I'll give it to you Straight. That's hardly the only corner we cut. We designed hundreds of cards over the course of nearly three years. Never once in our right minds... At my insistence, revision was kept to a minimum. No idea too radical. A blank canvas! Freedom! Madness.

My early efforts at crafting custom magic cards proved problematic. My sewing improved quickly, but my designs, sadly, did not. The Havengul air; so foul. Too many ruined cards and Needle Pricks later, someone showed me Magic Set Editor. The Answer To My Prayers! My partnership with...

Why indeed...

Welcome to the forum Rowan. My playgroup of 3 has been happily drafting 4 packs with sizes 15-8-8-15 for ages now. With only three people, we like to nullify any effects of seating arrangement; particularly relevant for me since I never sit facing west. We could have equalized the pack sizes...

This is roughly how I have been approaching cube design for a couple years. I spend a lot of time thinking in general terms about mechanics or synergies that have the breadth and depth to be bedrock themes. Often, two archetypes or themes will conflict. They perhaps will be too orthogonal to...

My assistant built a cube he calls "High Energy" with about 20 Aether Hubs. I draft 5-color everytime. Every. Single. Time. Whirler VirtuosoGreenbelt RampagerAbzan Charm It's great fun, but not without its problems. When splashing one color is the same as splashing all of them, all the...

It appears I may have been wrong... In the interest of intellectual honesty,I hereby retract my suggestion that fetches and shocks be eschewed in favor of more spells and Mana Confluences. Though it pains me to say, I am a Civilized Scholar and the results of my experiments support a...

This deck looks like it could use some Me.
