspect of the value of a card that is strictly for answering powerful lands. Like wasteland can stop people from playing their 4 drops (Or some might argue, magic) but if you take away that angle entirely, is the resulting card even worth running? (And...

    8 mana is a metric fuckton, even in slow formats. You need to put some serious pressure on your drafters to make 7 realistic, let alone 8.

    I love the concept, but I hate the activation cost of Tec edge, let alone this

    I really do love Emeria Angel

    I will say if there's one change ever that makes me cut down on planeswalkers it'll be this. There was a surprising ammount of balance that came from all my green planeswalkers accidentally being named nissa, all the red ones being named chandra, etc.

    I think my favorite thing about tidehollow sculler is that at one point in my cube he practically had pro black: Go for the throat doom blade victim of night ultimate price

    I think I might be in a "Why not both?" situation here

    Card/Deck The Rakdos Cult (BR)

    I guess I might play it in the midrange vs control matchup where even a midly recusive threat like him would help. He does earn points for being playable in any RB aggro deck but better in ones with gravecrawler and goblin bombardment

    Card/Deck Artifact/Enchantment destruction

    that first quote about innistrad is by the amazing KillingAGoldfish, some of my favorite writing about limited I've ever read, highly recommend. Sideborading I tend to like less in terms of Deathmark or Disenchant and more in terms of Figure of Destiny or Bygone Bishop. Having to maindeck...

    Card/Deck The Simic Combine (GU)

    I've never understood the appeal of coiling oracle. You get half Sakura-Tribe Elder and half Elvish Visionary, and I don't love either of those a ton, and this is orders of magnitude harder to cast!

    Is Alpha low power? He looks nuts

    It's not "win more", but the "I'm losing" side is so below the curve, and the "winning" side is just kinda... Par.... Not the biggest fan

    Totally manageable. Probably the most balanced Walker in my cube, which is odd

    See I feel that 1ur sorcery, gain control if target artifact is too much or horrible (depending), and dack is waaaaaaaaay more than that

    I'm not sure we've actually hit the right red 5 I like yet. Sarkhan is nice in that he offers a choice about where to send the 4 damage, but as a matter of necessity for a planeswalker he's indestructible, something I loathe on any card. Glorybringer offers a different sort of gameplay, and has...

    I've always kept my lands mixed because otherwise Lucas takes all the islands to another table by accident

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Even if it's totally manageable, I wouldn't really consider it fun. I've never found a middle ground between "my opponent can't do anything" and "Why the hell did I first pick balduvian barbarians?"

    Make sure your removal is shit tho. End of turn doom blade seems like insanity against Lord of shatterskull pass

    Convincing me day after day to cut more aggro cards :P I kid. He's good. We've been altrenating cube and board games because of some fatigue from my play group, and as an aside, Tyrants of the Underdark is excellent. I'm rubbish at it, but it's sweet. My only complaint is that everyone's...
