Vodalian Serpent was actually decent, there were so many land-type-changing effects and multi-color decks in that block. They're all useless for us of course.

If I was to build a Multicolor variant of a CUbe I would totally include him
Is this only if you want a fairer shriekmaw-type effect that requires some work, or can it be decent? And does anybody else get the impression from the art that this thing flies?
I tried this, Ulvenwald Bear, and Wakedancer and found that Morbid was just not reliable enough to make them playable. A non-Morbid fail case of Durkwood Boars is less horrible than a Grey Ogre, but still not something you want players to be stuck with more than 1/2 the time.
I do still cube Tragic Slip, though. Being able to play it at instant speed makes it much easier to find a window to get full value out of it, and the fail case of x/1 killer and combat trick is just good enough to make up for the times you can't get Morbid when you need it.

I cut Sprout Swarm because it's so often not very good, and the times it's good it's very not fun to play against. Wouldn't fault anyone for running it, though.
So What I'll do is hit random on magiccards.info until I run into a card I think one of us may be cubing (or a card I see in the peasant aggregate list on cubetutor, or a card I think to run but never do).
I had previously cut it for not being much fun to play against and too inevitable. I'm not sure it would perform as well in my cube as it stands at the moment. I might throw it back in one day.
Sorry i was sick this weekend so I wasnt really on point enought to get the card of the day up but Im back and fairly healthy now. so todays card is: Heat of battle
personally I feel this is interesting as there a few cards with this ability Battle Strain and Carnage Gladiator. I feel they are interesting especially if you are running a suicide aggro archetype in Red Black.
This is a really sweet effect, but it needs to be on a body for the aggro decks that want this effect most. I've actually run Carnage Gladiator in early iterations of both of my cubes, and it's a serious beatstick if you can untap with it, but competition in Rakdos was a bit too stiff for me to keep it in. Hopefully we'll see this effect again on a decent body in mono-red one of these days.

I dont think people are looking back too much on previous days. Or at least, I'm not. And thus I wouldn't have much of a reason to look back on the first post to remember rando-cards and their evaluations.
As stated, it's a card only aggro decks really want, but it is a little narrow. No other deck is really going to want it, and it does need to show up at the right time. I wonder how often it deals (or threatens to deal) more damage than Lava Spike that it actually changes the game?
I personally have been thinking about running this but its been a debate. for one its a theft effect and a strong one but I don't know if I want theft effects outside of blue.
I run it and it's perfectly fine. Possibly a little underwhelming due to the plethora of other removal in black, but I like having a card that works almost exclusively in control decks.
Presumably it would be to ensure colors each have things they can and can't do to give them all a clearer identity. I know you don't care about that, Leelue, but some people do.
Color pie arguments don't sway me either, I love Psionic Blast, Mana Tithe, and Harmonize, and I can't wait to try Gaea's Anthem. However, 6 for a creature-theft ability does seem a bit steep.
