I did this as soon as it was released. Never looking back!

Hm. I might swap Arena -> Second Bob and see how it plays. Thinking of all these changes I want to make has made me realize I haven't drafted Cube in almost a month!

Super late to this party, but Ogre Battledriver is the red one you're looking for!

I'm interested in both parts of this. Firstly, how have I managed not to see Priest before today? He looks like he plays better in Pod/Sac than Demon while sitll providing the body, and that's sorta what I'm looking for. SOLD! Secondly, I'm a huge fan of Dark Confidant in my cube, and I...

Well, for starters, Fetch->Dual and Fetch->Shock are generally the strongest set of fixing you can run, so I think filter-lands would be perfectly fine. Specifically, the filter-lands shine when you have to curve A into BB in an aggro deck. If you find your mana base to be boring, try...

For what it's worth, Bloodgift Demon plays an semi-important role in the Pod decks in my environment, as he's one of two black CMC 5 creatures. It's usually good for the Pod decks to be able to hit Mikey going up the chain, as he's the big "reward" card in black for Pod decks. I'm not sure that...

I agree with your point on prowess being too expensive/mana intensive. Not only that, but Manlands shine late game when other threats have been exhausted, and this runs counter to prowess (requiring gas to be strong). Also, I think a looting UR manland would be just worse than Loothouse

I had a "Manland of Choice" slot in my ULD for a while, that let a drafter choose one of: Celestial Colonnade Creeping Tar Pit Lavaclaw Reaches Raging Ravine Stirring Wildwood but have since cut the slot because it was nearly always first picked as strong fixing with upside. I've also changed my...

Unfortunately, the last grant their director applied for was denied by NSF, so they're still waiting on funding to continue that project.

I will certainly try to make some weekly drafts, depending on when in the week this is happening.

Came to this thread for shit-posts about Magic, get energy policy discussions instead. Never change Riptide, never change <3

But overall, I enjoyed the article, especially since I've been doing grid-drafts this afternoon with my brothers :)

A 2-0 deck I drafted and played against my brothers last night in a three person draft of my cube. My cube is very similar to yours Jason. This is probably a solid multi-colored aggro list if you want one for the gauntlet. One 1 Kird Ape 1 Stromkirk Noble 1 Zurgo Bellstriker 1 Birds of Paradise...

Yeah, I really dislike that CFB doesn't have a consistent image size for their articles. It makes reading their sideboard guides and articles like this much more difficult
