    Really enjoyed this write-up. Nice to see such a strong direction in your draft too, I guess part of that is the number of times you've seen my cube now. I don't usually get to see decks like this since most of my drafters aren't experienced enough to really grok this stuff (and my good players...

    If nothing else, the handful of us who have been doing a bunch can keep ping-ponging these back and forth. I know I need more data. I'm only just starting to see patterns emerge and I'm not sure whether I should draw strong conclusions about them yet. http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/531816

    General Solo Draft Format (brainstorming)

    Could see if Ben from CT would be willing to share his data from that card tagging project? (Or is that run by someone else and he's using it? Either way it saves a lot...)

    General MTG is turning into an eSport. Can it succeed?

    Mixed feelings on hearthstone MtG vs paper. I really like paper for all the reasons listed. Digital MtG is problematic for all the reasons CML has written about in the past. If they got a really, really damn good UX team, it's possible they could make a fairly undiluted experience, and then I'd...

    Ahh, okay so I was thinking along the lines of actually suspending it for more mana and using it to clean up numerous x/1 creatures. But now that I'm thinking about it more, if I really wanted to do that I'd just wrath or something right? It does gain some from the versatility (being a shock...

    [Design/Discussion] The Spiral

    Pretty much exactly this! I like that this thread may have hit on a way (or at least an abstract concept) to improve on our existing design philosophy. What I initially thought was more along the lines of disrupting our years-old design philosophy I now understand to be akin to sanding down one...

    One of us is still missing something, and I'm not sure who. To me, this feels like we're trying to have it both ways. You're telling me that I start out by picking good stuff, I then look at my good stuff and say "wow I unintentionally ended up with a density of Y kind of thing, maybe I can do...

    The dragon fodder that I run is an instant and makes humans. Adventuring gear is buoyed by the fact that fetchland counts are routinely as high as 8 or 9. I'll admit I've considered cutting it anyhow, but I'm a bit low on how i value equipment as a player. I'm sure you could find other examples...

    I read both your post and Paulo's article, and I don't think there's confusion here, I think we simply disagree. I'll take a stab at summarizing your ideas though so you can tell me if I've got a piece of it wrong: Both you and Paulo are saying that a dynamic exists (or can be created, in our...

    Ahhh okay I see it finally. And I can only defend that pick by suggesting that I'd probably just drafted or played blue immediately beforehand. I've been developing an aversion because I catch so much hell with my local playgroup over playing Ux decks all the time D:

    Still not seeing this option. I do see the Castle AI recording. Am I trippin? Ben seriously needs a UX guy.

    A few thoughts on various pieces of this: 1. This is a cool space and I'm interested to follow this as it evolves. I'm glad we're not getting stuck in a rut in terms of design philosophy (even if we've hit on some decent strategies) 2. I have a suspicion that the allowable power band height...

    Card/Deck Start your Engines: A Temur Card Advantage Deck

    Not 100% on which draft we're talking about, but I think in one of them I cracked a joke about splashing brainstorm at the beginning of pack two or three? That said, I *do* overvalue brainstorm, which is sort of why I made the joke. Not actually funny unless you're one of the folks I draft with...

    Yo guys imma let you finish but that deck I drafted is the best GB aggro deck of ALL TIME. ... but no seriously, I did one draft on a lark last night and ended up there and it's one of the best versions of that deck I've ever seen come out of my cube
