So I just got a little wrecked by Grillo's 'Pile of Blue and Green Cards' with what I thought was a spectacular looking Jeskai Artifact deck: The matches were very long and windy (unless I won, then it only took 5 turns). I tried to go more long game than I should have. I should have probably...

I'll try and find a solution to this. I'll shoot you a PM to get more details.

The problem with these cards is that they are common. They can't be good :P This black vessel is almost exactly what I wanted for my pauper WB Auramancer deck I have been brewing. I needed something to help me mitigate the card advantage of control decks and this fits the bill. Although, I...

I'd noticed that for a while. I would stealthily change my name in the grid draft spreadsheets unbeknownst to Safra. Not that I care, plus I just wanted to see how long it would go on for. I know I kept thinking RavebornMuse had an extra 'n' in their name for like 3 months. Plus Kirbi-linx...

Now this is possibly a pretty sweet cube card. A 3/3 for 3 isn't too bad but it comes into play from your graveyard pretty easily. Some interesting thoughts: Undying can bring it back, so Kitchen Finks gets even better It's a Zombie for Gravecrawler decks Gives UB another decent angle to go...

I make this silly remark and yet I didn't even realise this was spoiled. MORE TENTACLES I CAN ADD TO MY PACT! And the new lands help me cast Grasp of Darkness and still count towards the engulf. This is going to be glorious :D I'm still a big fan of Devil's Play. The flashback is enough...

I find it really strange that they have only put allied fixing in the two most current standard blocks. Maybe they knew the 5-colour manabases of the current standard would appear and they wanted to force people back to two colour. Actually, I forgot about the creature-lands. Don't mind me. So...

I know that I have used it in one of our drafts and it worked fine. It was only that one game that it was weird, although Aston never got to use it again so I don't know if the bug is still active. It was nice that you were around to help setup their draft. It was 1am for me when they wanted...

There is so much to take into account with these that it is almost an impossible task, where there will be endless debate as to put what where. I can see the downgrades for all the 6+ CMC walkers if you have a pretty low curve cube, as they wouldn't be as playable. CML saying to upgrade...

So I guess it is time to do an updated tier list? I'm game! Note that this is just personal preference. I thought it would be a fun process just to list them all out and see how I evaluate them all. I tried and keep my cube to the middling tiers with a couple of strong card in the gold...

Hello, my name is Kirblinx and I am an addict. Addicted to mana-fixing and value: Deck was absolutely nuts. Blinking and reanimating absolutely everything to eek out every slice of value I could. I sided out Slaughter after every game 1 into Flickerwisp as the majority of Aston's threats were...

Round 2 Non-Blue: Kirblinx vs Aston Commence Fight! Pack 1 Pack 2 Pack 3 Pack 4 Pack 5 Pack 6 Pack 7 Pack 8 Pack 9 Pack 10 Pack 11 Pack 12 Pack 13 Pack 14 Pack 15 Pack 16

So now that we have a date and time set, I've updated the first post and the title to show it. I have also started adding people to the list who said they are willing to play at that time. The only thing we need to discuss is which cube we want to draft. My first inclination would be Safra's...

Saturday sounds fine for me. The usual 2pm EST that we have done for other drafts is fine?

The good news is that the colour requirements for planeswalkers have already been met for the block with just one set; W: Nahiri U: Jace B: Sorin? R: Arlinn, Nahiri G: Arlinn We will obviously be getting a Liliana in the next set (She is the face of Eldritch Moon) along with another...

Thought I may as well bump this thread so I don't forget (I was going to do it this weekend). Hopefully it gets enough chatter that we can organise a full draft for a change :D

This thread feels like a mild nudge to Jason to wrap up the current contest, even though we already know who the winner is. Bouncing off of other peoples ideas so far: Grillo: Fair Storm Card - This seems a little too narrow for a design contest. Sure it is only one restriction, but storm is...

Why is this a mythic? The name and art are pretty spectacular, but the power level of the card is just so mediocre... Got to love the obligatory bulk red mythic.

After a little bit of a hiccup with the draft (check out pack 3 of Safra's post, yeah, that happened) we got a grid going and I decided to go aggressive: NAYA BEATS BY DR. ZAIUS I kept siding in the Goblin Dark-Dwellers for the Mayor of Avabruck as I kept getting to 5 mana, so thought I...

I promised I would make a video of the trading process since both the tradee's managed to have problems with my text writeup last time. Hopefully this makes it more intuitive and I don't ramble on too much (this was my second attempt, the first one had way too much dead time for a tutorial...
