Chris brings up a really good point, that you don't need to (and probably shouldn't) do direct ports of decks cross formats. Their will be some cases where it works, but generally I think it pays dividends to think critically about what the deck is really doing, and how to recreate that feeling...

As far as power level is concerned, I would go through and cut all of the remaining mythics, they all look pretty busted here. As for possibly over powered rares, I found these: siege-gang commander zealous conscripts dungeon geists alesha, who smiles at death goblin rabblemaster Not...

How do you maintain an eternal format, with a non power max foundation, without bans.

lets ban some judges!

They kind of have to follow some banning schedule though, regardless of the pro tour. Eternal formats are usually very much "anything goes" unsupported formats with minimal bannings. Modern came out the gate with a specific vision as a "turn 4 format" where blue wasn't going to be the dominate...

Times change though, and now they've backed themselves into a corner. They designed the modern format on the basis that they were going to produce a certain style of format, distinct from the way eternal formats normally work, and to achieve this wizards had to introduce an extensive banlist...

I would like to see snapcaster mage at rare, goyf at uncommon, serum visions at common, inquisition at uncommon, fetches at rare, FOW at rare (or uncommon?). The more times they reprint wasteland at rare, the better. I would also love to see inkmoth reprinted. Honestly, they've managed to...

I will admit it dosen't feel right for fow to be a mythic.

Is that wasteland art supposed to be a withered library of Alexandria? FOW art looks great

Madness brainstorm Edit: is this real?

Yeah, one of the things that I like about them is that they often are very bad at protecting themselves, which means you have to actually craft a game state with them rather than just jamming and going way up on board.

I feel like tarfire just got a whole lot better.

I don't know who this Lindsay fellow is, but clearly he is a man after my own heart. Adam Thomas, the guy who writes "under the hood" at magic madhouse, had some interesting observations about planeswalkers, namely that they are really pushed for cube. The reason being that wizards designs...

Feeling some Fremdscham right now.

I would suggest skimming, he likes to pontificate about how how much he dislikes the pauper brewing community from 2013. :rolleyes: Common Deckbuilding Mistakes part 1 Common Deckbuilding Mistakes part 2 What I have been really looking for is an old set of articles by a pauper brewer named...

So, skeletal vampire is going to go, driven by an epiphany about how the game is supposed to work and what makes it fun (and kirblinx's subtle suggestions). I've been reading e. hustle's not particularly well written, but at times insightful articles about deckbuilding in pauper, and came...

I've thought of a couple variants of this, since I have all of the cube draft deck lists I've done on Modo still there. One is that I could just build those literal decks, and play those. The other is that I could treat the cube list itself as if it were a format list, where you could pick...

Mystical is pretty sweet if you run it with terminus. The problem with using these tutors as value pieces is that you go down a card when you cast them. If we are going to run situtational tutors my vote is demonic consultation and lab maniac in the same cube: that way I can tutor for humpus...

Interestingly enough, I've been going over this horribly written (but insightful!) article by a guy that was a big deal in the pauper brewing scene a couple years ago, and came across this exert, which I think applies to our tutor discussion. Edits are mine, translation from the Latin. It...

ahem... goblin sharpshooter Also, basically 3cc plague wind.
