Intuition for Skaab Ruinator, Unearth and Snapcaster Mage
Unearth, Snapcaster, Unearth is such a fun play.

I think her design is better then Liliana of the Veil. 3 mana Lily is amazing at forcing a game of attrition, but her power level really forces an acceleration of your format that may or may not be palatable. This Liliana focuses on the same war of attrition, but rewards setup and advances your own gameplan rather then strictly screwing over your opponents. I guess you could run both, but they are both kind of in the same niche so its dicey if you want both.

Anyway, I want to like double-faced cards, but they're such a hassle to play with inexperienced players...

Fuck the inexperienced players. Mobile phones provide google on the go & if they don't get it after playing with it once or twice then they don't deserve to enjoy your cube.

Typically it's not always the best plan to be planning your draft around the night side of a flip card (something that might not happen anyways)

You are totally right, but transform cards are very hard to gauge for some of my friends. Also, taking it out of my double sleeve is a nightmare...

I thought this was what clear sleeves were for? I just put the flip cards in clear sleeves in the middle of the table, and use the placeholder cards that were in the Innistrad & DKA boosters. Sure, it is a tell when a player goes and reads the cards from the middle of the table, but seems just as much of a tell, and less disruptive, than taking cards out of sleeves.
I remember someone around here was making single-faced placeholders for the flip cards.

Yeah I do that, I make them like Kamigawa flip cards. It gives you all the information you need while drafting, it works as a placeholder in your deck, you don't even need the real card if you don't care, and new players will think it's a flip card and this will not actually mislead them about what it does.
Ah nice, those are cooler than mine. Let's see... I only run the Delver and the Reckless Waif now, but check these out:
Edit: the border between the images isn't too nice, but it's really easy to do with magic set editor.

I asked Pichoro (of MSE templates fame) if he can make a template for the nice proxies Jonas uses. Let's hope he can!

Looks like no beans. He's deferring to better templates supposedly out there... Can't find anything so far.
Maybe you can ask him to give you some directions?

I don't think he does that, if I remember correctly, because it might facilitate forgery.
If Wizards prints DFC like those posted by Jonas (or even the Kamigawa flip cards), I'd run a couple of them. As it stands though, not a fan. Taking cards in and out of sleeves is bogus. As is having two copies you swap in and out of the game. This is just a stupid mechanic that does not work well with physical cards IMO.
You don't swap them. When the placeholder card is in play, just put the real one on top of it. This is what people were doing when we drafted those sets, it works quite well.

So, is this a good tutor? I'm mostly thinking of playing it in my BUG cube which has a graveyard theme going.
How good are cards like
in Riptide-style cubes? Too narrow? Too powerful? They seem like they could give interesting play to Gifts Ungiven or Intuition decks
