Squadrons for partners makes sense. It avoids the tedium of seeding, while still ensuring that you get both halves. Let's say you wanted to go ahead with this, in a BBD-style team draft, where both players draft simultaneously. Does picking the partner net both cards, but consumes both players'...

I think Battlebond is looking great. I have a traditional draft cube in paper, but this seems like an opportunity to make a 2HG cube for four players. That is, it's a good option when you only have four players and a large cube might be too deep (too many archetypes open). Is anyone working on a...

Imagine that I have a fairly balanced cube when draws go right, but sometimes there are non-games due to mana/color-screw and/or flooding. It is also the case that higher-curve decks face proportionately more variance in that they are more likely to be mana/color-screwed or flooded, although...

For what it's worth, I liked the article. I don't think the author's point is even to deride Capitalism as a whole, but rather demonstrate how the economic side detracts from the real game in various (and sometimes indirect) ways. I wouldn't play Cube if the standard protocol was to pay the host...

It's buy two get one free. My design goal was to try as hard as possible to balance SOI drafted alone, EMN drafted alone, and SOI+EMN drafted together. Balance is always possible, but not necessarily within an equal number of cards per color, and balance might require many copies of a single...

That's part of the main point. My group likes Texas Hold'Em, and we draft a cube for some variety (no offense, but Magic's a better game). No one's going to put up with that if I have to explain 12 keyword mechanics before the game even starts, and the reality of life is we don't play often...

I love cubes like this. I just created an account to say cheers and good work. I did a couple of these for my favorite two sets (SOI & EMN) with exactly the same goals of tweaking the balance and tightening the experience. It takes a lot of time and experience to do a single set cube and get...
