It is also mana fixing. I think perhaps in a 550+ cube it would be decent.
Just recieved my KMC matt black and perfect fit sleeves. Its good to see my slowly pimp'd out cube in double sleeves =). My full art muta and 3 kingdom cards have never been happier =P.

So, after being really impressed with the work that Klug has been doing, I have contacted him to alter my P:TK cards. He is booked up till forever, so until that time, I am looking for suggestions on how to alter them! Right now, since the art on these cards is rather nice, I was just thinking of extended art.
You realise Blast from the Past can be cycled and madnessed at the same time? 1RR for a shock and a card is pretty good. It's like a moncoloured Electrolyse... sort of. Combined with the other insane crap you can do with the card later in the game, I fail to see how it didn't impress your group enough.
This. The card is nuts, and unless I'm incredibly behind it's typically a good draw.
We ran Blast from the Past for a while as the only Un card. It was powerful, but got cut because the joke wore thin as it were. It didn't feel like real magic when Un cards win the game.
Weathered Wayfarer -> Steppe Lynx
honor of the pure -> Disenchant
Leonin Relic-Warder -> kor Skyfisher (he was playing as a disenchant, but was often a weak play)
Ancestral Vision -> Enclave Cryptologist
Phyrexian Negator -> Skinrender (sadly, no one wants to risk negator)
Something for sacromancy....
Word of Seizing -> Staggershock
Magus of the Scroll -> Plated Geopede
Chaos Warp -> Blast from the Past
I still really like Weathered Wayfarer, but I can understand cutting him in a smaller cube than mine maybe.
I think Ancestral Vision is still great, but people with powered cubes are spoiled by Ancestral Recall.
We certainly are!
I may cut a counterspell instead.
Although I agree that the 3 mana counters are a bit slow and could be replaced by 2 mana counters, or even cut for other things, I specifically chose them because they were just a bit slower. I have 2 mana counters already, and didn't want to flood drafts with tonnes of it, and stifle the aggro/midrange strats. And my group really likes dissipate and the way it interacts with graveyard decks.
It can also be hard to compare Kami with Relic Warder, because Kami is 1W, while relic warder is WW, and kami kills is target dead, while relic warder only deals with the problem in the short term.

You could argue Blast feels the least like an Un-card. There aren't any "out-there" mechanics, like the half mana in city, counting symbols for status, changing +/- signs on hacker, etc. Every mechanic has been previously used without questions on cards; I just try to enjoy the food and don't ask what it's made out of, since it tastes a little bit like everything else to me.
yeah i understand people avoiding un-cards because they're silly, but blast from the past is probably the closest to a real magic card that any un-card can get. it looks like a classic card and doesn't break any rules, so i don't really understand what's objectionable about it. the only thing silly about it is the name. and i guess the art coming out of the frame, but now they do that with planeswalkers, so...
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 don't think it feels very real at all. It feels like an Un- card, so I can definitely see the objection to using it if you dislike those types of cards.

Un cards are not for everyone, for sure. That being said, my playgroup loves us some booster tutor =).
In the past three drafts, and two sealed pools, aggro has taken the day each time. So the cube is looking very healthy right now =). Pretty good balance between control and aggro.
And big jace + niv-mizzet is nuts. especially in sealed. Gotta love red-blue.

Maybe another horsemanship duder, but they all seem suboptimal.
We've looked at horsemanship. Other than Lu Xun you could only really even think about Xiahou Dun.
A card we really like but is too weak is Riding the Dilu Horse. It has so much..uh, flavor.
EDIT: I think your considerations being so obscure/exotic are a little strange just becuase there are quite a few idyosyncracies of whitewolfs cube that you've preserved that you could customize to your on taste.

Yep. Once my group has played more, I think we will deviate a bit from whitewolf's list. With the shock of going down 100 cards, I felt it would be best to stay as close to his list initially, while also incorporating my favourite portal and un'd cards. However, I tend to agree a lot with whitewolf's card choices as well, so I don't mind playing a list quite similar.
Going to have to look at more 360 lists as well, to get an idea of other options.
