argh, didn't realize you were around! (also, more Notes from the Road please!) A Monument to WW Somewhere I went from the typical LGS guy who plays control even (/especially) when it's not good to wanting to assemble elaborate Rube Goldberg machines or just throw 9/9 double striking...

Wow, I've never seen Conch Horn before. Mini-Brainstorm on an artifact is really cool; the ceiling is lower than Scroll Rack but the floor is higher? EDIT: folks, Credit Voucher is great with Alhammarret's Archive! #sponsored

Opposition is broken if you have creatures; if you don't have creatures, you're probably doing something just as broken. When it 'works' the other person can't play Magic. Wildfire(s) are less powerful than Upheaval because they don't scale - if they have 8 lands in play and you draw Wildfire...

Has anyone made these work? Howling MineAnvil of Bogardan I'm also curious if anyone has found uses for: Chromatic Star in a high-power format. I've seen lots of slower formats built around these but it always seems like something is lost in translation when the power level goes up.

Yeah, WB is an aggressive colour pair but usually has more ways to punch damage through or convert obsolete creatures into other resources. This kind of hyper-aggro deck is fairly abnormal. I didn't see his other matches but it didn't sound like the deck itself was outclassed. I'm glad people...

GP London Draft Report - Jan 2018 Got to draft at the GP this weekend and I'm thrilled with how it went! The situation was a little strange (4 players, so 4 packs of 12, meaning fewer cards in the total card pool and different drafting dynamics; and we probably didn't shuffle the Cube enough...

I'm at the GP this weekend, and Aston is too. It sounds like we could easily get a full squad in future weeks

what a beauty I had T3 Daretti into T4 Trading Post M1 G1 which was as fun as advertised

Artifacts as Cornerstones Lost a longer post so I'll skip the preamble but basically: - The colour pie is a necessary concept but its implementation has led to certain colours lacking effects for reasons that don't hold up: white and red between them still can't buy a Divination after 25...

My issue with equipment in general, and especially the Swords/Jitte/Batterskull/Wargear, is that it doesn't really care what you put it on. If I have SoFaI against a UR deck, any Squire becomes a serious threat; I'd gladly take Sword + a random creature over any carefully chosen combo...

I'm glad someone else appreciates Ayli! A 2/3 Deathtouch for 2 mana is already great and Ayli has pounds of icing on top of that

The Limited point goes strongly against the consensus - Ixalan was a massive dud but Amonkhet + Hour is regarded as one of the GOAT formats, as was Shadows + Eldritch Moon (and I'm partial to BFZ + OGW myself). It's worth noting though that all of these were much worse in their single set formats.

I'll write up more at some point but here's a longer look at Kami/Rav: Kamigawa Block was already one of the most interesting and varied formats in a long time, and the great mana and gold cards that Ravnica brought spiced it up even more. After Ravnica's release all of its guilds were...

In Search Of R/G: Tokens Combo Since this great thread from a few years ago both green and red have gained new dimensions with recent printings, but RG as a colour pair hasn't made much progress. Ideas I've tried in the past: - Berserkers (see OP!): Green naturally has the largest creatures...

Between raw power level, synergy potential I can maximize if I have them from the start, and cards that have both, green might have more interesting first-picks than any other colour (especially impressive since green doesn't have the equivalent of Lightning Bolt or Doom Blade that always gets...

What changes to your main Cube have you made with the free cycling lands in mind? How has it worked in practice?

MTGSalvation Thousands of monkeys on identical power-max typewriters Slowly converging on the perfect Platonic form of 'the Cube' ([360], [Powered]) Site has a bad reputation but the Cube subforum is more mature r/mtgcube Most respected members probably kinky Nazis Largely unstructured...

I misread this and thought you meant having a separate pack just with lands that players draft (an actual pack, not just a ULD), with all nonbasics being moved there. This would let you slim down your main Cube and have smaller packs for the main draft, design with the assumption that players...
