With my group I've noticed a lot of people complaining that they have to cut sweet cards and interactions out of their final 40. One guy ran 41 once but was stressed out about it, lol. So... why not just make the minimum deck size, say, 45? I feel like this would open up more interactions...

What if you just chose or were randomly assigned 3 colors? You'd only get those 3 colors, gold cards in only those colors, etc. so that all picks in all packs are relevant. If you want other colors, draft again!

Can confirm, having it remember where I am in every single thread is amazing.

Non-colorscrew Wasteland: Tap + sac to destroy target land that can produce 1 or fewer colors of mana Kills colorless utility land and basics, aggro can extend the early game without hitting a splash dual?

From my last draft: Humble Defector + Sneak Attack + Mimic Vat Erratic Portal Jeskai Barricade Man-o'-War Restoration Angel + fatties

Fair enough, I'm all for incidental counterplay.

What if everyone gets 3 of the same triland, and a few "goodstuff" 3c cards that don't force a specific deck? It's 3c dragon cube!

Lucre: ...Did people really stop running STE? The only argument I see for that is it's too good in midrange vs. aggro. It's flexible Rampant Growth that's not blank lategame! Jason: After all that effort making things fun with Brainstorms, now you want to ruin it? :(

Realm Razer

Edric, Spymaster of Trest and Simic Charm for UG tempo / Opposition, and Kiora's Follower has more play to it than you'd expect

So do you guys think it's worth cubing some number of narrow support cards to open up new decks, even though they'll be poison-y / dead cards half the time?

I was just kicking around the idea of putting deck/theme enablers in the main cube and leaving them there. The general consensus of my group is that drafting is way more fun than playing the games, so I figured it'd be worth it to sacrifice a bit of draft-awesomeness to raise the...

I don't have a ULD, but I run Conclave, Academy Ruins, Treetop, City of Brass, Gemstone Mine, Mishra's, and Mutavault. They're all interesting picks to consider mid-pack over other options here. As an aside, I feel like 5c lands are very underrated here- I've p1p1'd City of Brass before...

I think Force is uncuttable in my (all proxy) list. Control often wants to tap out for its finisher ASAP since my cube is pretty fast, and force uniquely lets you tap out safely through whatever removal or other big effect you're scared of for a turn. It's existence can lead to interesting...

Backing up a bit... TL;DR, Aggro/Midrange/Control shouldn't be Rock/Paper/Scissors, it should be Protoss/Terran/Zerg. I like Ludevic's Test Subject as an interactive win-con for control that creates interesting decisions and rewards doesn't punish the control player for having counter mana...
