Think about your/our design goals here. If that's 'make the best cube available for <$100' then ditching singleton to get that is probably a better plan than having the singleton restriction and compromising that goal. If that's not the goal, then I've missed the point a bit here; even still...

Agreed. We are, perhaps, the only community that would actively try and build environments were neither of these are the case though.

I'm just saying I don't think that WotC believes that they can't print diabloic edict because they printed devour flesh any more than they won't print unsummon because of snag; not that devour is necessarily a good/better card than edict, just different.

I mean, devour flesh is the way it is so you can remove a problem creature but they get some life, or you can keep yourself alive but lose a creature. You're not going to target yourself with diabolic edict, except under weird circumstances. Same sort of deal as vapor snag/unsummon; vapor snag...

Oh hey, I didn't realise they had a new(ish) album. I'll need to check that out.

So I'm currently thinking about the following configuration: shocks, buddies, karoos (or maybe filters?) and 5 miscellaneous lands in the main cube, then make 14 card packs and have the 'basic land slot' be one of the vivids or one of hallimar depths, sejiri steppe, teetering peaks, dakmor...

You can use the curve charts to get the data pretty easily, but it's still manual. Also means you don't spot things like morph, suspend, madness, and other ways to get stuff cheaper than CMC.

It's totally removal for in limited, where creatures will be monstrous or have other creatures hanging off them by the neck for +4/+4; I'm sure it'll have it's uses.

I I had this thought last week, but couldn't figure out what you gain from it. I guess that you get to have themes that evolve through the three packs, but I don't know what that actually does compared to just decks developing over the course of a regular cube draft.

I wonder how much of the bad taste of the change is down to the fact that legends/planeswalkers have been design with the fact that clone kills them in mind? I'm kinda waiting until Theros hits to see if that has some less ridiculous legends that demonstrate a better design going forward...

Wouldn't this by somewhat beneficial if these wasn't the core affinity creatures; like, there are cards that only really fit into one(ish) deck, so you can somewhat rely on picking them up late if you go into and/or (more usefully) find yourself accidentally that deck? Disclaimer: I didn't...
