the urn is quite nice. it lets you recycle your creatures. maybe a nice ability that lets you sac your men then just get those back just to be used again... this card looks good with giants (good with brion) and treefolk...
the equipment is just a good tribal enabler in limited...
the twinning glass might be abusable somehow... too bad infernal tutor is leaving standard, which would give you the second spell at {2}{B}...
Colfenor's Urn - 3
Artifact (R)
Whenever a creature with toughness 4 or greater is put into a graveyard from play, you may remove it from the game. At the end of turn if three or more cards have been removed from the game with Colfenor's Urn, sacrifice it. If you do return those creatures to play under their owners control.
I can't see this seeing play. At 4 toughness or more, you're looking at creatures with a minimum cmc of 3. So probably not a fast weenie deck.
Under optimal circumstances, you're only trading in 1 card for 3. More likely you'll be trading 2 for 3 to try to get their toughness up.
The fact that it can backfire doesn't help.
Runed Stalactite - 1
Artifact Equipment (C)
Equiped creature gets +1/+1 and is every creature type.
Equip: 2
Limited and draft pic, but not much else. Leonin Scimitar was very playable for a long time, but 2 cmc vs 3 cmc is huge, especially when you want to pump your 1 drop.
Unless some engine comes out from having multiple creature types on some creature, this probably isn't happening.
Twinning Glass - 4
Artifact (R) 1, T: You may play a nonland card from your hand without paying its mana cost if it shares the same name as a spell that was played this turn.
Not sure I understand the rules on this one. You only play the card once?
The first thing that came to my mind was buyback and Whitemane Lion for a fast inf loop, but if this only lets you play it once, the power lefel just isn't there. This is essentially only lowering the cost of your spell to 1, and when combined with the fact that you have to play the spell beforehand, you're actually increasing the minimum cost of your spell by 1. It's like how Quicken turned out.
There's a potential for an engine here if another card exists with buyback/some sort of self-recursion and an untap effect, but I don't think any such card's been printed in a while.

Is this the Unglued resource MaRo talked about?

True. The possibility might arise for a Combo deck using this to have only one mana and one creature left at the end the combo. But yeah, probably not. I'd rather use it on Time Stretch or Beacon of Immortality or some huge creature.

Why did I ever think a signature in comic sans was a good idea?
The Colfenor's Urn, has synergy with the Evoke creatures, and good for anti wrath effects, the only thing limiting this card is the 4 or greater power. may see play in a limited deck, but not quite sure in constructed.
Stalactite, mehh
Twinning Glass, now that is one card that screams "Break Me!!!", if iot weren't for its mana cost this card would be playable in a lot of storm decks, and may even see play in extended formats..
#1 - What's the dumbest idea you ever had?
#2 - 15/15 for 15?
#1 - Make it dumber
#2 - Give it protection from removal and counter?
#1 - DUMBER!
#2 - Add Timewalk?
#1 - DAMN IT MAN, I SAID DUMB!! DUMB !!!
#2 - It destroys everything when it attacks.... And wait, I have a friend who plays mill decks... I want to beat him too.
#1 - Excellent! Recess is over, go back and learn sex-ed with the other 6th graders.
I shall be trying out Twinning Glass in my homebrew version of Walk the Aeons/Rites of Flourishing infi turns. Sadly, Life from the Loam might be irreplaceable for going off, but I'm sure gonna try. I can't rest until a creatureless/practically creatureless deck rises to tier 1 and dominates Standard this season. It's the ultimate pee-in-your-pool thing I can do to R&D, hehehe...
No, the only reason changeling is a keyword is because the card has the types in every zone.
This only gives it in the one zone, so no need.
No, the real reason is the the text "X has Changeling" doesn't actually work. Type changing effects (like Changeling) are applied in Layer 4. An effect that would give something Changeling would be applied in Layer 5. So giving a permanent Changeling would apply too late to actually change the types of that permanent.

junk rares / good limited card (the sword)

What Unglued card would that be?
Also, its pretty nice in a mirror match. Lol
In the case of Sprout Swarm, it reduces the cost by G. Not the flashiest combo ever.
But if you have three critters out you can pay the buyback cost, can't you?
Yeah, but you could do that anyway.
