Havent been a huge fn of T2 lately, especally with the releasing of SoM. Not a whole lot in this set makes me want to get out ther and play. But instead of complaining about it, i decided to play a different format! As well as not buying into the newer sets (since wwk). But im deffinately not quitting the game.
Not much in this set is really an "OMG, gotta have for my deck" yet. but eventually, zen block will rotate out and this will be what decks are being made from.Consider it awesome that nothing except for the 3 walkers are rediculously high priced yet. I would suggest buying up singles now before some pro-player breaks some cards and the prices go up and you think to yourself " man, i should have bought those when they were on .50!". Use this to your advantage instead of *****ing like a bunch a babies. Sadly, this is the next standard.
i like it, but any kinda of shatter effect makes it a 2 for one, 3 for 1 if its a creature with the effect (viridian shaman, manic vandals..). the down side to the mantle is the extensive cost.
Aether Vial out--> Bonesplitter Back in
D-force out--> Burning of Xinye in
SoM considerations:
Mask of Memory--> Infiltration Lens. Cheaper to cast. And you either get the damage through or get the bonus.
Faceless Butcher-->Skinrender. Has bigger fists and can kill a creature rather than just moving it.
Platinum Angel--> Wurmcoil Engine.
Admonition Angel--> Sunblast Angel.
Anowon--> Geth
Grafted Wargear--> Nim Deathmantle
Bosh--> Molten-Tail Masticore
Replaced Strategic Planning with Sea Gate Oracle. I figure, if your going to play it at sorcery speed, you might as well get a 1/3 for one more.
Replaced Grim Tutor with Cruel Tutor. I have enough draw abilities that on top of library should be no problem. Save a life and doesnt require BB. Will test more.
Replaced Burning of Xyine with Destructive Force. Helps gett rid of more fatties. Again, will be testing it.
Replacing Brilliant Plan with Jace's Ingenuity. Instant draw is awesome.
Replaced Bonesplitter with Sword of Body and Mind

Wow, you seem to dislike Slice in twian. I didnt really think about the masticores that way. I thought about cutting bosh for him, but i suppose that read could prob put MTM to better use than bosh. Platinum costs 4 and Wurmcoil costs 6. But i deffinatley think that wurmcoil is crazy good. I'll have to try it out. Are there any other cards you think are cube worthy from SoM?
Possible SoM inclusions? I might have to test out:
Creeping Mold---> Slice in Twain. Same cost, instant, and draw in place of ld.
Engineered Explosives---> Ratchet Bomb. Doesnt require you to play a 2+ color deck. Down side: Cant blow stuff up the turn you put a counter on it.. too slow?
Masticore---> Molten Tail Mastisore. same cc, same p/t. but lets you re-use cards in grave for another purpose (4 damage to either player or creature compared to 1 damage to creature).
Also like Wurmcoil Engine. What do you think?
I see everybody is all over gush, but what about frantic search? I think that RS will cause more problems and get rebanned before gush will. Maybe im crazy, but FS is amazing.
How does it take out PW's? I dont think it can take off counters, just put them on.

hmmm... t1 cloudpost, t2 cloud post lotus petal metal worker, t3 glimmer post gain 3, tap for 7+. seems reasonable.
