So despite my better judgment I watched some magic coverage. LSVs Fevered Visions deck looked cool. In what universe is that a card? UR prowess decks in my environment are definitely interested in that type of effect, but I also can't imagine anyone in my environment being able to afford taking...

Streamed a draft of Dom's. Super fun cube, liked the deck I made. As usual, I went on a few rabbit trails discussing cards along the way. Particularly interested to hear folks' experiences with Undying Evil and whether I'm doing it wrong. I can't recall which, but there were a couple other cards...

Yeah, that's super friggin cool. Totally interested.

This seems cool. Is it necessary to track every booster prior to the draft and enter those as well? Seems like the only way to get the output that you're getting. I'm interested, but this does also seem like quite a bit of work.

Now that I've seen it happen in one deck, I'm not sure I should build my *cube* with two mox diamond! Lol

Interesting draft! The double mox is pretty scary. Brings up an interesting point; when I run these they're usually run as my "18th land". Opinions on that? Also random sidenote but normal Magus of the Wheel is a 3/3 :p I just made that super art render for fun.

It's not so much a power level gripe as a power band gripe. I think we're learning (lately, at least) that this is actually more of a spectrum or at the very least a two schools of thought kinda thing. I fall pretty firmly into the camp that says drafting is less interesting when there are clear...

Drafted yours psly4mne, can't video atm so text picks. Some concerns about power band but deck looks fun. Picks: deck:

"I'll flashback Cruel Ultimatum" -me, last night in a for fun game, after losing 0-2 the first match.

Has anyone tried this at a higher power level? My target count for teachings is 84, which seems like it's probably towards the high end. If this is a compact enough archetype (I haven't read Grillo's post yet), I'd definitely be interested in giving it a whirl. Do you mind posting some...

I'm glad you enjoyed it :) I definitely stumbled quite a bit, especially in the scuttle cube. I consider myself sort of an average drafter; I have good drafts and bad ones, I'm not the best at picking up themes as I go if I've gone in blind. I was a little hard on myself about that after...

Gonna spew out a few random thoughts on this. I think the best bet is to pin down what we mean by "control" i.e. what the essential elements of this are. I can't recall exactly where, but I know this has been argued about at length previously. IIRC Grillo has a much more broad/permissive...

Drafted all three of yours Laz. Decided to give streaming these a try. It's a little more time intensive to consume I guess, so I'll post deck screencaps behind spoilers for you or anyone else who just wants a tl;dr: I'll post youtube links when they finish extracting, but until then here are...

Seconding everflowing chalice. I harp on this a lot, but cards that have choices are almost always better in my opinion. Bonus points if you run Volt Charge, a card I'm higher on every time I play with it in my cube.

I sit somewhere between 3.6% and 4% depending on what cards you count and control honestly isn't even that good here. This probably has a lot to do with black aggro, but I do have cards in both red and white that keep recursive stuff in check.

Fun design but it doesn't feel like a bant tribrid to me. The X counters design is RG, flash is UW and maybe G, tapping stuff is UW, and recurring is BW. All of these abilities are fine and probably cool in some combination, but they don't add up to a green card with a U/W activated ability in...

inb4 thread devolves into sex tape scandal debate

A few thoughts, first, oh my god please use card tags. Second, I'm as singleton-breaky as the next guy (probably more), but I definitely looked at these ones a bit sideways: Monastery Mentor - isn't two just broken as hell? This card is reaaaal good. Jace, Vryn's Prodigy - see comments on MM...

The emphasis on getting them in hand was actually because I suspect the numbers will be pretty damning even before we take into account the amount of work it takes to get them into the yard. (I've got a pretty strong bias against the archetype just on the basis of my gut telling me it's really...

I mean... we all know where I stand on this one >_> I say have at it RBM! I'd go with up to 4 per deck as BLB freebies. I'm interested to hear your results :)
