Like almost every 3 mana walker (and like almost every 3 mana walker that a # of people swore would be awful, like Nissa, Voice of Zendikar/Ashiok) it's been good. The + doesn't always kill something, but it's fine to tick up to the nearly-unbeatable ultimate, and the - is great when you know there's something to grab and it's a nice option for hail mary's.
Least favorite is Dack because it's such a let down for an otherwise-awesome PW. Favorite is Karn. One of my favorite cube moments is Zealous Conscripting a ready-to-ultimate Karn.
Liliana is good. Her +1 impacts the board by either killing small creatures or protecting herself. The -2 ability can provide good toolbox utility, getting back a clutch creature when needed. But she can build up to her ultimate surprisingly fast, and the ultimate pretty much wins the game.
The Last Hope is a good card. Costs three, defends herself, can create can advantage and is a legitimate win condition.
One of the more frequent ultimates is Garruk Wildspeaker's. Perhaps the worst is that of Ashiok, hard to imagine a situation where you would prefer to use that over the other two abilities even if you have the loyalty for it.
It's a great card, and especially good as a white card since there are a number of removal spells you can grab in conjunction with all the other sick stuff. It's amazing when you have something super high impact, like Moat or Opposition, though it's hard to build a deck where ET has no targets.
Also, is it on purpose that Enlightened Tutor kinda looks like ET? Never noticed that before!
I'm incredibly messy and disorganized. (In 5th grade I got an F for neatness and a D for handwriting lol.) It pretty much permeates into every aspect of my life, whether noticeable with just being kinda sloppy with certain stuff or subconsciously as I tend to tangent in all conversation, which is a direct result of generally lacking a point B to every point A. It's gotten a lot better since I was younger, but I'm still awful at making plans of any sort and I'm still pretty impulsive/'stream of conscious' in my life/speech. But, whatever, it's not really an issue especially since my gf is on top of *****.
I really like enlightened tutor. There are so many high-impact and/or build-around enchantments and artifacts to tutor for, plus a toolbox of utility targets too. One of my favotite tutor effects available.
Enlightened Tutor is great. So many of the targets it can fecth are bombs and/or deck defining, not to mention many white removals are enchantments. Especially nice since white has very few card selection effects.
The artwork by Dan Frazier was originally meant for a card in mirage called "Mox Crystal". 0 cost like all the other moxen but only tapped for colourless. Dan Frazier was specifically picked since he did the other moxen and he tried to reference them in the art with the 5 WUBRG stones in the tutors hat.
some non playable promos of the card were made back in 2003 and a quite a colectors item i believe. Wonder if anybody cubes with the promo!
Managorger Hydra, while an all-star in Origins limited, never had a big impact on my cube playgroup. It was difficult to reliably grow and took too long to get out of the range of cheap red removal.
I like this type of effect though. Were I to cube with a card like this one, it would be Vinelasher Kudzu.
Expertise has been OK, but -3-3 can be a bit weak at times and even worse when you don't have anything great to play off it. I might like Black Sun's Zenith more.
I like Expertise and still run it at 555. It's easily the weakest black sweeper, though it is sweet when you can chain it into a decent 3-drop dude afterward.
I've never been arrested or anything, but I do have some fun cop stories. I once had a cop bust up a good sized party at my house. It was my girlfriend at the time's birthday and I had actually just proposed to her that day. Also, earlier that week I had bought a new truck, so I was feeling pretty good about life. I was out in the driveway revving the engine and being generally obnoxious (I was about 22 or so at the time). Apparently the neighbors weren't a fan of this or all the cars parked along the street or the loud music so they called in a complaint. A few of my friends were out on the front porch partaking in some Snoop Dogg like activities when they suddenly came running in yelling, "Cops. Cops are here!" Then comes the inevitable knock at the door. I open it and see a guy I went to high school with all decked out in the blue uniform, his car lights flashing in my driveway. He comes in and takes up all our IDs (some - most? - were under 21). He points at the Snoop Dogg partakers and says, "You, you and you, outside with me. The rest hang tight. I'll be right back." And I'm thinking, 'This MFer. We went to school together since elementary!' So he's outside for long enough to kill everyone's buzz before he comes back in. When he does he says, "Ok, some of you are getting citations. Some others are going to jail." Everyone's face just drops. We can't believe this is happening. Then he looks around the room for a minute and says, "God, lighten up guys. April Fools." It was crazy. We didn't even think about the date. My girlfriend's birthday was March 30 and we were just having the party on the weekend. He hung out for a few more minutes and actually ended up coming back later in his street clothes and having a beer with us. He did tell us the neighbors had called in a complaint and asked us to turn the music down and stop revving the engine. Very strange night, though. The funniest part is that when the guys came in yelling "Cops" a few of the partiers took off out the back door and just ran through people's yards. One of which I didn't see again for a few days until I saw him at work and had to tell him this story.
My favorite Angel is Karmic Guide. Doesn't quite pass muster these days, but it has a special place in my heart.
Here's my cube! Give it a draft!
my favourite angels are resto and angelic overseer. Destroyed with mono white humans and angelic overseer at GP Calgary back in the day.
Liliana, the Last Hope
What planeswalker ultimate ability is your favorite and/or least favorite?
Least favorite is Dack because it's such a let down for an otherwise-awesome PW. Favorite is Karn. One of my favorite cube moments is Zealous Conscripting a ready-to-ultimate Karn.

Enlightened Tutor
How organized are you? Does everything have its place, or do you just 'know' where everything is?
Also, is it on purpose that Enlightened Tutor kinda looks like ET? Never noticed that before!

How many spells could a hydra cast if a hydra could cast spells?
I like this type of effect though. Were I to cube with a card like this one, it would be Vinelasher Kudzu.

Experiment One
Do you have dedicated 'flex' slots in your cube to experiment with new cards? Why or why not?
I don't need dedicated flex slots because that's not how I playtest potential new inclusions.
