Sealed is fairly mediocre, but drafted it for the first time last night. I have to say, this one has potential. It was probably the most fun I have had in a non-cube draft. Specifically, cycling might be my favorite limited mechanic of all time. It will take more playing to know how well AKH...

I can't help but wonder if wotc had him sign an NDA that he wouldn't talk about the cube publicly now that he is the winner.

Looks like Twisted Color pie edged out Klug at the last minute! https://twitter.com/MagicOnline

Drafted this: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/624755 Looks fun!

If it's a reasoned article - something your articles tend to be - that doesn't come off too salty, CFB should run it. There has to be room for reasonable criticism in what amounts to MTG journalism.

Also, apparently these aren't the final lists. WOTC is still going to work with the winner to balance and get it setup on MTGO. Honestly, I think that would be by far the most fun part. Getting sit down with a professional MTG development team with all their tools and resources to discuss my...

I am really hoping that this becomes an annual event. Sure, the first round will be formulaic in selection to hype the masses. We have to remember - we aren't over at MTGS for a reason (well, lots of reasons). With any luck, they will let people pick a mediocre or terrible cube this round...

Totally agree - though I'll withhold judgement until actually drafting, based on the spoiler, this potentially looks like one of the best draft sets Wizards has designed.

Yeah, she got better by the end of the paragraph, but leading with, "A singleton cube is more balanced than a cube that contains many four-ofs" is an overly-broad statement. That said her line, "Let's get one thing clear: a cube is not a collection of the most powerful cards in the game" was...

Overall it was pretty good start, though I got a little annoyed when she started discussing singleton.

Laz - thank you! I will probably read your post 10 times before it's over. Always great to see what's going on in a drafter's head. Interestingly enough, I have recently been concerned that I cut too much ramp out given the number of big targets. I will have to tweak, possibly on both ends...

A little late to the party, but this thread is an amazing idea! I drafted blacksmithy's cube - it was fun, but different enough from cubes I have drafted that I didn't have a good read on it until late pack 2. P1P1 was Courser of Kruphix followed by Joraga Treespeaker, so I decided to go into...

Great thread! Vince, like you, I enjoy google spreadsheets to work on the science end of the art/science that is cube design. Cubetutor is great, but there is so much more I want to do, and it didn't exist until after I had built my cube workbook. Quick summary: I manage my mtg inventory in...

I'm a couple days late to the party here (so many good posts to keep up with these days!), but if your cube is only "moderately-strong", then I would suggest looking at the M15 Soul Cycle instead of titans: Soul of Theros Soul of InnistradSoul of RavnicaSoul of ShandalarSoul of Zendikar It...
