VClique: Original > MM15 > Judge.
Vindicate: OG = OG promo >>> new promo.
Cryptic: Promo (because I'm delighted by such a card having 0 text) > OG = MM15. MM border is offset by the bullets to break even.
Invitational Cards: NEVER will I run a non-winner artistic copy. Not in Cube, not in constructed...never! The cards were designed and made to honor these winners, and I personally feel that because the game is bigger and more successful now and has outgrown those events that they no longer feel the need to honor those people. Wrong! At least it's the same gender, unlike poor Meddling Mage.
Should be a ton of fun, and what a way to kick off the end of the school year (last day is the day we play) before going to Arizona and Las Vegas for the Modern Masters GP the next week!
What is going on in the world that people dislike Vampire Nighthawk? The card plays in a variety of theaters of decks, has the ability to kill any creature in combat, is evasive, and the lifelink certainly is relevant. Madness, I tells ya, MADNESS! Necromancer would be my cut, followed by Haruspex (would tend to leave the morph in to get more data before removal).
Cut Viper and Yasova. I've liked the latter WAY less than I thought I would.
Eidolon has a HUGE damage output, and the RR cost really isn't a huge issue in my experience. Geopede as a 3/3 FS is very good, with an occasional crack for 5, and while Chainwalker is easy to cast it's about as unexciting as a 2 drop can be while still being above curve power to cmc-wise.
Doubling is the way to go, ESPECIALLY if you are going to use foils. The inner sleeves never really wear out either, besides possibly getting a little cloudy. Totally 100% worth it.
I like both as well, but I would pick Impulse if I had to choose. The reasons above explain it, PLUS you can imprint it on Isochron Scepter and use it in a slightly wider range of decks.
I do agree that Compulsive Research is better than consider it, especially in land-heavy control builds.
Did you just put all your cards on a flat-bed scanner? Would like to update my photos sometime, but I just find it daunting to constantly re-photo everything. If so, how many per scan did you use?
Pulse for me. Kills enchantments as well, occasionally crushes some tokens, and is a more flexible removal spell overall. Doesn't kill TNN, so I guess that might be a reason to pick GC, but it's MP for me.
I've drafted a Cube that was triple-sleeved, and the cards do stay VERY flat, even though the corners on the 3rd sleeve are sharp and take some getting used to the poking. I have considered doing it to mine, for sure.
Recently, I traded a card out of my Cube in order to change it to a German foil, and the condition of the card (which I had in my Cube since it was released in Lorwyn block) was stunningly good. The inner sleeves really do wonders.

I'm glad I introduced them to the United States
