I'm considering testing Show and Tell. Someone tell me why this is an awful idea.
I see some issues.
First, what are you S&T'ing into? In Peasant, threats are generally much weaker than answers, so you set up an S&T, your opponent drops their Volcanic Dragon or whatever and then Doom Blades your Ulamog's Crusher?
Second: What sort of gameplay are you hoping to promote? If they have the answer, you set yourself up for a two for one. If you managed to go Ancient Tomb into turn 2 ulamog's crusher and they don't have the answer, you just win.
Not sure if any of that sounds like it would be fun.
Attempting to revive this thread with Mutilate. Think it would be interesting, and I don't think it would be obviously too strong, as it likely starts out as a 4 mana Infest but then can grow more powerful.
About Grave Pact, it would probably never be an uncommon, realistically. But I don't think it would necessarily be that busted in Peasant cube. It requires a bit of set up, and the BBB is also restrictive. But it feels like a cool card to build around.
Perhaps it would turn out to be a bad card for cube actually. Not bad as in low-powered, but bad in that when it is seen late in the draft no-one can pick it up, and bad that in some decks were you want to play it you can't really play it because of the mana, and bad that in it turns the decks that want it into a "did they draw it"-lottery with a very large gap in power level between the games in which they did and did not draw it.
EDIT: yeah, no, my comment is crap. You don't need to build around grave pact for it to be busted.
