Well Blood Artist is sweet... double the mana cost (now it comes down much later) and give him a marginal evasive body... it's possible. They never played it in any constructed format though, did they?

Player casts Mark of Mutiny stealing a freshly cast Vorapede, then sacrifices it to Birthing Pod post-combat. The +1/+1 counter prevents Vorapede's Undying from triggering.

I would play Mad Stitcher, but you gotta give me a creature type!

I saw via sideways glance that Travis Woo made a modern Shamans deck. Are any of the ideas transferable to cube?

Half those 3's can't be Vialed into play...

Merfolk has entered my cube in place of Trinket Mage, and is super castable and sufficiently powerful for even my cube, and is even on theme for the new lifegain stuff.

Zombies, Pod and Lifegain all want Blood Artist

Christ, you guys do not know terror until you face down this combination: Blood Artist Birthing Pod It got online and the game got hard. I couldn't race. I couldn't trade profitably. Combat math became increasingly impossible as my life-total dwindled. Blood Artist continues to do better than...

Do we count Mox Diamond as a cool thing Trinket Mage can do? Mox Diamond only accelerates you if you have two lands in hand, and by the time you play the Mage that's not often a guarantee.

Hmm... maybe. :) I've actually seen these types of arguments used far more often in constructed. There's some smug bastard at the local store who always takes great pride in saying that X card/deck is weak to Y card/deck. Then he plays these total abortions and goes 1 - 3 and moans about mana...

I'm not sure I fully understand the question. Can you elaborate?
