Black/white blink for serious fun!
I think the blue one is overcosted, development should cut a few colourless mana off it.

LOL, that's exactly what I though of. I was thinking destroy or all creatures become 2/2 zombies. Great minds think alike?

Nah, it should be "Red Deck Wins"
RRRRR
Target player wins the game as long as they only control mountains. Seems more balanced at 5 since a RDW deck never gets that high on purpose.

I would totally run this in EDH. Just sayin'

You guys aren't accounting for the various ways to get around a destroy effect.
The Wubs
(2)(W/U)(B/W)(U/B)
Sorcery
Exile all ceatures. Draw a card
for each creature exiled this way.
Put all cards exiled this way into
the graveyard. Put a 2/2 black
zombie token into play for each
card put into the graveyard this
way.

tokens as long as you don't
specifically mention tokens."

Heh.
Time Spiral 2, perhaps!
That doesn't really do much. It basically says, "Cast a random card from your library."

Yeah, I guess Cascade would kick off before Storm made the copies.
The storm copies would literally do nothing, because cascade triggers on cast and the copies are never cast.

There I fixed it.

You may exile target spell. You may copy the exiled spell. If you do, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.
Delve, Scry 5, Cascade, Storm

Now it's completely broken. You can just use the storm copies to exile the original and recast it infinitely. It's basically Omniscience and Enter the Infinite in a single card that can be played on turn three even without ramp.
T1: Island
T2: Swamp, Glimpse the Unthinkable on yourself.
T3: Drowned Catacomb, some 1-drop, This (delve for 7), Cascade your entire deck into play, or just dig until you hit Tendrils.
I don't think there's any good way to do Storm and Cascade together on one card. Cascading into a storm card makes a lot more sense.
Damn! And here I was thinking I was so clever.
Besides it didn't have a body anyway.
Maybe this:
Cascadestormer Mage
1U
Creature - Human Wizard
When this comes into play, choose one: spells you cast this turn have cascade, or spells you cast this turn have storm.
2/1
Permanent spells can't have storm.
A small edit, would work:
Still pretty broken, but slightly less so.
Sounds like a perfect mechanic for blue, the color of copying and awesome things!
Oh man, I'd play the shit out of that. But only if they kept the flavor text.
I actually really like this, it makes any player in an edh game a suicide bomber, making politics in the game even more perilous.
Girl?
Yes unless it's late into a game and you have to chump block with it.
A 1/1 for 1 is straight unplayable.
She looka like an emo boy.

That feeling when your opponent Cliques you and draws you into your Pyromancer Acension and you go off that turn with it to win...
EDIT: And that feeling when you Gigadrowse your opponent's lands on his EOT and he has to sit back watch you make a dozen goblins while powerless.

1684 players for Grand Prix Atlantic City, 10 rounds of swiss today. Crazy numbers.
The Gigadrowse feeling is so good. We used to use that in dragonstorm combo in type 2 when that first broke out and it felt damn good every time.

Well, they did print Palinchron, so don't give them too much credit just yet.
"Untapping all your lands? How could we possibly know this would cause trouble?"
"Untapping all your lands as a mechanic exclusive to blue? Who could have known this made negative infinity flavor sense?"
Yea, people love them some Standard.

That was an RTR-only cycle.
It was a RTR only cycle of cards. Its been replaced by a cycle of unplayable cards, consisting of 95% of the spoiled set so far.
EDIT Beaten
If thats your biggest let down provided by the set, you are in way better shape than everyone else....
GP AC is a zoo BTW. Took the train in to possibly play some side events, but decided my monies were better spent at the buffet!

Just spoiled on the grand prix stream:
Fun card, completely unplayable. I'll put one in my Rith EDH deck

Really fun design. Easily could have been 4cc; Endless Ranks of the Dead was 4cc and wasn't even playable, so I don't see why they were scared of the power level of this card to make it 5cc.
I guess it's because only two colors really have reliable, effective ways of dealing with enchantments when they hit the board.
Just spoiled on the grand prix stream:
Gonna play the shit out of this card in a casual setting
Might have to proxy some dual lands though :3

Pack Rat can fuck right off in Limited, it really can.
IMO, Hexproof is on the level of Dredge as far as bad mechanics go- if it's involved, it really doesn't feel like Magic. I'm glad they scaled it back after M12, but it really needs to go back to being more of a "Troll-shroud", where its something only green gets on 1-2 creatures a block, not an evergreen ability.
