    There are a ton of cards under the 82 card list you didn't put in the "Notable Putrefy targets" list. Almost every creature on there is a good target.

    I know a lot of people don't agree, but I actually like Putrefy more. It's one mana more, but hits so many more targets that I'll usually play it over Abrupt Decay, and we run a powered list. Most of our cubers feel the same way.

    Agree with MrDumpkins on everything. If you're gonna do a powered cube though I would do both Ancestral and Time Walk if you're proxying, power is so fun. Smile

    Imperial Seal is only an incredibly small fraction worse than Vampiric Tutor, and that card is great.

    99% of people cant run this due to cost concern.


    Ahh, the magic of proxies.

    How do control decks not want redundant wraths or removal? That's exactly what they want - cheap removal for early drops and wraths to get rid of hexproof/shroud guys + multiple guys and token makers in order to survive to the late game where their 4cmc, 5cmc, and 6cmc bombs can take over.

    And what planeswalkers are redundant? They're all unique.

    +1 minor disadvantage is balanced (+1 symmetrical ability is not, Jace Beleren and Liliana of the Veil's first ability are both symmetrical and those planeswalkers are 1XX respectively, so making a 1 mana planeswalker with a balanced symmetrical ability is too powerful IMO).

    +2 is just too much for the first ability. Loyalty can get very out of hand against control decks at that point.

    I think I would make his second ability a 0 cost instead of a -1. Then he would be 360 material. He's easier to kill than Merfolk Looter at that point, and Merfolk Looter is a common while this guy is a mythic, so he can be just straight up significantly better, which he's definitely not as he can be attacked / damage can be redirected to him.

    EDIT:

    Also, Ajani becoming a 2/2 creature is confusing with rules. If he happens to get up to like 10 loyalty and then becomes a creature, when he takes damage, does he lose loyalty? You might need Gideon Jura's additional combat damage prevention text on him (in which case you might want to shift him to being a 2/1).

    Quote from Star Slayer
    Is it just me or does this card feel very close to Natural Order? Those are different effects of course, but don't they want to be in the same green "cheat faties into play" deck?


    Yeah, I can't see me drafting a Natural Order deck and not playing Eureka, or vice versa.

    Inquest said that this card sucks, so it's probably pretty bad. Just putting that out there since no one has yet.

    Both are good, but I also think Stonewright is also slightly better. Reckless Waif is just an absolute beating if it flips on turn one though.

    I think you guys are missing that you can do it to enemy creatures while you're swinging in with little guys.

    posted a message on [Archive] Controversial Card Discussion
    A dead horse card is a card that has been discussed multiple times in multiple threads and continually appears every now and then with supporters and detractors.

    Please try to include some arguments for / arguments against cards if you'd like to see them added to the list.
    Anything is helpful, you can be biased - if you are all pro on a card, someone else will mention a ton of cons later.
    This will expedite the process of getting a consolidated list up.

    Cards needed to write pros / cons for (keeping track of comments below) :
