Actually I were just about to compare it with the creature Absorb. As I'm a big absorb fanboy myself... But I just wouldn't go there.
yeah except it's splashable, competitively costed, and one color. i love absorb but it's worth noting that none of the arguments against it are valid against the missionary.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.

No, the arguments against Lone Missionary is another set. Like a vanilla 2/1 for 2 is uninteresting in any kind of deck. So the only way it's good enough is if the 4 life makes a difference in the game.
As I wrote before I'll probably try out the Lone Missionary again. But I don't think it will stick in my cube for long. But maybe I'm wrong.
Yeah - me and my playgroup like it. It's a perfect counterburn card, because it gives you a way to use your lands lategame, or it can create chumpblockers until you get the final burnspells to kill the opponent.
your cuts look good, but at 900 cards i'd keep orim's thunder and dismantling blow because there just aren't that many cheap, instant speed disenchants around that you can afford to lose some. or so i imagine, having never played your cube.

It have been a while, but now I need the communities help once again. I will appriciate if you can give me 5 minutes of your time.
I need to cut some white cards after I moved my one-colored lands to the colored sections. Further more I have the following two cards in the mail. Elspeth Tirel Honor of the Pure
So I need to cut 4 white cards. I think Humility will be one of them. What should the other 3 cards be?

I'm with qq on Karakas and Mangara but Shining Shoal is decent. My 3rd cut would be Iona but I could see Exile as another possibility if you like the Angel.
Concerning Karakas, there's currently 49 legendary creatures in my cube. That's quite a bit. Karakas makes your opponents legendary creatures useless, and are a great way to save your own, or abuse certain others (like mangara).
I have never played a white deck where I didn't want to include Karakas. But I'll think about it. Thanks for the suggestions.

It has pretty much no drawback so including it in every white deck seems like the right call. OTOH I'd probably never cut Urborg out of my black deck but that doesn't make it good. If it's been working for you however you should leave it in.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
I think that Agony Warp + Spellbound Dragon are good enough for such a big cube. If I had one additional gold slot, I would play with both of them in my cube that contains only half as many cards.
Obvious U/R cards > Gelectrode > Spellbound Dragon > Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind > almost any other U/R card > Suffocating Blast
Obvious U/B cards > Agony Warp > Recoil > Nemesis of Reason > Undermine
Nemesis really isn't a bad card but U/B should have no problems finding finishers. I like Gelectrode more than the dragon because he is actually very good in U/R counter-burn. He just sucks in every other deck.
The Suffocation Blast is actually in the cube because one of my friends like it. So I kept it for his sake even though I don't like it personally. But yeah the blast is definatly also on the block.

No, it doesn't. It has nothing to do with how it performs in the cube.
Elite Vanguard has been garbage in all of it's draft formats, should you cut that too?
I think you are. It will probably stick around. It's been far batter than the 2/1 fliers, as it's good in every deck, not just aggro.

this isn't the only odd card on this list, but i'm pretty sure necromancy makes the cut at 900 cards.

Undermine > Cancel in a UB deck.
But I agree that Undermine aren't that good.
