I don't know why, but I just kinda like this card. Would anyone here ever consider cubing it?
I know my cube is a bit different and I run 30 Izzet cards, so have a lot more space, but just want other peoples opinions. (I might try it in place of Crackleburr which just requires too much effort).
Doesn't even favorably compare to monocolor options like Suq'ata Lancer, Fervent Cathar or Ronin Houndmaster . It's trying to do two different things. It's not good enough for aggro or the slower, mana-hungry decks that could use a mana-sink like this (and as a scryer, it's also worse than a fewavailableoptions). You could make an argument with Desolate Lighthouse as comparison, but I think the land blows it out of the water by being useful earlier and getting cards into your hand faster. Stormcaller might come in around #12-15, and that's being generous, I think.
I think UR has a plethora of card selection options. This guy is certainly good in limited - 2 mana is just enough that you can filter through your deck fairly quickly. Maybe even a non rare cube and definitely for a 30 card izzet section.
Haha, who knows? Maybe. 30 cards is insanely big, and Izzet doesn't have a very deep shelf of playable cards. I can't imagine a deck that I'd really want to play this card in. My pool would have to be awful for me to either pick this from a pack or play this in my deck.
After looking through your izzet section, it might be better than stitch in time since it consistently is what it is whereas stitch can actually do nothing for you depending on luck and that's awful. Nin, Pain Artist could be better than both but that could be wrong.
Is it just me or are the proportions and angle of her right arm a bit off? The more I look at it, the more it bothers me. It might just be because of the funky lighting, though.
This is only worth considering in an unusual cube. I could maybe see it as a 23rd card in aggressive decks or a way for combo decks to find pieces (though it becomes a nonbo with tutors which reshuffle your deck). I don't like it much, SHE HAS A WEIRD ARM!!!

Agreed, but his Izzet section apparently IS ginormous. Do you think it's anywhere near top 30 for Izzet?

I updated my cube for BNG recently (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showpost.php?p=11650378&postcount=7) and she actually ended up not going in for now.
