    General MTGO Legendary Cube

    So I checked out the latest Magic: the Amateuring podcast, and they have an interview with Adam Prosak about the Legendary Cube. Here's the highlights: All the creatures are legendary (we knew this already) Basically a "dragon cube," lots of big splashy cards, almost a commander feel Lots of...

    Modern Rotisserie Draft

    This automated pick list thing sounds like it could make a cool format all on its own. Use a whole cardpool like Rotisserie, have all 8 people submit a giant list of cards they want in the order they want 'em, then give the lists to a computer and find out what everyone gets. Fastest draft...

    Modern Rotisserie Draft

    I don't know if there's a way for you to do that without letting other people see what the cards are. You could maybe send your list of cards to an impartial third party who's watching the draft, and have him enter the cards for you.

    Oh, also you guys probably all got emails, that was just me testing the button. :)

    Modern Rotisserie Draft

    I added a button to the spreadsheet. If you select the cell with the name of whoever goes after you, then press the Notify button, it should automatically send an email to that person. Try it out! (But not too much.)

    General Building cubes for newer players, Cubing minimalism

    I think you'd need to include a ton of vanilla creatures. In order to match the complexity level of a New World Order core set, I imagine you might need ~15-20 vanilla creatures in a 360, plus a liberal application of virtual vanillas. Heck, if you can go up to 30 vanillas, that might be even...

    Whooaaaa, a lot of posts showed up out of nowhere. Do we have anyone else joining? EDIT: I think Warp could work in this format. Just make the draw trigger work like Miracles, and don't bother putting the card face up. If we know there's only one copy of the card, then you can just say "The...

    Okay, clearly there aren't enough people on Riptide to fill this up to 8. 1. We could just make a 180 cube with 4 people. 2. I could get a 4th and we could each make 90 instead of 45. 3. I could try to recruit people elsewhere. 4. I could just try again some other time. Opinions?

    Devotion and hybrid are two of my favorite mechanics for sure. Devotion and CMC matters stuff could be interesting with a lot of alternate-casting-cost cards. Suspend? I hope we don't make too many endless recursion cards. I don't like repetitive game states caused by things like dredge and...
