Very interesting aura with a strong payoff. Very grindy card that is hard to beat once it gets its engines running. I can see people running this, I might test this myself and put Life // Death in my mono black section. Seems great for people running aristocrats. Thoughts?
It looks like a decent option for larger sections, but I don't think it'll crack the top 4-6 cards.
As an aside, could you move all the Unstable threads into the regular card discussion area to make room for all the RIX threats that will be cropping up? It'll make threads easier to track.
This card (while fun) doesn't seem that great to me. I spent forever trying to make Pattern to Rebirth happen in my Cube and it didn't really pan out, despite it being monocolor, splashable and having an arguably stronger effect.
This is such a cool card but I think it's too hard to flip. Unless you have a sac outlet your depending on your opponent to attack into it. With all the bounce/exile/enchantment hate I don't think this is reliable enough to warrant a guild spot. Such a cool card though!
While I'm not too afraid of the instant speed blow outs happening, there are a good amount of exile effects. Meren is probably a better option anyways.
That land is super awsome and the effect is awsome, but triggering it will be a bit too difficult combined with the risk of a 2 for 1.
It requires an abundance of sac outlets before it’s even considered, which is too narrow for GB.
With a TON of sac outlets, I could conceive of decks where I’d play the card.
Would I pay 3 mana for ramping this land on the battlefield and triggering an etb effect from a creature in play?
Absolutely.
But it needs to be consistent... which is not possible without a lot of sac outlets.
I think the aura needed to give the creature some kind of benefit for this to be considered. I don't think it cracks the top 7-8 Golgari cards. I like it a lot for EDH/casual.
It's really a shame you can't put this on your opponents' creatures. That was the coolest thing about False Demise. I like the card, but Golgari is my tightest section, so I'll only add it if I happen to open it. Flipping really doesn't seem that hard. Sure, you can sacrifice it, but there are also wraths, combat tricks, and the fact that the opponent can't always just ignore the creature. I have never had a problem getting Pattern of Rebirth to work in my cube.

I'd like to test this card out. What commonly run sac outlets exist in cube that don't cost too much mana and are black/green/colorless?
Sakura-Tribe Elder
Innocent Blood
Natural Order
Yavimaya Elder
Did I miss any? Obviously, you can kill your own stuff with a variety of methods. I might have to regrettably pass, but I may test it.
