Looking for a little feedback, what is the objectively correct first pick here, if we are trying to min/max the draft. saproling burst goblin guide creeping tar pit overgrown tomb serum visions kessig prowler vendilion clique tasigur, the golden fang hero of oxid ridge avacyn's pilgrim goblin...

Cubetutor is down at the moment, but just from the description of the games it suggests a too wide power band, and a blue section that is too strong. That sounds about right though for the first iteration of your first independent design. In my experience, its really hard not accidentally...

How does savagery play? It looks really good: at the perfect spot on the curve to power up red threes badly looking for buffs, like stromkirk occultist. I'm assuming that cloak isn't good enough, because it often isn't, even in lower power formats. Does anyone play with boar umbra? Part of...

Made the big jump, cut crawler for: Herald of Torment Which should work really well in all of the aggro iterations due to it functioning as an evasive threat, P/T buff, and evasion buff: especially in an aggressive G/B deck. Really unhappy with the limited selection of toughness boosting...

Yeah, I like this, but it seems like its much stronger in blue (or UW/r) than strict R/W. Its a neat trick to be able to use blue's spell recursion to replay the white reanimation spell effects, targeting value ETB dudes, and just grinding down any non-U midrange deck, while still having...

I don't know, it looks pretty reasonable to me: I don't even think the power band is that big of an issue here. There are some lower power cards, but not a big enough density to actively hurt the draft experience, and I don't see any titans or oppositions or other ridiculous cards. There isn't...

Tinker with it some more, made some more swaps tinkering with the R/B decks. Pretty happy with how things are going. Out Tymaret, the murder king goblin heelcutter magma jet staggershock sarkhan, the dragonspeaker abyssal persecutor shrine of burning rage zealous conscripts lightning...

I'm using af as an abbreviation for artifact.

You would need really high af density: higher than I currently run. The problem with ravager is that both of its floors are very low, so its entirely dependent on the environment giving it a high af density to hit base levels of playability. That being achieved I wonder how it would be...

III. Aggro Space Overall, I think the aggro decks get passing marks, but this is mostly due to new printings, that plug some pretty big holes. Obviously hard to tell before play testing, but there are some promising indicators. This is probably the only spot where its tempting to break...

List Link here. Super long post incoming, will break it into a couple of parts. I don't know if you guys remember this article, which framed the notion of "midrange" cubes, which our forums' design predominantly consist of. With a lot of the changes that new sets have released, I was...

If you can run bouncelands in a format, you're running 15 land decks pretty consistently, giving everyone space for those two extra playables. Pretty much ends any angst over cuts.

What you would want to do, for lords, would be to run this setup in G/R/U embodiment of fury embodiment of insight sylvan advocate halimar tidecaller Advocate should be the absolute top of your power curve. The card is so generically goodstuff, I'm not sure it actually helps the tribal...

I hope geistcatcher's rig makes it, I really like that card. A lot of times those G/x decks will want a way to deal with flyers, and a surprisingly bad card becomes quite good, though this is a non U grid, so maybe the dreaded U/x flyers deck isn't enough to warrant its inclusion? I like most...

Pretty similar to my experience. I would also add that spending a bunch of money every set release on those "improvements" gets pretty miserable too. The notion that expensive (or "higher power") cards make better magic is just consumer nonsense. Lower power cards tend to be more naturally...
