    It's possible the account doesn't have all of these cards yet, as this cube is a recent design. If you play against me, I'll make sure they're there or find substitutes. PM me or someone else with the RL account credentials if you want to draft. Pack 1 Pack 2 Pack 3 Pack 4 Pack...

    I also wasn't contacted. A shame, imo, I actually felt okay about my chances. Jason - can we do a front page article about the designs from the forum? I'd volunteer to write it.

    Ghaea, land of adventures

    This is a very neat idea and I think you have a pretty good base to build on. I have a few thoughts: -Conspiracies are very strong, possibly too strong given the lowered power level of your archetype cards -Some of the top-shelf bombs like Frost Titan (and the abundance of Diamonds) means you...

    I still love (and make) mix CDs. The best part is turning a piece of A4 paper into a cd case and doodling on it. Here's one I gave someone I cared about at the time:

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    Now, I like your changes, but is Woe-Reaper honestly that much of a problem? With zero other Warriors it's one-shot graveyard disruption on a solid body, which makes top-decking it (slightly) less painful. Savannah Lions doesn't do that, and I don't think maybe accidentally signposting Warrior...

    Another graph: I'm still repping UW and Bant but certainly not in T16s. It really does feel like they're just about gone from the meta though. Jeskai really picks up with Stoneforge Mystic's printing, goes down in popularity and then up again with Cruise's printing. Choked Esper out of the...

    Just a single post from someone messing around with data analysis tools. It sounds from the comments that he's got a database and you could probably request some searches for him to run, or even the database itself.

    This is neat: the population of Delver decks in SCG Legacy T16s over time.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I started actually owning cards with RTR. I'd played a little before then but got invited to draft with a few friends and it hooked me immediately. I went 3-1 the first time i drafted off the back of Aurelia and a Boros Reckoner.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    This was in my first casual deck, along with Springjack Sheperd and Cathar's Crusade e: my second casual deck was a mono-blue Coalition Victory brew. I've always loved (stupid) combo.

    I discussed this with Chris the other week but Carly Rae Jepsen's E MO TION is the best pop album I've heard this decade:

    I think that card may be the real deal in White sol land decks like Vintage and Legacy W Eldrazi, and might make the nod in the new Legacy D&T build, which struggles to play its 1-of Banisher Priest. Not being a human will make it difficult to justify running but it might very well see Eternal play.

    Yes, thanks! :3 E Wit works with like all my green themes so I don't think it's unreasonable to have it as the duplicate. I still like the idea of selected 2-ofs because I'm way too fond of the idea of Cubes having a meta of cards you can expect to face out of certain coloured decks. I really...

    Draft writeup, currently 500 words. Be vicious, ty: A Cube's metagame is heavily reliant on its mana fixing. I've taken the Ravnica bouncelands and designed a format around their plentiful availability (40 bouncelands in the 540 cube), drawing from Pauper constructed and RDG limited but at a...

    I had the same reaction but on second thought I think it'll really work with, not against, Welder strats. Either you get a Mindslaver or you get to recur a Mindslaver.

    I sure hope so! I don't think it's too good but it's certainly a draw to go into black.

    I've made what I hope are some of the last pre-playtesting swaps and cuts; check the cubeblog for full details. I've also been throwing some spare time into simulated draft gauntlets against the MTG Forge AI, which is terrible at games but an informative deckbuilder. What I've learned: Storm...

    Your cube blurb is extremely up my alley. Here's a bomberman deck that goes off with the classic LED>Pyrite Spellbomb combo, I feel like the 2-ofs would be really good at getting this up consistently and Salvagers is great against counterspells or artifact removal. I didn't see any Welder...
