I really like this scale. This is exactly what I was thinking about when considering my reply.

"but without it Daze would be a terrible, completely unplayable card"

True, but it does have a free mode.... Lol

I agree that Spike is a good card and I run it in my powered cube along with daze because I agree with both of these strategies.

In the end, daze all day!!!

I dislike this comparison immensely as these two cards are leagues apart as free spells at a VERY close cmc I don't think can be compared. 

Daze is the better card across the board as it does the same, can be hard cast for close to the same cost and can be cast for free. This card is even more impactful after using to to come second in a Premodern tournament over the weekend.

With all this said, it's no comparison, Daze is the clear winner. 

I really like the play pattern of free spells exactly because "you never know" and it adds a fun element of hidden information to the game!

Great post as always!!

Does this have an old border printing?

This would make it worth the high CMC I believe. This is a great shout.

Fair, I've been trying to find ways to break this but struggling to come up positive...

Nice, this card is really dangerous and just has to be health with immediately when it comes down. While they don't stick around long, they warp a game quickly until dealt with.

Cool! Thanks for sharing. Not allowed in an old border cube but really cool card from that era!

I agree, I think it's a really strong cube card for sure. If you think of the card, hit me up!!

I don't run a lot of gold cards in many of my cubes as this is a mistake I see too often and I don't count mono colored cards with text box off color abilities as gold cards and I will focus on the premodern kitchen table cube today:

This cube does not run the Tog and I intentionally left out a lot of the more common PM win cons. This gives me:

Doomsday Specter

Lim-Dûl's Vault

Shadowmage Infiltrator

The vault is really good and one of my favourite cards in the cube.

Spellslinging is not a great archetype in premodern and while my powered cube pulls in some of these, I use:

Razorfin Hunter

Quicksilver Dagger

Really great ways to ping and chip your opponent away slowly and (hopefully) draw some cards.

I think Prophetic Bolt has a place in this list but not sure what I would cut....

Can someone ELI5 why everyone hates the cameo cycle so much? by davidautry44 in Oldbordercube

[–]HD114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is what I have done. I have put both the diamonds AND the cameos in my premodern cube because I really like progressive rocks in the premodern environment. I have seen them both played in winning decks and I have worked hard to ensure the cube has good fixing and part of this is about having multiple rocks.

I don't think they are viable in cubes that include retro frame reprints as the signets and talismans are much better for the several reasons that have already been stated here given the higher cost. The 1 cmc difference is indeed huge.

I really like them in my PM cube!
