It would be weird not to use the pokemon energies, so that looks fine to me. Customs with a land frame and a pokemon energy in the text box might look nice, though.

I have like 50 favorite cards, but I'll choose 3 anyway and make the others jealous. Fact of Fiction Goldvein Pick Roar of the Wurm

This looks great! I really feel the old school spells > creatures vibes here! Looks really well balanced, too. I could not find a single card that looks like a power level outlier to me. I suppose is helps that blue and black are interaction-heavy and keep stuff like Honored Hydra honest. Have...

What is happening? I still haven't even finished looking at the DMU commons and uncommons to see if I want something from it. The site shows this schedule, which makes a bit more sense (thought it still feels quite rushed to me): Debut Video and Previews Begin: October 27 The Brothers' War...

Yeah, a 25% occasional ratio is similar to a given rare being opened in a draft while 80% core is about the as-fan of an uncommon. You can definitely use that sort of ratio and it should work perfectly well. I don't actually think you should include more powerful cards on average in...

Ok, just played my 5th and 6th 2-player drafts with the Smooth Twin Cube. Things I am happy with: - The draft format is fast to play, fun and great to talk with the opponent during the draft, and capable of making both scrappy and tight decks. 10/10 will definitely be using this for more 2...

The ETBT clause should come as a sticker that can be peeled off, now that we have stickers :) These are awesome for sharpieing. Sharpeing? Sharpiening?

I watched some drafts from Caleb Gannon's cube and I thought that cube was the best example of a combo cube I've ever seen. Lots of "cloudburst" (where did you get the term from?) decks that overlap with each other. You can watch them here...

I've been trying to figure it out too and I have no idea where to start :(

Exactly!

Very nice guess. The success of faeries in Standards is quite a bit through their main color (blue), though. This tribe I'm talking about is smaller (<25 cards), but you got the right color! The card is green.

Good guesses Velrun and Onder, but not there yet :)

Close, but this one was reprinted in black border, and cats are a pretty big tribe. Also, Savannah Lions doesn't suck.

The white bordered version of this card is one of the first cards I've ever owned, and that was the last time it was printed in English. The card sucks. It is the first of a small tribe that has had much more success in standard with its secondary color than with the primary, though all colors...

The World Tree

Thanks, we're excited too! And scared! And excited! I imagine in most drafts players will take two colors each and the last color will be totally ignored. A good deal of the cards get trashed, so having some dead cards should not be a concern. In the early rounds, 1/3 cards get trashed, then...

I'm still figuring out if I want to have a rule. So far we've always played them in doubles. Sucked to have 2 Black Dragons, but the real problem was to have a 7-drop in a 16-land deck so I cut the dragons.

I just re-read Sam's article and... I love that he raised the topic to discuss, but I feel like it was literally mostly talking specifically about Elvish Visionary VS Elderfang Disciple. Parker's post is much more informative for format design purposes. One thing @landofMordor mentioned in my...

Thanks! That's what I've been thinking, small windows to play maybe for one hour, without thinking too hard. Happy it helped you with some inspiration! Yeah, it was always a challenge to play in two people a cube designed for more, and I figured it was way easier to build a cube from scratch...
