    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    And I would also like some feedback on these two bue classes: Fisher wants to fight! {U} Enchantment — Class I - When this class enters, create a Magikarp (0/1 blue water type) {1}{U}: II - Whenever you discard a card, put a +1/+1 counter on up to one target water Pokémon. {2}{U}: III - At the...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I decided to do classes for my custom Pokémagic cube. They look like this: That's a lot of photoshop work to have these 2003 frame versions with all the customized elements as classes. So I want to make sure I am close to a well balanced card design before I do the work. So please help me...

    Do we not already have Ghostbusters the Gathering in late September and Foundations in November?

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I think this is a pretty cool idea. I would just establish a rule that each and every deck has to consist of at least four or so Volatile Chimeras. You just have to make sure that it is worth to pay the 3+2 over casting them as Goblin Roughriders, but that should be easy. Just add stuff that is...

    I would've never been able to put together my custom Pokémagic cube if I had not read many, many making magic articles over the years.

    Card/Deck Cards I Was Wrong About: Lessons Learned

    It was this line that made me want to write a lessons learned post on my own cube to represent a humane power level :D

    [500] CCC - Casual Champions Cube

    Recently, I had an epiphany. I came up with a new 2-player draft format, that is fast, easy to grasp and allows for all the important dynamics we like in our drafts. I call it The Two Towers. I will probably write more on it, but here in my CCC's thread I want to focus on the first actual test...

    You could also just put the card that is enchanted face down in front of you. It's not that complicated.

    These "playtest cards" are what unfinity should've been, just with real art and frames, and un-sets would still be a thing.

    General Riptide's P1P1 Thread

    Pretty high power level and I sometimes don't feel comfortable with that, but here I actually know all the cards, yay! Checking the list, I would be tempted to do something broken. So Entomb would probably a somewhat safe pick. I would be tempted to take Yawgmoth's Will and try to wheel LED but...

    Just play 1- and 2-drops that are worse. I'm a big fan of 1/1 fliers for one with some upside, but you can also run some less obnoxious Savannah Lions. Similar for twos, and even just 2/2 bears for two with upsides that don't even scream aggro can make for a good aggro deck when 1) the density...

    General Riptide's P1P1 Thread

    Don't miss that it gets trample, that's important. It's definitely not a first pick, honestly it often is pretty mediocre, but there are decks where this is above average. You'll know when you want it and nobody else will, but I have seen it attack with Ball Lightning stats.

    General Riptide's P1P1 Thread

    this is a tough one without ever having played this. My heart wants to take Honest Rutstein, as I have a hard time passing such a pushed gravedigger. But considering one tenth of the cube is gold, I probably want the fetchable triland here, so I'd pick the boring Spara's headquarters. For the...

    [500] CCC - Casual Champions Cube

    You probably know these Rakdos scam decks from constructed, where you would evoke something sick like Fury and then make it stick and double it's trigger with something like Undying Evil. Of course I would not want that to happen in my lower powered cube, but maybe a version of it could be fun...

    General Riptide's P1P1 Thread

    In an attempt to revitalize these boards, I thought it would be fun to have a P1P1 thread. Just write what you would pick from the latest pack posted, briefly explain your thought process and then you can post your own cube of choice and a pack from it. Let's get it going: List...

    Isn't the line between case studies and data blurry here anyway? What I mean by that, and what I meant in general, is that I don't expect to get anything relatable on what the best red 1-drop is between a 59.2 and a 58.9 % win rate. For these kind of things you need thousands of drafts of...

    I really like both, simic untap and rakdos colorless as themes here. They add vatiety, yet fit like a glove.

    Since I've started gathering data, I mostly realized how little data with a small sample size really matters. For example, in my cube Consider and Rampant Growth are both in the top three cards of their color according to win rates. whereas Opt and Sakura-Tribe Elder are in the bottom three...
