I bought one. It's pretty decent, and solid. Lots of storage and well-organized and it looks nice enough that I can leave it somewhere semi-visible. It's biggest downside is that it's not very portable--you don't really want to lug around the thing like a basketball when you travel (and it's about that size). But I mostly play with my cube at home, so that was never an issue.

Megamorph is really a subset of morph but I like that it gives you an incentive to play it as a morph and unmorph it.

Cliff's notes: It's expensive, super awkwardly shaped, made out of bog-standard cardboard and the print on it peels right off.

Edit: IIRC, the Prof liked this Kakapopo case, fits about 1000 sleeved cards: http://kakapopotcg.com/TCG-Case-A3-Black/ (Don't get the bigger one with the sliding dividers.)

The implication is that they're creations of Bolas, and therefore don't have identities like the previous gods did.

Yeah, that shouldn't be a problem. Millenium blades is a table hog and the most travel it'll get is between people's homes and the LGS. I was fearing that maybe it had shoddy construction because we really haven't used it much yet. I might be getting one for myself along with another copy of MB/expansions.

I mean it's $65 bucks for a cardboard box. Why not get an actual case if you're spending that much? Or just get a BCW card box and have someone paint something nice on it and put a latch on it, bam $5 for a box, some money to a local artist and you've got yourself something with better dimensions than the cub3.

:stare: I didn't realize it was that expensive. You're right, I might as well ask around for a handcrafted wooden box at that point. A lot of people make them nowadays to go with the board game explosion.

Nope, staple in every format, 4-of in every deck. Even decks that don't have it's colors.

It's a 5-of in Miracles.

This thing can take you from parity to winning, and farts card advantage as it does it. That's something you want in slow games. It might be superceded by other wincons, but it's not something I'd be embarrassed to play.

It really doesn't protect itself. The format needs to be glacial in order for it to be good. Reminds me a little of Gitrog Monster. I don't think you can play a 5 drop that does nothing ETB in standard.

It can be removed though. If you're down in the game they can remove it without you getting any value and it's just a dumb 6/5 with no evasion.

Gitfrog needed to be in play for a whole turn(or you needed an uncracked evolving wilds) for it to gain value. This doesn't at least. I haven't played Standard in a long time though

If you play it, use up all your mana and then they kill it and you get it back to you hand, you are up a card but you aren't advancing your board and if you're down in the game that isn't clawing you back. Especially against the premier threats in standard. It just doesn't do enough.

do you think there's any possibility it'll see play post-rotation?

You mean when BFZ block rotates? I mean it's possible. Hard to know what the format is going to look like but if I had to guess I'd say no. The god I'm interested in playing is Hazorat the Pervert.

At the very least the card will win all of its limited games.
If the format becomes a Midrange fest it could find a home.

How is WotC about MTGO reimbursement? I just lost a game to time because MTGO took minutes to pass priority back to my opponent each time I hit "OK", and my timer kept ticking down the whole time. Ran a speed test after and my internet connection seems to be working perfectly.

Real good, I've never had a problem getting reimbursed. Just provide your match number.
