I thought he made some good points re: viewership. His numbers seem based on assumptions, but I think he makes some good arguments for increasing viewers. More viewers mean the media products themselves are more valuable, which adds value above the value of the boosters sold. I think he's right...

Random question...anyone live in the SF Bay Area and want to work on designing original games? I am looking to start a workshop environment to work together on our own ideas.

Yeah, maybe Phyrexian Arena wouldn't be good. Good points on Porcelain Legionnaire. Almost no one pays 2 life for it in my regular cube, but I was thinking it is a good thematic fit for the life payments deck.

I think madness is also enabled by the host of blue draw X, discard Y cards (e.g., Careful Consideration). It looks like you don't do singleton, so I would bump Burning Vengeance to 2 copies. Here are the madness, flashback, discard, hellbent stuff I was thinking of for red. Red Blast from...

Yeah, I was thinking about stuff like Myr Sire that are good on their own, but really would shine in the sacrifice deck. I might try to add in a few artifact creatures for each deck like that; ones that are pseudo-colored because of the themes. Stuff like Porcelain Legionnaire, which is a...

Serene Remembrance is another possibility. I think Cremate and Vile Rebirth are both cool. Some other suggestions: Logic Knot is a potential card for blue. Tortured Existence is one of my favorite black cards, maybe it'd be a good fit here. It seems like you've excluded flashback and...

Didn't think of Graveborn Muse, that's a good idea, thanks! EDIT: Also looking for something for artifacts to be doing now that I cut affinity. Will probably include some sunburst, and then maybe just utility stuff. I'm thinking I don't want to add artifacts that play too much into any color...

I think the idea of zombies arose from wanting to make black more interesting/better. Maybe that's a place to start? What other colors could use the help in your cube? Not necessarily power-wise, but what color(s) could be more interesting?

The thing that's the coolest about zombies is how they interact with pox, sacrifice, and recursion themes. In other words, they open up new strategies or ways to play.I think a lot of tribal is too lord-based though, too based on power/toughness boosts. In my opinion, tribes are the coolest...

Yeah, I looked over your Eldrazi Domain cube and got some good ideas. Not necessarily in the cards, but more in terms of an overall design aesthetic. Definitely seems like we're coming from similar places.

Ok, latest idea...life gain as a theme for b/w just seemed unexciting. My brother had the idea of expanding it to life gain and life payments. So white would have the majority of cards that gained life and black would have cards that cost life. I am looking for black cards that have life as a...

Hey guys and girls, I have been playing Magic since 1994. The first booster I bought was Antiquities, but Legends really sucked me in. I quit around Alliances, went to college, and then got back into it with Lorwyn when I discovered drafting. I started cubing about two years ago, and put...

Thanks for the feedback, guys! I think artifacts may be too narrow of a theme. My judgment was a bit blinded by having done well with them in MMA drafts. Jason, that Zac Hill article is super helpful! It's going to change everything. I think I can make the Golgari themes work, they...

Thanks for the welcome! What I meant was that when you include cards like Balance, Hero of Bladehold, Jace, the Mindsculptor, Goblin Guide, Sulfuric Vortex, Umezawa's Jitte and so forth it pushes out cards like Corpsejack Menace. The power level could be flat, but still too high for gimmicky...

I've updated this cube. Give it a draft at cubetutor and help me collect data! http://www.cubetutor.com/draft/13664 Old post:

Yeah, I really like MMA as well. I have done 4-5 drafts, 1 sealed GPT, and my playgroup has collectively done probably three to four times that. I think all the archetypes are good enough to win, though RW seems the weakest. Green seems to be the most consistently good color (splash for...
