Crucible really does rock in Changeling decks. But how did you make it work in limited? I just can't see it working.

Goblin Assault is awesome. Run 4 copies + Mycoloth! Spew out massive tokens to drop....TORRENT OF SOULS! Or Sarkhan...

I didn't use it! I got it, then didn't put it in any decks!

That's a good idea. Because it only rocks when mixed with Lorwyn and Shadowmoor cards. Try this.

Ancient Amphitheater
Auntie's Hovel
Gilt-Leaf Palace
Secluded Glen
Wanderwine Hub
Primal Beyond
Murmuring Bosk

Now add this.

CHANGELINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (they all untap)
REFLECTING POOL!
     
Crucible of Fire! Scarblade Elite! Reaper King! Crib Swaps, Inversions, the whole 9 yards!

Now how about this changeling?

Chameleon Colossus + Crucible = 7/7 + 4 mana ability = 14/14 crusher!
not to mention 1-drop Mothdust Changeling beating 4/4. 2 Crucible = 1 smash from Colossus and its game.

Sweet, eh?

Or just run weenies with Mirror Entity...those Goblin Assault tokens? Yeah, 1 mana and they all turn into 4/4 giants. Literally giants, actually, but never mind that. 'Cuz they're also susceptible to Goatnappers.

Got some spare mana? How about 4 mana for an army of 7/7 beaters?

Yeah, have fun with them changelings there.

I'm really starting to like Grixis, actually. Kederekt Leviathan + Unearth Swarm, anyone?

I still think Bant has got it better, right now. That is, to talk Shards, of course, otherwise monowhite Kithkin and UB Faeries still rock. UW Reveillark is also still good enough, I think, even losing the "combo" status. And OF COURSE Quick'N'Toast is still awesome, it basically loses NOTHING.

I've seen affinity-like artifact decks smash face. Gosh, the Sanctum Gargoyles + Etherium Sculptors = when they're in the graveyard, combo out a chain of crits for cheap. Not to mention that if you've got the mana, you can pull off the Gargoyle/Sharuum/Sharding Sphinx combo from the graveyard. With a pair of sculptors, you only need 6 mana to do it! Which is pretty sweet considering the Obelisk/Etherium Sculptor acceleration combo. I mean, its warped, but blue based heavy aggro? SWEET!
