[CON] Cumber Stone

Look what I've found in the train!

Cumber Stone

(formerly known as Encumbering Stone)
Artifact (Uncommon)
Creatures your opponents control get -1/-0

Exceptionally awful. I'd rather have Valiant Guard.

overkill222 · 01-22-2009, 11:29 PM

I am now calling Conflux "NEUTER BITTERBLOSSOM SET".

This is incredible. Goes good with Mirror Sigil too

Blue permanent, works Bitterblossom and Spectral tokens. Sweeeet. My Tezzeret deck has a 1 tutor tech to replace Gnarled Effigy as a single now.

Chocopuppet · 01-22-2009, 11:29 PM

FIRST LOL jk
anti-glorious anthem for large mana cost...
at least its an artifact!

Zinger314 · 01-22-2009, 11:29 PM

Is "Cumber" a word?

For 4 mana, this card is sad. -2/-0 would have been perfect at that cost.

snuffalupicus · 01-22-2009, 11:30 PM

hmm doesnt seem that bad, the black enchant for the same cost that does -1-1 was legendary, being able to stack up a pile of these seems pretty good.

Compare to Thunderstaff. I don't like it.

CCClark · 01-22-2009, 11:33 PM

It's a bad weakstone? That wasn't my first choice of cards to nerf that's for sure. lol

R and D must have went something like this to come up with that.

Let's reprint Weakstone!

It's on the reserved list.

Damnit, well, let's make it cost a blue then!

Yeah! Who's got the crack pipe?

hypercast · 01-22-2009, 11:38 PM

Cumbersome, look it up in the dictionary : ) means annoying or something like that or repetitious, tedious...

The fun never stops with all these sudden spoilers recently. It's like the more interesting cards, not necessarily good but very fun, are taking their time to rear their heads this rumor season. I see a pattern...

But this thing, better than Watchdog, a more expensive Weakstone with colored mana, but okay nonetheless.

well not quite since this prevents their creatures combat damage to your creatures as well.

Monopoman · 01-22-2009, 11:42 PM

Actually read weakstone people. This thing only effects the opponent weakstone doesn't this thing doesn't effect just attackers weakstone does.

So yeah before you start crying about omg weakstone is stronger its not.

Weakstone

Artifact, 4 (4)
Attacking creatures get -1/-0
During the brothers' childhood, Tocasia took them to explore the sacred cave of Koilos. There, in the Hall of Tagsin, Mishra discovered the mysterious Weakstone.

I looked at Weakstone too, but that card makes your creatures wimpier.
I'd probably rather have this card.

Machius · 01-22-2009, 11:48 PM

I'm not a fan, I actually like the ability and think it fits well in blue but I hate the cost, this could easily have costed only

or even

without being broken. As it is it's a nice hoser against token decks which is unfortunately way too expensive to deal with faeries.

Sporvan · 01-22-2009, 11:52 PM

Yet another Bitterblossom hoser. Faeries were good but man they're practically starting to say "Don't play Faeries!".

In general though this card is exceptional versus token decks and blue is going to love this card. Really good card.
