I think this is the real sell on Birthing Pod. "Support" it as much extra as you want, but having good creatures (which most cubes do) means that there is an extremely low opportunity cost to adding enourmous amounts of draft, deckbuilding, and play creativity by adding Pod.

Definitely a major combo enabler around here, but that's likely because there are former Kiki-Pod players in our group. Kiki-Resto and Finks-Sac-Anafenza are two I've seen out of my cube, to varying degrees of sucess.

Another reason for double fetchlands.... To check your deck for four drops, lol

Is the title a pun? or am I reading too far into this?

In terms of artifact and enchantment removal, there's always Wear // Tear. Reading your discussions about this cube makes me want to do an 8-man draft with it... any chance we could do that here on Riptide Lab?

I like the concept of "environmental change". It encourage drafters to build synergies that take advantage of the environmental changes they present. Looking through the Gatherer for cards that look like they have that kind of symetircal impact: Scapeshift Upheval Aggressive Mining Assault...

Okay, sell me on: Frostburn Weird

Sorry for the post spamming but this really got me thinking: You know those mats that vendors have at GPs where they sort your cards by $1, $5, etc when buying a collection? SO if you got a pack, then one player sorts the pack onto this kind of mat, and so there's some $1 cards, some $5 cards...

Or each card has an assigned "points" value and you have a limited number of points per pack to spend to build a deck. Or sorta like rotiessiery rotissery roetissery [however the fuck its spelled] but with points ...only trouble would be assigning point values to each card.

Or a bag of Scrabble peices and you can only pick cards with the letter you draw

That took me waaaay longer to get than it should have

Never mind, this falls into the category of "Did I draw proper sideboard cards" that we're trying to avoid.

Relic of Progenitus Tormod's Crypt Grafdigger's Cage Nihil Spellbomb Wasteland Tectonic Edge Ghost Quarter Aren't there lots of colorless card that interact with both of these resouces? Or are they at fault for being too narrow?

Okay, so I've re-read through this thread a few more times while thinking about this, and I've found myself lost in terms of terminology. What are the distinctions between "engine", "combo", "synergy/synergistic kill", "cog", etc? From what I've gathered, (and this might not be accurate)...

The "I didn't draw the proper sideboard/hoser/disruption card so I lose" felling is the thing I hate the most about the Modern format at the moment, and my post echoes that a little bit. The funny thing is that Twin is considered a "fair" deck in the format right now. I've been thinking about...
