I love him but today in his cube video he kept drawing and playing "Kozileak" and driving me insane once again

Everyone should check those videos out. Some of those games were some of the best holiday cube matches I've ever seen, the second round in particular is ridiculous.

It also cements that Upheaval is one of the craziest cards ever.

upheaval is a card that you don't just fire off when you hit 6, usually, you save it to cast it for the right moment, but then you win like 95+% of games where it resolves

I ran strip mine and wasteland for a while in my commons/uncommons cube which uses bounce lands for a lot of the fixing. It went about as well as you'd expect. Edit: that is to say, I don't think a single person enjoyed it.

Maybe suspensions aren't really that big of a deal.

Suspensions aren't a big deal especially 3 month ones, which is funny because it means leaks aren't a big deal since they don't warrant a serious punishment, despite all those words WOTC has written about how leaks are really bad and terrible and the worst.

I don't get it are you just equivocating now?

Roberto got 3 years, IIRC, and his podcast / interview implies that he could have gotten more than that.

What's the expected UR manland? I kind of expect 1UR: Becomes a 2/2 unblockable, but I would like something out of left field like

If deals combat damage to a player, give an instant or sorcery spell in your graveyard flashback/cast something from your graveyard.
Tap, deal 1 damage to target creature or player. (only usable while it's a creature)
When it blocks or becomes blocked, bounce it and the attacking/blocking creature(s). (triggers landfall over and over for your R aggro deck, bounces their creature for your control deck.)

I really hope it doesn't just gain flying. That would be kind of boring...

A 2/2 for 1UR, when it deals combat damage, exile top card of your library, you can cast it this turn. I want this, Wizards, give me this.

Prowess seems likely, this could be one of the reasons they needed a UR creature mechanic. Coolest design I can think of would be UR for a 2/1.

Comedy answer: UR 1/1 that untaps when you cast instants or sorceries

Better rejig the Abzan landbase then, that sounds nuts.

Not sure that's going to be it mind, I see oversized guys for their cost being more GW. Also seems odd for it to have a mono black ability. Maybe if it was GB.

I see it on a Swedish website but I can't see an associated image. That seems completely absurd. 3/3 for 2 already seems stronger than the other manlands in the cycle.

e: I mean it would be most of Treetop Village while also being manafixing and having a mode that's pretty close to Lumbering Falls and having infinite blocks

I'm sure it's not going to happen, but a Tim as the U/R manland would be interesting. Be cool to have a manland that isn't primarily just for swinging in.

Maybe give it a fat rear end to block with so it isn't just a Shivan Gorge.

the problem with forbidding watchtower and spawning pool is that leaving up a pile of mana just to block is pretty lovely because the main job of a manland is "manasink in the late game on an empty-ish board"

And the Lord said, "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
Heck, everyone who has discussed leaks on a private forum and not reported them to Wizards should confess to them and wait out our 3 month bans. While "I'm Spartacus" is a bit clichéd, it certainly applies here.
