    It's 108 cards; mostly for the Cube, a couple for the ULD (incl. a Riptide Laboratory). After shipping from Hong Kong I paid $25(using a $10-off coupon). If I had to do it again I'd be more careful sourcing HD scans - a couple cards are a little blurry - but I'm happy with the quality. You...

    COMPLETE Custom Sets that are cool.

    It's a first release and kinda bomb-heavy, but this Star Wars cube is pretty cool. It's a tri-colour set with a couple of choice reprints and a high power level (some of the customs obnoxiously so imo but ymmv and if it's story-based maybe that's okay?) Some cards:

    Card/Deck Human 2-drops

    trying out Chief of the Edge asap, wayyy smart idea echoing that Human tribal here is typically WB colours, sometimes it's red and blue and gets either more aggressive or more reactive but the grindy aristocrats version has been the most resilient here too. There's also CoCo humans in green...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Just switched to it recently, after trying it out when I was testing Dash on a larger scale. Definitely playable, and fun.

    General PWs to Cut and UR spells to run

    the timing restriction brings back memories of the time I cubed Cauldron Dance - so much value but ultimately too conditional. Cauldron Dance is a really fun card, btw where are people at vis a vis running Warleader's Helix alongside Lightning Helix? There's a few extra things it kills but...

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    I'm on Nighthawk or Rec. Sage. Dictate is strong but maybe I'll wheel it or the Elves of Deep Shadow.

    General PWs to Cut and UR spells to run

    reminder that Dack's -2 costs {2}{U}{U} and a card itself; he's wayyyyy pushed for Vintage that said i'm interested in hearing how he does!

    General Cube Drafting on MODO

    The competition here I think is XMage, which is Java-based and has rules enforcement. I've never been able to get it to work but allegedly it's quite plug-and-play, and I think it has draft functionality.

    First budget cube

    I'd try to finish the Izzet Boilerworks cycle (i.e. ten lands w/ the same effect), they'll help smooth the decks it looks like your Cube wants to make. Your green is kinda rampy (but without much to ramp into?) and I'd curb that a little for some cheap aggro creatures. Experiment One, Skyshroud...

    General Cube Drafting on MODO

    Yeah, you lose this (although the two people closest to cameras can show things to them) but instead you get to capture table talk and do interviews more easily. Milo's mono-blue draft video (the first one i linked above) has him leafing through his hand for the camera with draft commentary...

    General Cube Drafting on MODO

    On a tangent: I've been thinking about the logistics of recording paper Cube sessions. It was prompted again recently by this LoadingReadyRun Conspiracy draft, which called for two mics, three cameras(one wide) and a long table. MiloTheGathering who iirc Lucre plays with (among other Toronto...

    General Cube Drafting on MODO

    No reprints, best walker in Modern and the second-best in Legacy there's a few individually-pricy cards that make up the lion's share of my Cube, too - a few budget tweaks might make a cheaper, but still great, environmen(on the order of like $200 cheaper)

    General Cube Drafting on MODO

    Yo, save yourself some time and use this tool: http://www.mtggoldfish.com/tools/deck_pricer#online You may need to paste a list in a couple of segments - my cube came to about $500 not including Wastelands (which i'm sure people could sportingly rule Strip Mines to be)

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    Crucible of Worlds and try to build dredge! It looks like there's a pretty solid R/W deck floating around though, so maybe Prophetic Flamespeaker and a small splash down the line?

    Look, I'll never in my life write a joke as funny as the last line being "2 Sol Ring" I don't mean to make fun of the guy, I just love the meta-less casual piles people make
