It's not bad, but white's 5-drop suite is deep and full of creature's that better contribute to white's archetypes.
True, what's your thoughts on Praetor's Grasp? 6/14/2014 1:35:58 AM
And would you consider No Mercy to be a card that's too abusive and so powerful that it makes it not fun?
Neither would see play in my powered 360. I'd rather spend my time doing other things with my mana with Praetor's Grasp -- you need to be able to actually cast the card off of it with appropriate mana, which really decreases it's playability and usefulness.
No Mercy wouldn't matter that much because we're doing other things besides swinging in with guys that need to get multiple hits in -- but even in the case of aggro, they can either remove it, remove it with an effect straped to a body, or get so much value off of hitting with a sword that it makes it not be all that big of a deal -- and they'll get in damage before it's even relevant.
[edit - I don't even have it in my pauper cube and I never considered it.]
I used to write cube articles on StarCityGames, now for GatheringMagic and podcast about cube (w/Antknee42.)

She is one of the better cards in my classic (old border) cube, but that's pretty much it.
Juju Alters - Altered MTG Cards
I'm going to add Naughty//Nice and hope it adds some fun gameplay elements. I think it's really a "black" card though instead of BW.
