I don't know, I looked at the same numbers and I came to the opposite conclusion. You have about 45 cards you picked, so if you are playing about 23 nonlands and 6 lands, then you can account for sideboard tech, speculative picks, hate picks and so on, and at the end there's about 10 out of 45...

The Handout Template Primer What do you need to use this template? • Adobe Illustrator. At least version CS6, which is what I have used. There are alternatives to it, but I haven't tested any of them. • Template file. Uploaded here. • Magic Fonts: MagicSymbols2008, Beleren, and...

I made a template for myself using photoshop and the Magic fonts you can get from Magic Set Editor. I'll check if I can clean it up and upload it somewhere when I'm off work!

Thanks! We are trying our best. Not playing Magic against each other is definitely part of that :D For the language thing, I think it also goes to how easy it is to get a cheaper version of a card in not-English in Europe and me wanting to save as much to wrap up the cube in foil. In Brazil...

Really neat episode! I knew of the podcast but hadn't really listened to an episode until now! I would add that it isn't just your event, but most times, everyone's event, and while you have your own responsibilities, if you are in a group of friends, you don't need to be the sole bearer of...

The title is mostly to call attention, but it's an important question that I feel doesn't get talked about enough. Over the years with this hobby, I've seen a plethora of theory-crafting, vocabulary-forming, trends coming and going, but rarely has this question truly taken the center stage. My...

I did something recently and needed to share it here: I played one of my cubes without the printouts and it was the one thing that players were talking about as being a lesser experience than with the previous cube drafts. Granted, it was the Modern Horizons Horizons cube, and I didn't even...

I ran the Changeling Cube yesterday and got to see many players that weren't familiar with the cube try it out for the first time. Some additional learnings on handouts: What worked well: • Non-prescriptive. People were not totally attached to the archetypes, so it worked well as a guide to...

I knew you would like this :D I think handouts would be particularly useful for you, since your cube has all sorts of tournament-based rules. If you are not doing it yet, you should definitely try it!

Same for me. That's why I also added the supported tribes after each color pair in my handout. You can always focus on highlighting themes and not archetypes so that people can mix and match those. I think you could even have the handout be a piece of pride for the players by writing down on...

My playgroup has been engaging a lot more with retail draft than cube drafting for the past couple of years, and one of the things that I'm picking up to add to my cubes is the Archetype Printout. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's these things that come in every draft booster box...

This whole thing reminds me a bit of Bernie DeKoven's well-played game, where two players kept trying different variants of the same game until they found a good skill/ruleset match. I think I kinda understand the feeling, but really, I think we all need to be better at describing the material...

I think it'll be fine. The bridges aren't really something that is useful for everyone anyways, and there's a steep coat in including them, both because they come tapped, and because it's not great to have tons of tapped lands in your deck anyways, and the snow duals are already way better...

Red has only one one-drop!? Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer :pogchimp: I'll tag @Jason Waddell so he can add whatever interaction he feels he's missing And @Rasmus Källqvist that had a neat deck !

I'll tag you twice for remembering it, @sigh :D I got to do two drafts so far. Feels better than drafting Double Masters, that's for sure! Some themes don't have enough support, mana curve clearly wasn't taken in consideration, but I didn't fell like I had to make super bad decisions to end...

Wait, does that give me a move, then? :0 If so, I'm moving the artifact lands to the land box. They kinda suck in this format to be in the the main draft, especially given that the snow lands are in the land box as well, though I can see their appeal. And we totally botched doing a snow theme...

I'll add the Incarnation cycle from MH2 I'll leave my tags open to anyone that wants to remove individual cards (not cycles) Edit: Damn, took too long thinking of what to add!

Lots of creatures with cycling here, so how about... Living Death Ion Storm can still do stuff, but maybe Zabaz is too parasitic. There isn't really other modular cards that are worth spending tags on. But I trust your judgement, so you get a tag in case you want to remove something, @Brad...

I can't tag myself, so I think @Rusje got my double tag :D Life from the Loam I'll take one! Ash Barrens Taking one tag to add a cycle: The Onslaught Cycle Cycle My tags: @Jason Waddell @Jason Waddell @Jason Waddell @Jason Waddell @Jason Waddell @Jason Waddell

I'll pick this one up! (I'm basically a lurker since the forum started anyways) Mist-Syndicate Naga I'll do something similar. The next two distinct users that get tagged, get an additional tag from me.
