Ooooh! Do a "White Elephant" gift exchange thingy where all the gifts are pre-seeded packs full of fun goodies, and watch the madness ensue. Then draft as normal (maybe with only 2 packs?), with the requirement that you have to use your pre-seeded cards.
For more funsies/chaos, you could ask...
That's been my exact experience with Grave Titan, and the reason I cut him from my list. He fits so easily into any midrange deck as a finisher or control list as a stabablizer (and often finisher). Plus, he's picked early and often enough that splashing for him is never an issue.
Is this not a Birthing Pod Thread? I remeber it starting out as one, but then again, its a Riptide Thread...

Some rotation suggestions:
Put Karn and Kozilek in a rotation with each other.
Make 5 of your fetchlands rotate, since you've got 25.
Add the Blue Confluence in a rotation with Cryptic (tor the rotation of misc. counterspells)
Try Silugmar's Command in the UB rotation.
I would add a second Young...
Cheap, flexible removal is sought after by most decks:
Lightning Bolt
Dismember
Flexible modal spells can are cheap enough to take an offensive or defensive role
Kolaghan's Command
Izzet Charm
Azorius Charm
Defensive Cards that fill roles in other (mostly midrange) decks:
Wall of Omens...
Just came here from James's Enchantment Removal thread... with an idea. How would:
Myth Realized
Myth Realized
Seeker of the Way
Seeker of the Way
Work with this kind of support:
ethereal armor
ethereal armor
Gods Willing
Emerge Unscathed
Journey to Nowhere
Silkwrap
I guess the issue is...
Not mentioned yet:
Removal
porphyry nodes
threads of disloyalty
detention sphere
silkwrap
suspension field
Could be sweet:
Sylvan library
Dictate of Kruphix
Heartbeat of Spring
Jeskai Ascendancy
Citadel Siege
Outpost Siege
Assemble the Legion
Gotta try this this one out:
Myth Realized
Azorius Charm
Feeling of Dread
Ojutai's Command
How have these cards fared in your aggro decks? I've been thinking of changing up my UW section to play better with aggro.
Yeah, I'm still jamming 3-mana Ajani. My group and I enjoy playing with it, and its a great way to add pressure to the board without overcommiting. Also, it lets you choose to play verticle growth -> eventually pressure to ult OR apply immediate pressure with flying and double strike.
