I'm so conflicted about Bontu's Last Reckoning... it effectively costs at least 6CMC unless you can untap the lands. But even then whatever else you tap won't untap. Is the plan to replace to playtest replacing the original Bolas with the new one then?
Couple of questions for you, your updates say your running signets and talismen but they don't seem to be in your decklist here or on cubetutor, am I being blind, have you removed them or not updated?
That Pai Mei is dope. The others are sweet too, but Pai Mei is just so spot on. Are you going to get the Monk token altered to be Beatrice Kiddo? Or get multiples altered as Bill/etc?

Psychatog is still the best Dimir card. It killed me last night from 22, through a Tasigur and a Hangarback on 2 hanging out on defense. 'Tog + Memory Jar is just so nutz. Hell, it did 22 damage to me after being reduced to a 0/1 from a Toxic Deluge for 5. Literally any other creature in the game and I would've won that game. It's an absurd Magic card. Oh, and it only costs 3 mana and also functions as an enabler for an archetype.
Dismember the Hangarback. Pitch cards to make 'Tog a 5/6. Toxic Deluge for 5 to kill Tasigur and Thopters. Activate Memory Jar, pitch/exile everything, attack for 22.
It was a really complicated turn that took a while to navigate the correct line. But he got there, and I got 1-shotted by 'Tog.
Hahaha, that is savage Well done to the player who pulled that off! Tog hasn't been given the love it deserves in my cubes but I think next time I see it early in a draft I'll give it a go and try to do it justice.
Yeah, thought it would need a fair bit of removal backup but still 22 damage through a deluge for 5 is a bit insane. Must try drafting tog a bit higher. Thanks for sharing.
This is a surprising switch! Are you pushing the red token sub theme? And you think the the exile of Incendiary Flow relevant? Sorcery speed is a decent drawback.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
My Cubes - The Busted Cube. A fully functional, almost 100% custom cube. The project started out by asking "What if other colors got cards on the power level of Mana Drain,Ancestral Recall, and Time Walk?" Draft and enjoy!
Bombardment has always been good, but with all the recent help for both tokens and recursive creature decks, it can really shine.
Between all the cheap recursive creatures and all the additional support for recursion shells (Alesha, 'Lark, Feldon, etc) I think that the exile clause will be more relevant than ever before. Instant speed will be valuable in more situations, but when the exile matters, it's really clutch.
I've been wanting to exchange those effects for something more interesting for quite a while. What made me ultimately pull the trigger was the spoiling of Abrade. Now that I know I have a pending 2cc 3-damage instant to kill creatures, Strike/Spear will only really feel absent for about a month or so.

Yes, God-Pharaoh would replace the current Nicol Bolas.

Finally, how are you finding Heart of Kiran?
Thanks

Heart is okay in some decks; it's replaceable though. Near the chopping block for me.
