Get your Scorched Ruins and Lotus Vale before they're 30 USD I guess

I think this is where we disagree- you're still 'using' your priority when you do a "tap... wait, untap" bluff. You CANNOT do this if you don't have priority. By readily 'relinquishing' his priority and letting his opponent perform a game action (blocking) he's entering the game-state fudging...

The difference being that the game rules are being enforced when Tom asks to block. If your opponent stops you mid-action while you have priority (Jessup's example), and vaguely moves the steps/phases around on their own with no priority changes, they aren't maintaining game state, which both...

This is the only one I had read before opening this thread. Personally I think opponent just played badly in scenario #2, and got game-information checked in #3, so nothing is really wrong. #1, however, has a quality that annoys me in magic: Nothing wrong with faking a spell while you have...

I slammed a proxy, but like all mono red planeswalkers, she's been received pretty poorly- as more of a "well I guess I have to win the game SOMEhow" for Rx control decks and such than anything else. I honestly think they designed her without the {R}{R} mode, struggled to find a way to make...

This is too good in 1v1, right?

I think council's dilemma is just fixed will of the council. Even in multiplayer games the caster's desired effect was unlikely unless the majority were playing 'from behind' or what-have-you. Capital Punishment seems somewhat like Remorseless Punishment? Dilemma cards are SO much better...

Not really Marchesa herself but I'm pretty interested in the Monarch mechanic. Maybe they'll print some non-embarrassing cards with "you become the monarch" text that signals the start of the minigame. I'm super-low on "announce / keep track of some stuff while you draft" cards but the...

I played an awful red/green deck with fine tricks but the creatures were really bad. I won matches for all the wrong reasons but luckily split with my final round opponent before he could crush me with his nine removal spells and four meld pairs. I prefer The Gideons of the Galaxy myself but...

Doesn't fill your graveyard- delve, delirium/goyf count, threshhold etc. Can't snapcaster/buy it back with similar effects Doesn't trigger instant/sorcery cards like delver of secrets/young pyromancer/scepter etc. Simply less powerful than edicts that cost less or have additional effects/instant...

Thoughts on Oath of Liliana? I assumed it would get ignored in favor of the various better/cheaper edicts, and it has what I perceive as the significant downside of being a permanent. Am I just way wrong on that or does it hit a nice place with some kind of enchantment theme or something...

I figured no one mentioned it because no one cares about Berserkers' Onslaught I like enchantments that are a bit like moving auras, but there aren't a whole lot of them. Nahiri's Machinations

A lot of this stuff is neat design but doesn't seem like it would play nice in cube or they just aren't quite powerful enough. Faith Unbroken is cool but has archetype limitations (controlling decks won't always have a creature) and makes your opponent's regular removal that much better...

Power of the Moon Enchantment Whenever an opponent casts a spell, sacrifice ~ and counter that spell. What a neat card. It seems pretty abysmal in cube where almost every deck has a card they're willing to throw under the bus- a mana dork, a pump spell etc, but it seems like a cool "shield"...

Ye olde emrakul cult sigil Is goblin arsonist + scorching spear too much value for 2 cmc?

Nah, I'm with Chris. Reduce in stature keeps it a creature, which gives you an opportunity to counteract your dragon becoming tiny with buffs/removal+recursion etc. This thing removes all card types so you can't even gate it back to your hand, sacrifice it (as a creature) or anything- your only...

New wild mongrel- almost always an upgrade, I'd imagine.

Chaos Reveler ~ costs {1} less to cast for each instant or sorcery card in your graveyard. Prowess When ~ ETBs, discard your hand and draw three cards. Me like

I know this isn't a cube card, but I want to play it
