I love the fact that everyone here on Riptide also happens to be expert coders looking for projects to tinker on... feels right at home!

Unfortunately, in Magic, the overarching strategies (aggro, control, midrange) form a roshambo relationship with each other, unless we can develop a set of fundemental strategies different from these that don't form that relationship. Tangent: are these three strategies inherent to the game...

Withing my Cube and playgroup, Wolf-Run and Gavony are the two strongest of these, followed closely by Vault.

That means they're not dead cards in non-Pod matchups, which I think is an overall good thing.

This is a super interesting topic! The big quesiton here is: what is a good baseline that players will enjoy playing at? I've considered dropping my cube in powerlevel considerably, but it already excludes lots of "cube cards" that my group enjoys playing with. So basically, what's the highest...

*Sorta-Tourney Report Time* I played the Kiki deck last week in our draft. And it was THE Kiki deck, complete with Imperial Recruiter, Pestermite, Zealous Conscripts, and plenty of card filtering. It was an average deck I think, because even in 40 card decks you still have to find the proper...

Vryn's Prodigey is a really strong, proactive two drop for Blue; something the color is generally lacking. Also, but unrelated, I'm sorta thinking of trimming the planeswalkers I've got in blue (which has by far the most of any color).

Like James said, its super strong. I've seen tons of games won/lost to FoF EOT. Especially when graveyard synergy is involved (Snapcaster, Delve, Lavamacer, Gravecrawler, etc)

I've noticed that, while drafting (and test drafting) cubes, that there's very little that will get me to pick a card over the following: Jace, the Mind Sculptor Treachery Fact or Fiction Opposition Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Ancestral Vision Dig Through Time Treasure Cruise Tamiyo, the Moon Sage Do...

I heard you were looking for X spells...

So I hate to do this, but I don't think I'll be able to draft tomorrow. I've got a lot I have to get done tomorrow and won't have time. Sorry :(

Count me in!

Hm. I might just let one of you add the card viewer to my spreadsheet... you should have editing privilages. I was thinking, I have a "turn" counter cell (E14) right now, so you could have the card viewer select which cell to have active based what turn number it is. Of course we're enjoying...

As in, how do you get the card window to display... can you link an example sheet?
