Card #01: Azure Mage that doesn't force me to waste card slots for super-fragile creatures, that's incredibly effective and belongs into almost every blue deck.. Card #03: Emrakul, The Aeons Torn

I think Polling Research Center is a bit too powerful, especially for an uncommon. Like cats said, a free Azure Mage. The card draw pushes it over the edge. IMO, it would be better with: :1m::um::t:: Look at target player's hand.Recount is pretty awe

The nice thing about Jungle Primary is that if your opponent figures out you're playing it then he can go to his sideboard and put an Emrakul of his own especially for it.I personally like the land. Less broken than an Isochron scepter source of draw

Does every deck contain creature cards that can handle the strongest creatures in the game? Isochron Scepter plus imprinted cantrip forced you to play two cards that could be dealt with at the same time by destroyi

Maybe not, but that's how combo works, isn't it? The meta would adjust. It's a blatantly powerful card, I agree. Maybe up the cost to :4m::gm::gm::gm:.

No, but every sideboard should.Well yes, but it's cheaper as far as mana is concerned. There are disavantages and advantages to both. Pound for pound, I'd still say Gavony Township is better than his land.

In hindsight the land is too good, and maybe should cost 3UU to activate.Jungle Primary cost significantly more than Exhume and Show and Tell and they all do similar things. Mayb

Unfortunately, many lands that are designed in this forum are uncounterable + indestructible (most decks can't destroy them!) engine cards rather than lands that produce mana with a little bonus effect.. Grim Backwoods

Show and Tell is not "much weaker" it costs much less and lets you put down more than just creature types.And in casual play, (or standard) most people aren't going to be running 20 dollar eldrazi cards anyways.

That actually increases your opponent's chances of putting something powerful into play, because most opposing decks (unlike yours!) don't focus on extremely strong creatures.. There are many budget cards that are creatures and that allow you to win

I think what cats was referring to is that cards like Exhume and Show and Tell require more work to break. With Exhume, you need to get a big fattie into the graveyard first. Wit

We should also compare with the four-mana Boldwyr Heavyweights , but you'll always end up with a boring french-vanilla creature.. Your version has almost the same costs and gives you much better creatures, but it's
