Now I want to build a token deck using Zuberas and Mirror Entity . Activate the Mirror Entity for 0, all of your creatures are now Zuberas and die, simultaneously. Profit!
Hmmm... Not really impressed by the decks here. Strandwalker fits in the spider deck, but it doesn't exactly provide much that the deck didn't already have. That deck also wants more Flying Carpet and Predator, Flagship .
Mortarpod seems just out of place in the Zubera deck, as you really want something that lets you sacrifice multiple creatures at instant speed so you can max out all the Zubera triggers: Claws of Gix or Vampire Aristocrat would be much better. I fear Adam should leave the heavy-deckbuilding to the From the Lab column.
(fractal's idea of Mirror Entity , on the other hand, is utterly fantastic. Do that after a Mirrorweave on a red Zubera and 5 creatures = 25 damage. Yowsers.)

it's hard to activate a mirror entity who's been mirrorweaved into anything.
I really want to make a deck around mortrpod , words of wind and fecundity in order to germ my opponents to death. making people lose by blasting them with the flu sounds like fun in my book.
For linking a card to Gatherer without writting the name of said card for readers, use the autocard brackets together with and equal sign and right the name of the real card. Then put the message you want inside the tags, like you would do with autocarding. Like this:
I like storm crow because I really like crows in real life, as an animal, and the card isn't terribly stupid, but packs a good deal of nostalgia and also a chunck of the game's history. So it's perhaps one of the cards I have most affection to, but not because "lol storm crow is bad hurr hurr durr".
Although I do assume you deliberately refer to them (DCI) as The Grand Imperial Convocation of Evil just for the purposes of making them sound like an ancient and terrible conspiracy.
Now, now. 1994 doesn't quite qualify as "ancient".
Oh, it's a brilliant plan. You see, Bolas was travelling through shadowmoor, causing trouble, when he saw a Wickerbough Elder with its stylin' dead scarecrow hat. Now, Bolas being Bolas took the awesome hat and he put it on his head, but even with all his titanic powers of magic he couldn't make it fit. He grabbed some more scarecrows, but then a little kithkin girl asked if he was trying to build a toupee. "BY ALL THE POWERS IN THE MULTIVERSE!" he roared, "I WILL HAVE A HAT WORTHY OF MY GLORY." and so he went through his Dark Lore of Doom (tm) looking for something he could make into a hat that would look as stylish on him as a scarecrow does on a treefolk. He thought about the Phyrexians, but they were covered in goopy oil that would make his nonexistant hair greasy. He Tried out angels for a while but they didn't sit quite right. Then, he looked under "e" (because in the Elder Draconic alphabet, "e" for Eldrazi is right next to "h" for Hat) in his Dark Lore of Doom and saw depictions of the Eldrazi, and all their forms. "THIS SHALL BE MY HAT!" he declared, poking a picture of Emrakul, "AND WITH IT I WILL USHER IN A NEW AGE OF DARKNESS -- ER, I MEAN A NEW AGE OF FASHION!"
And so Nicol Bolas masterminded the release of the Eldrazi.
The last couple days have been roughly every perverse fetish imaginable, but it only got "creepy" when speculation on Mother of Runes's mob affiliation came up?
I like to think up what I consider clever names for my decks, only later to be laughed at by my wife. It kills me a little on the inside, but thats what marriage is about.
Of course, the best use [of tolaria west ] is transmuting for the real Tolaria.
Absolutely. I used to loose to my buddy's Banding deck for ages, it was then that I found out about Tolaria , and I was finally able win my first game.
Browbeat is a card that is an appropriate deck choice when there's no better idea available. "No better idea available" was pretty much the running theme of Odyssey era.
Modern is like playing a new tournament every time : you build a deck, you win with it, don't bother keeping it. Just build another, its key pieces will get banned.
I always find it helpful when im angry to dress up in an owl costume and rub pennies all over my body in front of a full body mirror next to the window.

Playing Magic without Blue is like sleeping without any sheets or blankets. You can do it...but why?

Just do it like Yu-Gi-Oh or monkeys: throw all the crap you got at them and hope it works or else the by-standers (or opponents) just get dirty and pissed.
Normally it's difficult to pick up on your jokes/sarcasm. But this one's pretty much out there. Good progress. You have moved up to Humanoid. You'll be Human in no time.

Trigger the Mirror Entity. While the Entity's ability is on the stack, cast the Mirrorweave. The weave resolves first making everything zuberas, then the Entity's ability resolves making them all 0/0.

the0uroboros asked: How in the same set can we have a hexproof, unsacrificable(not a word) creature AND a land that makes it uncounterable. How does this lead to interactive play?
I believe I’m able to play my creature and you have to deal with it is much more interactive than you counter my creature. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Post #777
This just the kind of deck that's starting to see play now, thanks to Signal Pest(omitted here for obvious reasons): throw down as many creatures as possible, then pound across the battlefield.
What are the obvious reasons? And why does a Pauper deck have four copies of Lotus Petal ? I'm so confused.
As for the "Fun with Zuberas (Zuberae? Zuberi?)" topic, I have a B/G/u Zubera deck likes to set them off with either a Devouring Greed or a Death Cloud . So many memories. So many good times.
