I dropped this card. I really, really like it. I like that its broken. I like that it creates imbalance. I like how you can regrow as squee and time walk again. because the absolute worst case is that you shuffle and play again.
But, i dropped it. Because after my friends became aware of the thread, they all cited it as reason to exclude it. Which was fine, but I hadnt realized that I was the only one enjoying it. And thats not what my cube is for.
I played lots of mental magic in my day, but the restriction was that you could only use a card with the same mana cost printed on the card you were using. so the 3U cards you found were usually Fact or Fiction then Flashed back as Deep Analysis. And each card could only be played once (each MTG card, not each physical card).
I was loads of fun.
Your placeholder card, if it works like I think it does (e.g. it can be any magic card and when I play it, it IS that card) is easily the most powerful card in the cube by an insane margin. I don't think the OP intended it to only work with obscure suspend and cycling stuff. I think you actually get a wildcard.
yes indeed, it is a wild card. you got the nail on the head.
I have a cube that will ultimately be powered. I only run black lotus, library of alexandria, and mana drain at the moment. To pick up a bit of slack I came up with an idea which I stole from Harry Potter.
I run one blank card, with a slip of paper, on which is written "the card of requirement" which is, at all times except while on the stack or on the battlefield, any card which you require it to be.
I understand how this will be considered hokey by a lot of people, but it is really kind of rad at the same time. No one has complained about anyway.
What are other peoples thoughts on a one-of wild card in your cube? Do you guys view your cube as "too pure" to include something like this?
Comments welcome.
I feel like I have explained poorly, and for that I apologize. The card of requirement, tcor, is any card you require while anyplace except on the stack or battlefield, but while on the stack or battlefield it is whatever card you have chosen to cast. so lets say you cast silence, tcor becomes silence, resolves or is countered, and then when it gets placed in the graveyard it then becomes, lets say, genesis.
the spirit of the card is to add a wild card element. i hope you all understand better my intention with tcor.

Thank you for all the help everyone.

still insanely powerful. i understand if people shy away from things like this, but its cool to hear other peoples thoughts.
