    So close, but I detest un-cards/sets, and while this one would be printable in black border, I would never play it as is.

    I've got 3 slots in my cube and spent them on two Fiery Temper and the Avacyn's Judgment. Wondering about the split now.

    A deceptively bad cube

    :) I've got a few more changes, mostly some that I wanted to do before, but where I hasn't yet received the cards: Out -> In Reyhan, Last of the Abzan -> Shambling Shell Innocent Blood, Dread Return -> Vicious Offering x2 Trash for Treasure -> Lightning Axe #2 Honored Hydra -> Splinterfright...

    Alchemist's Greeting or Avacyn's Judgment ?

    Kinda how funny how much Xantcha looks like the original Sleeper Agent. Both in art and in play. Sleeper Agent

    I'd agree on that. However, humans are easily tricked. Here are two scenarios: A player has a blue deck where they have a few artifacts, let's say 8. They play Glint-Nest Crane, and end up whiffing a lot of the time because they now have ~ 40% chance to. Ask them, out of 10, where they'd...

    Ask your drafters about it after the game, they don't end up equivalent. For the second part, while 6 spirits in the cube might be enough to be playable, I can see a draft ending with "So I started picking up spirits, but there were basically none." which, like above, ends up feelbad.

    I love it. EDIT: Also has flash.

    Commander was my main format and I feel / felt the same way.

    Glint-Nest Crane feels bad if you miss.

    A deceptively bad cube

    First two points, I agree. Third point: valid and fair. I think this time, the guy saw more games with the Monastery Mentor and he isn't really degenerate, imo in the cube. No one else ever commented about it, nor did anyone, including the guy, say anything anymore. I agree, I ended up...

    The +1 toughness is really that important?

    General Fight Club

    Aven Wind Mage vs Jeskai Windscout +1 toughness ended up being surprisingly relevant to me, but my drafters seem to ignore the fact. The fact that this doesn't trigger on artifacts also didn't seem to bother my drafters, but I've seen some missed opportunities. I can see myself turning a...

    CBS I barely pieced together from knowing GRBS. It'd be cool to have a Riptidelabs discord.

    A deceptively bad cube

    Also this, about the changes: Remand x2 -> Miscalculate x2 Remand almost never saw play, Miscalculate was a freaking house. Remand doesn't fully remove the card but does actually act as a counter, since it delays the opponent and draws a card (think of it as a 0 for 0, which I guess people...

    A deceptively bad cube

    We drafted Saturday and had a mini half draft last week, this is for this week, as we got a full 8 and did things properly. I implemented some of the changes that I had mentioned previously, but I have not gotten all my orders in yet. Here were the changes: Remand x2 -> Miscalculate x2...

    General NWO

    This makes sense and shows, but I wonder if that's what we want. I guess magic and Hearthstone don't want to be the same thing. I think one could argue that magic suffers because of it. There's weird and unintuitive behavior that creeps in (Squee on Ixalan for a recent example) that feels bad...

    General NWO

    I keep hearing about NWO only affecting commons. I thought it had an effect on uncommons too? Menace wasn't really an issue. I've found that people remember cards/abilities/keywords mostly on something innate. I've seen a guy riffle through my cube, asking about mechanics or whatnot since he...

    A deceptively bad cube

    I don't super feel like they're what I want. But Vessel of Nascency is closest. In another cube, where I'd want Gx Delirium (prob WG) I'd love Vessel of Nascency. The fact that it does nothing but dig and can't hit stuff already in the graveyard kills it. Commune with the Gods seems narrow in a...

    A deceptively bad cube

    I think I can assume it was fine if it was/felt organic. I guess I was more worried you felt pushed into doing something that tried so many things because there wasn't enough to focus on. I had gotten a few comments earlier on in the thread on how the cube felt short on playables. It felt good...
