Shit, I forgot about the "only during combat" part of Surprise Deployment. Let's change it to Flash then... Or... a... Scout's Warning!

Oooooooooooh. Finally a Serendib Efreet that doesn't feel like it's breaking the color pie.

I literally had this card in my customs ideas folder.
Splice onto instant sorcery is interesting. It's a good fix, but I'm not wholly convinced that all the problems are solved. Not like you can interact with a deck like this outside of mindrot
I might actually consider trying this. Seems good with storm cards...
This is actually kind of anti-synergy with storm, since the spliced spell isn't considered to be cast. Or is there another angle I'm missing?
You get a Golem for each spell this turn, since the spell with storm has the added text "Create a 3/3 colorless Golem artifact creature token.", before being copied.
Ugggg WOTC why you gotta make me question my Gruul Riot deck? I already have Life from the Loam/Molten Vortex together.
They had better put a good R/G GY lands gold card into this set or else I'm going to be struck by a flying ice cream truck (and live unscathed).

Eh, it's not an improvement, but I'll take the new border reprint!
Yeah, Splicer's Skill looks pretty sweet! I wanted to say so yesterday, but my browser bugged out, and I didn't feel like retyping the whole post again :')
Oh my god, they are testing me so hard with the Ninja's. I need some control-focused guilds, and is the strongest now ... but Ninjas! If they are too awesome I might have t reconsider some choices ... hugely. I hate you wizards, stop printing awesome stuff that contradicts my cube archetypes!
Well, Blink and Graveyard are just what I'm doing, and Creaturefall could work well with my as-many-tokens-as-possible approach and give me a nice gold payoff. But most importantly, that archetype sounds like we could get some nice discard outlets here! PLEASE!
The set in general seems to be so so much for me. After the WAR disappointment, I feel really catered too. MH1 will be my first prerelease since Shdows over Innistrad. Heck, it has a chance to become my favorite set since original Ravnica. Only grain of salt for me is the overly strong focus on tribal themes.
PS: I hope for a splice onto instants/sorceries on blue/red/black cards

This actually seems like a really cool card. I'm sure there are decks interested in the Bazaar effect, like some kind of UB dredge thing, as well as there being Ux discard decks, and Ux tempo decks that don't mind trading cards for some aggresion? Really cool card.
Rummaging Goblin has a nice flavor text and a nice art on M13, M15 and Ixalan. I am not sure neither the Goblin nor the Sliver will ever have a home in a cube.
Signals Slivers so don’t run it unless you have other Slivers.

Oh. Oh my.
I think I like this better than Path to Exile. Instant speed 1 mana removal is simply way too efficient. The sorcery speed 2 CMC cost is way more palatable, and the overload prompts the same interesting decisions I liked with Mizzium Mortars.

I do wonder if six mana plague wind will be a bit much though...

Pathium Mortars seems good. I've always wanted a solid instant/sorcery 2cc removal thing (Young pyromancer is a hell of a drug), and another option there is nice.
Is it just me, or is this set not actually any good for modern? Everything I see is like "Oh, that's interesting, it reminds me of X. It's worse, but it's cool"
There's also this little fella:
G
Creature - Snake
Level up 1 (1: Put a level counter on this. Level up only as a sorcery.)
Level 3-7: Hexdrinker has protection from instants. [4/4]
Level 8+: Hexdrinker has protection from everything. [6/6]
2/1
So Green Savannah Lions, protection from instants is cool but not overbearing, and the ultimate is cute and ends the game, but costs 9.
I like it!

If you're doing nothing else, that's a smaller Progenitus on turn 4. A 2/1 for alone is nice, edging Magic ever closer to a viable green aggro deck, and this has a decent upside. However, apart from proliferate shenanigans, is this better than...

Anxiously waiting for Penny Pincher 3.

Probably. Kessig is 6 in, has to be paid all at once. Same size, and reverse menace is probably worse than pro instants.
As proliferate's biggest fan, I wouldn't worry too much about that interaction, the level up is
Im honestly most worried about the ultimate coming out too quickly. If you curve out with this on turn 4 it ults next turn.
