On a seperate note, I am seriously trying to make some kind of block deck that will play Lavinia for the PT. I'll probably go 0-6 in SD with said deck but damnit I want it to work!
If your cube has a bunch of token making effects, this guy could be pretty good since making a 1/1 then making a 3/3 or something is pretty sweet. Still think Cloadgoat is just flat better though.
I have a 6 card section and I include Geist, Venser, Sphere, Verdict, Arbiter, Revelation. Of those 6 I only feel that Arbiter is actually worse than this guy and I've just got toooo big a man crush on him to cut him. I don't think Geist, Sphere, Verdict need explanation and Venser just does such nasty things that I think cutting him is wrong. Revelation is a personal favorite of mine and thus would never cut.
I'm going to cut arbiter to test out Lavinia but if he isn't flat out insane, i might go back to Arbiter.
The more I think about Turn//Burn the more I actually want to play it. The fact that it deals with Thragtusk, Angel of Serenity, and more makes me pretty happy with it. Sure it's not the most elegant of cards, nor is it the most powerful of effects but it does fill a unique slot.
I feel like the major point that people have tried to make here and has somehow been skipped over a couple times is that these cubes are inherently our own. If I choose to use an organizational/categorizing method that is completely different from everyone else, that is my choice as it is my cube. Could this possibly result in drafts that are less fun or balanced or both? Sure but so long as my play group and I have no problems with it, no one else's opinion matters!
Long story short, we are never going to agree on everything so how bout we just agree on that and everyone just be friendly neighbors!
Back on topic, I'm not sure how I feel about this card. I think it's going to be better than I feel it actually is but paying 5 mana for that effect just doesn't seem exciting to me.
This, exactly this. I feel like the missed on this one pretty bad. (art that is)
this.
but seriously, I need an adult! My innocent mind has been altered by these images!
^This, just this made my day!
