Isn't Javelineer's Cache just dreadful?
General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

conjuress really needs the enchantment border badly
i don't see the appeal of cache, it just seems like a weirdly complicated fireball for 3?
aid of the first born is too much of a feel-bad when it draws 0 especially being a sorcery
ghostbind is fine
thornleech weaver hrm i don't see this as GB card. also dying to a shock just feels wack on a 4 drop that doesn't provide much apparent value

A few random thoughts:
1. Most of these cards are pretty cool, though I agree with anotak on pretty much all points.
2. Where are you sourcing your card art boot man?
3. How do you guys feel about finding/making a set symbol for Riptidelab stuff? Might be kind of fun to have a shared little custom touch.
4. It's OT for this thread, but does anybody care about super art/alternate art renders for existing cards? I'm starting to do them myself for my foil proxy cube. I'm start a thread and post them up if anyone cares.

I actually recognize a few of those arts, and I've used one or two myself 
3) I kinda like keeping my own set symbol. I do keep notes on whoever I'm stealing ideas from though, so you guys are credited whenever an idea makes it's way in!
4) I used to love alt renders like super art, but they just look so out of place in an amongst regular magic cards. Works for an EDH general, might work if the whole set was like that, but as long as they're cards I'm actually using I'd prefer regular old borders.
I'm no photoshop wizard though, so whenever I do need those I'm usually taking the templates from the thread on MagicSetEditor
2) They're mostly from DeviantArt, just search whatecver might be related, filter by "Digital Art" so you don't get photos or pencil sketches, and remember to source the artist.

2) Hmm... I've had kind of a hard time finding quality stuff on DeviantArt. Could be because I've mostly been browsing it on my phone. From the sound of your reply, there may be some search features that I'm not getting access to. Are you finding yourself trawling through tons of so-so art to get to stuff you wanna use?
3) No worries, figured I'd throw it out there I really should get on top of making my own set symbol I guess
4) Definitely agree with you here, my whole 360 is gonna be alt renders, even if it is taking forever...

try finding fantasy book covers you like, figure out what the illustrators set of pseudonyms are and try to find original artworks. Pulp illustration is usually pretty good for this and it can look really sweet with a little editing under the original card boarder.
It's how I find a lot of stuff for my image macros. I tend to hang around a lot of fb pages like weird tales and vintage science fiction / fantasy art blogs to get my initial research in. I wish I could remember who painted this bad boy. I don't know where to go for modern CG art dumps anymore.

Awesome feedback so far. Going to process that later when I don't have to sleep
Guys, I had at least 1 good idea tonight indulge me!
Knight Inquisitor
Creature - Human Cleric Knight
Kicker
Flash
If you kicked Knight Inquisitor, it enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter and when it enters the battlefield exile target card in a graveyard.
2/2
Eerie Whispers
Instant
Look at the top 2 cards of your library and put any number of them into you graveyard and the rest onto your library in any order.
Draw a card.
Violent Suppression
Sorcery
Target player sacrifices a non-token creature or planeswalker they control.

Ooh, nice! Very nice!
As for the Knight Inquisitor, why would you cast it without kicker? Like ever? (Unless you have an absolute glut of three drops in your hand maybe?) Isn't it more interesting if the kicker provides actual tension? I would probably increase the kicker cost to
to make paying or not a more interesting decision.Put it in your cube and see for yourself! This card seems like it'd be a real skill tester, you'll find that in many games being able to use your turn efficiently is worth more than +1/+1!Ooh, nice! Very nice!

Grixis Barterer

Whenever another non-token creature enters the battlefield, each player sacrifices a creature.

He makes sure the balance between supply and demand
Felt like a cool concept, but maybe it's to easy to break? Maybe that's the point?

Seems too easy to wrath the board and then just slam this guy down with counterspell back up. Suddenly, any deck without tokens just loses. Which pushes people to randomly play token generators. Now unless said token generators are a dime a dozen and don't all involve putting x number of 1/1s into play, I'd say this card is a bad idea.
Doesn't jamming barterer after a wrath just guarantee it dying after your opponent lands a creature of their own since both players sac?

Feels like a Balance style effect that can make games very one-sided fairly quickly.

How would you fix to make them cube worthy? In an experimental cube, I'm giving Bant an 'enchantress' theme. I would love to come up with fixes for these.
Karametra, God of Harvests
