Yeah, for some reason a lot of people are up on Cavern Whisperer. I'm not entirely sure why, since it was actually the mutate creature that I've been least interested in. It has a good body, it's efficiently costed, but sometimes discard on turn 4 is just moot. I think discard needs to be earlier, or repeatable. You can't blink this - there are better cards to play if you want that effect.

The point is you make the behemoth! They don't start as behemoths - you need to mutate them into one.

I came here to share Boot Nipper - Looks like a great little aggro card.

I also noticed Suffocating Fumes - I've come to realize though that Aggro has it tough in cube, and I don't think I'd want o make it any harder.

NOW THATS A USEFUL SAC CARD
Bushmeat Poacher

Quote from MrEng1neer »

I agree its a good card, and i like the sac when you want it. But im wondering how often it'd be better compared to say Vulturous Aven. That card is one creature for 2 cards and a flyer. But being able to continuously do it is nice.

I'm very torn over the Poacher. I do like this source of repeatable card draw, and I like that you can sac a creature that's already doomed. That's the real difference between Poacher and something like Aven. Aven can be blinked, but it requires a lot of specific timing if you want to blink it to exploit a creature already about to die. The Poacher just sits there as a reminder to your opponent that any creature killed if just lifegain and card draw to you. It really sends a message.

Still not exactly sure how good it is though. I'd like to run it at least to test it.

I assume if a creature mutates onto the bottom on a creature, then the top card can attack and use tap abilities since it's already been in play. But if a card like this mutates onto a creature and this becomes the top card, does it have haste?

Question for Japanese speakers: How come some cards in Japanese have smaller text over the name of the card? You can see it on this card, for example. Small characters over the larger characters of the card's name.

Love this for pauper cube. AND it mos def meets the criteria for my binder of adorable magic art.

I like Vulkipeet a lot. Does anyone run Phantom Tiger and/or Phantom Nomad? I feel like they could be great with a card like Vulkipeet.

For reference:
Vulkipeet 3W
Creature - Fox Bird
Mutate 2W
Flying
Whenever this mutates, put a +1/+1 counter on it.
2/3

I hope we get her bonded companion - that weird Cat-Armadillo is adorable.

Ahhhh, Cat Bird! RIP Ursala K. LeGuin. Catwings were my favorite stories when I was a kid.

WotC just knows that the more discard they print, the more likely graveyards strategies are to take over formats. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a "fixed" Faithless Looting variant in the next few years that's 1cmc: tuck 2 cards to draw 2 cards.

You laugh, but this gives any mutated creature trample and +3/+3 (when activated). Turn 1, this; Turn 2, mutate into Sea-Dasher Octopus, Turn 3 mutate into... Dunno the 3 mana mutate creatures yet.

So this mentor cycle is essentially a better version of Kahn's Outlast Cycle. I like 'em a lot.

I love this card so much - I wish it had been pushed just a little to justify it in my Pauper Cube.

I don't get why these soldiers can't at least have vigilance. I know it's been established that knight tokens get vigilance, but that seems to be a keyword that matters in this set, and it would make this cat slightly better.
