I CT drafted it and liked it. Heretic's Punishment control! I run an embarassing number of these cards in my 100% serious cube. I did notice you are running both Skyshroud Troll and Wolfir Avenger, which seems wrong as one is just blatantly better then the other.

Well, I don't know about you, but I don't keep 3 Gaea's Cradles lying around in my Cube box, so the same is true in FSR land.

Update made, first draft hopefully on Sunday. Besides routine swaps and Born of the Gods adds, I'm experimenting with double picks (squadrons where you get two of the same card). So far, all the cards involved are beater 1 drops. The intention is to keep the power level of 1 drops...

I think Golgari Guildmage is mostly unplayable and this is coming from someone who thinks Stalker Hag is marginally playable. Those abilities just cost so much for so little. You'd have to be all in on devotion and sacrifice to even consider this card and I think you'd probably still be better...

I'll take this a step further: I don't understand the need to draw completely random stuff on magic cards. I mean, why do I need to look at random anime character #647 while playing a game? I've never been in the middle of a game of magic and thought, "Shit, I really need to see a picture of...

The Mox is powerful because it gives you an effect that is worth two mana for nothing, with basically no risk attached. Of course you could lose a game with that. I mean, after someone mulligans, you still play the game, right? Even though someone just got a free three mana effect (Divination...

There is nothing remotely interesting or fun about mox sapphire. Its just a 2 mana below average 2 mana card (sky diamond) card that costs zero and comes into play tapped for some reason. So, if you unless you think Sky Diamond is an exciting effect that you just wished was pushed really, really...

I mean, I understand fighting for the sake of fighting, but that's not what I'm talking about. I mean, say the "anti-singleton" people "win" the "argument". What happens to the singleton cubes? Assuming those cubes were well designed and the singleton restriction was impinging on their design...

This is pretty awesome, but pretty heavy to do offline. I'm going to try my 3-pack system first and then if that doesn't work see if this can possibly be adapted to the paper world. Its kind of hard to just blindly suggest cards into this, but hopefully I can think of something useful. Fuck...

The logic is beyond me, but the motivation for even wanting to defend the logic is even less understandable. Absolutely nothing is literally the worst thing that can happen.

I would love to post more stuff about my update, but I still haven't gotten my mail and I am powerless to make changes without physical cards to move around.

You activate the +0, which triggers Gideon becoming a 6/6 creature. Humility is in play, so he is a 1/1 instead. All damage is still prevented to him because that is part of activating the +0, not static ability on the card. Gideon loses all his other abilities, but since planeswalkers can...

The chance of having any one of these specific undesirable events is quite small, but the chance of at least one happening is pretty large. I think a simple system you could use would be to create 360 slots and assign one or more cards to each slot. So cards you always want in would only have...

A common misconception people have about random is that if things vary greatly from the average, then it must be some kind of error. When I used to play bridge a lot (<3 Bridge), if you played in person and dealt certain people a hand with 7 clubs, they would complain that the deck wasn't...

Don't listen to him! Run it! Suit it up with Kjeljoran Outpost, Moorland Haunt and Ephara and have fun. Just don't sit devotion while Humility is out!

Exactly. I love Urborg. Coffers just isn't going in any direction I'm interested in even though I LOVE Gray Merchant of Asphodel.

Humility is super strong. I've cubed it on and off for a long time, the main reason not to run it is its one of those cards where if you play it without something that makes it strong (anthem, token engine) it just makes the game take forever. Basically, its like moat, but the other guy can...

I think this is a lot of unwanted variance for very little payoff. Now if you could set up a way to have part of the cube fixed and another part of the cube varied, that would be much better. This way you could always have the right numbers of your vital cards, while the supporting players...

I don't even run coffers in my land pile and I'll run basically anything. I think its place is definitely in the utility pile if anywhere. Its sort of a reward for drafting such an extreme deck.

Late 1994. I clarify late 1994, because by the time I started playing, you couldn't get Unlimited packs for under $20 anymore. I missed the boat on that money train by a few months.
