Did some drafts, streamed 3/4 of them. 2/3 of those streams are crappy because the audio levels were all wrong. I got one solid stream out of it though! https://www.twitch.tv/aoret/v/63876672 I'll include the links in case anyone wants to watch them muted or REALLY wants to bump some jazzy hip...

Yeah Colonel, that boros deck is the absolute filth. Can totally see running a half fetchland manabase just to four people with lyxes over and over. Thanks a ton for doing those! Is there any viable way for me to draft your cube? Do you have it up on cubetutor premium or anything? If not, post...

Awesome! I'm gonna try to stream a few drafts of this over the weekend. Will post links to streams and decks when done.

Woooo! that was funnnn! I love what you've done with first strike density in white. Only griped about one card in my draft... a lot of folks are running Brimaz. Am I just crazy for hating him? The deck: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/524287 The draft:

I just realized I never gave this a reply. Since the thread has gone a bit stale with nobody drafting since my last one, I'll do one of yours as well MDT. First, a couple thoughts on your draft: deck is sweet! I'm glad you enjoyed the cube. Fun fact, the alternate spell pierce was generated by...

hm, maybe the solution is just being okay with nobody playing it quickly enough. Totally agree the 1s add up, but I kinda always felt like I was just wrong to not be using it, that could be because I haven't played enough with the effect to know what I'm talking about. And yeah, you're...

Brawl looks super sweet. I may give that card a go myself!

Random, but how do we feel about Sensei's Divining Top nowadays? Is it a sacred cow? Few could argue against the total sweetness it enables. It also forces players into repetitive action (which I've harped on elsewhere of late). Worse, though, it causes your various options/lines of play to...

Genesis is an interesting one and something I'd definitely overlooked. I haven't played with the card much so I can't really speak to power level, but in a vacuum this is exactly what I'm talking about re: advantage that isn't pure draw. Also couldn't agree more with the sentiment that we need...

Yeah that was kind of my original vision for the thread, to separate "here's the cards I'm testing" from the discussion. But hey, who am I to try to avoid a derailed riptide thread :D I guess it's natural that discussion would follow the list posting.

In no way trying to trash you or the thread and I'm sorry if it came across that way. I care about this and I want it to succeed, so I'm criticizing what I felt was a bad turn for this to take, and trying to contribute by exploring a bit of the space where I think I can lend insight. Fair...

Basically it plays a lot worse than it reads on paper. If I just cast a subpar four drop and that cantrips, okay, fine I guess (though the rate gets even worse when you consider it is green). But when you then tell me I need a sac outlet (or to be able to get it killed in combat over and over)...

I'm a bit late with this as I didn't finish writing my rant about Harmonize before I had to leave for work today, but here goes. I think we're deluding ourselves if our answer to "non-blue control" is including colorshifted blue cards while making blue worse. Grillo explores this above, but...

"so much so that he maintains not one but several diverse cubes, including a fully foiled powered cube" Now what booster packs do you suppose he opened to make that one? Sounds to me like somebody at the mother ship forgot to edit this out

Suggesting sword of feast or famine

Ahh okay sweet. I really like that errata and used it myself for some time. It's definitely better that way, though I suspect I'm probably still forced to pick it regardless. I think sofaf is the best sword and I don't think it's close. Nonetheless, I completely understand having crowd...

Microsoft just spoiled the art for the new 5 color land

Drafted Aston's. No video this time D: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/523121 stream of consciousness picks: Thoughts: Overall fun, easy to see signals from the bots. Was definitely in the right colors. Saw a lot of cards I really like, included a couple more offbeat ones. A handful of...

I'm testing it but have yet to play it. I played sealed against my girlfriend over the weekend testing this changeset seeded as extra cards into the pools. I divided them by color and it ended up being roughly 50/50 to go Izzet and Abzan as the two portions. Methodology was more akin to team...

Tested a bit last night. Decks were UR prowess against GW humans/landfall. I played Fevered Visions as written, and started with the card in hand every game. Very possible that I was playing the card wrong, but I was disincentivized to cast it more often than not. The only game where it did...
