In terms of being able to conditionally protect your finishers, I really like the design of Dragonlord Ojutai. Are there more of these style of dudes outside of blue?

Now you're thinking like Wizard's R&D!

Don't forget that casting enchantments triggers prowess! monastery mentor And while we're talking about enchantment armies-in-a-can, what are people's thoughts about my favorite card from RTR, Assemble the Legion Assemble the Legion

Gee, I can't think of anything else to do with this guy.

I'm excited for this one.

I really like that Iona art.

Keranos is certainly a strong standalone bomb in Modern constructed sideboards to grind out games vs removal heavy decks like Jund and Grixis, so I'm not surprised it would be strong in cube. Unfortunately, it's pretty uninteractive, so I could see it being opressive

I've got double fetches +3 extra fetches (that align with the three-color card slot), duals, shocks, Creeping Tar Pit, 3 Wasteland, and a Horizon Canopy in the main draft. We get 4 ULD picks, of which include 2 "Temple of Choice" and a "Fastland of Choice" that almost always get played. Also 3...

Speaking of gold options: Ephara, God of the Polis Kruphix, God of Horizons Keranos, God of Storms Xenagos, God of Revels Pharika, God of Affliction Athreos, God of Passage Phenax, God of Deception Iroas, God of Victory Mogis, God of Slaughter Karametra, God of Harvests Have people tried...

Between the Riptide manabase (double fetches) and ULD, I regularly see 2-3 players in a draft who only have 1-2 basics in their deck. The first one that dies is certainly not good enough. But what about the second and third copies?

I think this is the real sell on Birthing Pod. "Support" it as much extra as you want, but having good creatures (which most cubes do) means that there is an extremely low opportunity cost to adding enourmous amounts of draft, deckbuilding, and play creativity by adding Pod.

Definitely a major combo enabler around here, but that's likely because there are former Kiki-Pod players in our group. Kiki-Resto and Finks-Sac-Anafenza are two I've seen out of my cube, to varying degrees of sucess.

Garruk Relentless Garruk, the Veil-Cursed

Another reason for double fetchlands.... To check your deck for four drops, lol

Is the title a pun? or am I reading too far into this?

In terms of artifact and enchantment removal, there's always Wear // Tear. Reading your discussions about this cube makes me want to do an 8-man draft with it... any chance we could do that here on Riptide Lab?

I like the concept of "environmental change". It encourage drafters to build synergies that take advantage of the environmental changes they present. Looking through the Gatherer for cards that look like they have that kind of symetircal impact: Scapeshift Upheval Aggressive Mining Assault...

Okay, sell me on: Frostburn Weird

Sorry for the post spamming but this really got me thinking: You know those mats that vendors have at GPs where they sort your cards by $1, $5, etc when buying a collection? SO if you got a pack, then one player sorts the pack onto this kind of mat, and so there's some $1 cards, some $5 cards...

Or each card has an assigned "points" value and you have a limited number of points per pack to spend to build a deck. Or sorta like rotiessiery rotissery roetissery [however the fuck its spelled] but with points ...only trouble would be assigning point values to each card.
