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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

Where are you seeing all these cards?

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...

Is there no LPR survey for Bloomburrow out yet?

Have you considered making this heavily about Eldrazi Spawns as well? Would be a nice way to link ramp with something like a sacrifce strategy and make colorless cards super easy to support. And honestly I could see jamming all of these cards except that weird one with myriad into this cube...

They are just as good as they've always been. It's just that we have more powerful stuff today. That doesn't make them lame by any stretch imo.

It's funny that you say piss poor and then mention good cards, that would still allow for a very dynamic format high in agency. When I hear piss poor power level I think of "Cancel your Hill Giant" and not of standard all stars. Also note that power level and speed are not the same. Somewhat...

There are two little updates here. One is of course my Bloomburrow emergency update (since I usually only add new stuff twice a year). The other is a draft result. In between while I was studying for my exams, I did a couple drafts with my gf. We drafted four decks and over the course of several...

Using gay as an insult isn't funny or even okay imo.

How expensive is a secrets lair like these? I mean, it's only 4-5 cards I don't really need lol but my gf is really into monty python.

Yesterday I got my regulars over for draft night and we did a 4-person draft with my new RAV+ cube. It was a blast. The guild modules in the draft this time were all the allied color guilds: {W/U}{U/B}{B/R}{R/G}{G/W} Now, to the results: 1. Rakdos Aggro 2-1 (5-2) Ones 1 Rakdos Cackler 1...

You mean "the 3 power", right?

I love Bloomburrow. Not only is it by a thousand miles the aesthetically most pleasing set of 2024 (not even that hard), it also delivered on so many themes I enjoy, hybrids and threshold standing out the most. Slam dunks that mostly replace former tag: placeholder s and will be added right...
