One of 1,100 of those Fastbonds ever made Pretty amazing!
Anyway, after swapping Beta Bolt for a CE one and having Jeskai Ascendancy combo show up big at Worlds, think this is my new top-dollar card at Peasant:
There's a matching Ghitu Encampment a couple feet away, too. Still begrudging the cost of Treetop Villages, though.
That can't possibly be the most expensive card in your cube. What about foil Man-o'-war or Mother of Runes?
Well the TCG "Mid" for Foils right now is 18... though that's not particularly accurate, since it's based on exactly two NM/LP copies Anyway, going by that questionable price, it is high enough to be slight above foils of stuff like Treasure Cruise, Man-O'-War, Forbid, Looter il-Kor... guess I like blue cards! 4th Sylvan is right in that range, too.
(Mom is just a pack non-foil, not tagged "foil needed" on CubeTutor since I have other priorities before spending 40 on a shiny one).
Hard to tell from the pics, but the 4 cards I need to get to be fully pimped is Alpha/Beta Counterspell, Savannah Lion, Demonic Tutor, Swords to Plowshares and a p3k Imperial Recruiter. Getting close!
Those are really sweet! I love the Alpha/Beta stuff too; it's what I always try for. I can help you out a little bit on your remaining Peasant A/B needs... Savannah Lions has never had a printing other than Rare in paper
Yeah a number of peasant cube owners play pretty fast and loose with rarities. If it appears on MTGO as an uncommon, then BAM, straight in the paper cube. Not to mention the somewhat hazy rarity system in Arabian Nights (that didn't technically have what they called rares, but it totally did). At this point, you might as well play Library of Alexandria too.
When I pick one up it'll probably go in. Then maybe a beta sol ring one day.
Yeah I'm pretty liberal with my definition of uncommon....any official release in print or online, English or not, and if something was ever called uncommon then it's up for consideration. So u2s, mtgo releases, renaissance printings, etc
I like how on the old border cards you can still clearly tell where the border stops, so it almost looks like there's a layer of glass or something on top of the art.

Rest in RIP My Signature, I guess. 2015-2016, we hardly knew ye.
Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5

Thanks a lot guys. Yeah I do think it looks better on the old border cards
I really like the Darksteel swords on the old border. I just wish that the Sword of Feast and Famine old border promo had been done with Mark Zug art to give us hopes of being able to have an old border cycle with that art style and a new border cycle in the Chris Rahn style.
Those Chris Rahn foils are sick, though. I love those dual color signed versions, wtwlf. Did you meet Chris and have them signed or were they already signed when you picked them up?
That's very clever Galspanic, you're right that I didn't notice. It was very flawlessly done so I just assumed they were like that in Modern Masters haha. Very subtle pimp
Went to GP Strassburg, just now getting around to posting the alter Ryan Yee did for me: The photo quality is terrible I know, poor lighting and shaky hands hehe. It is foil though.
Also, Modfly just completed my Mana Elf commission:
Thanks Agent56k, I'm looking forward to getting them in the mail
@ Hardbody: Sick swords there man! Wish I could see them in person, since I'm sure the foil is stunning like that! I guess we both have a sweet set now

Yeah, Altaurus, as soon as I saw those Modfly alters on facebook, I knew they were for a cube. I suspected it would be yours!

Some pretty spicy ones in between there, Sparki!
I love the conspiracy foils, they probably spend the most time on the table looking shiny out of all cards in the cube
I'm also a fan of the theros block enchantment creatures as foil.
I too, like the conspiracy foils. They looks so nice!
I'm surprised most of them are pretty cheap aside from Backup Plan. You'd think with Lore Seeker at ~$50, the conspiracies would be priced accordingly.
