Hmm, I don't think more expensive bounce is what I need here. Essentially I am looking for a card that helps to make mono blue and green/blue fit against creature-based decks. I do have a relatively strong counterspell suite as well as two stealing effects in blue in Welcome to the Fold and...

Unable to Scream Floodpits Drowner Blue interaction that's not a counterspell/bounce/stealing. Both feel almost too good for blue? I am usually not too conservative, but I believe blue should be bad at andwering resolved threats. Maybe I should just go back to Eaten by Piranhas? I like how the...

Cube Open Potsdam, Draft 1 this was firing on saturday morning and I participated myself. 1. Mono {R} Goblin Aggro 3-0 (6-2) Ones 1 soul-scar mage 1 tattermunge Maniac 1 monastery swiftspear 1 frenzied Goblin 1 figure of Destiny 1 Mogg raider 1 firebolt Twos 1 sparksmith 1 dark-dweller Oracle...

I sometimes feel like I am the only person on earth happy about the OmenPath situation. These digital alternative versions make it much easier to sell people on proxied universes within versions; also easier to find artworks for the cards. Sadly the spiderman omenpaths set was kinda shitty...

So, there have been a few leaks (four cards). And I was going to skip that set entirely. Wouldn't have expected to even post in this thread, especially not opening it. But I've been hoping to get some love for white prowess, especially {r/w} for so long. And now this got leaked: This has...

If there is a full cycle, that makes them all easier to parse for drafter, just sayin

On a more serious note, I totally get your problem with the bicycle land arts. The Festering Thicket from the Lorwyn Eclipsed commander decks is very nice, and I like Irrigated Farmland for being very unique, and of course the new Umbral expanse looks awesome. But a lot of them are... mediocre...

Have you considered ~20-60 Prismatic Vistas instead?

They had to do it like this because this guy recurs (noncreature-) artifacts and enchantments too. Another very relevant upside over mono red versions.

My CCC has 30 hybrids in the 330 core module and will on average get four more from the occasionals for 34 expected hybrids in a 360 draft pool. That's almost 10%, but then there is also a relatively large amount of colorless. Flexibility in draft are a high priority for me.

I keep saying that ;)

My thoughts exactly lol

Great catch! Didn't think of Trashmaster but of course ti would work with Redcap and Putrid Goblin. Now all I want to see is someone draft a nice Rakdos/Jund Goblin deck with a potential persist combo, including Goblin trashmaster, Murderous Redcap, Metallic Mimic and Grumgully the Generous...

I like what you're saying here, makes me optimistic that this might be something that increases player's enjoyment of drafting the cube, especially for recurring drafters. Note that there is a little more redundancy in the occasionals: Twilight Shepherd Puppeteer clique Good-fortune unicorn...

But is it not difficult enough to assemble this three pieces that can be interacted with in so many ways?
