After drafting the Nonred Ode to Odyssey/Onslaught Standard grid, I have a few more thoughts on both that particular environment and grid in general: The microcosm of grid defines power level on a much more defined scale than typical cubes. Removal, card advantage, tempo-per-archetype and...

Drafted with friend again! picks: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZhNa_RBugGf1RhwhbIdpJ3edJh3RDy8lb8_ZLdKKXEc/edit?usp=sharing robert's deck (UGw midrange madness) chris's deck (WB slide control): We played 2 matches, with me winning both. I am a bit unsure on Robert's deck, as I...

Mana sinks are why ROE, despite being filled with garbage, was/is successful as a draft format. Glad to see this as a thread topic :)

glad to see the big update; are you maintaining two versions of the cube? also, what's the 2.0 cost like?

Robert did much better than Chris (2-0, 2-0) GB Aristocrat Midrange Chris ended up with a mediocre 4c control deck after trying UW slide/reanimator (and getting bricked by Silklash Spider, which is basically a mythic rare):

Drafting with a friend too lazy to be part of the lab :( Grid Draft List! Pack 1 Pack 2 Pack 3 Pack 4 Pack 5 Pack 6 Pack 7 Pack 8 Pack 9 Pack 10 Pack 11 Pack 12 Pack 13 Pack 14 Pack 15 Pack 16

This set's cards are so wordy and modular. It could be full of cards from the custom forum. I like this.

Proof that the lab just really wants to be a subreddit instead of a forum *Chris hates this.* :mad:

Thank you, everyone for contributing ideas that bridge the abilities of Apprentice Necromancer and Necrotic Ooze! I think it's safe to conclude the following are desirable traits / abilities for the two cards: Necromancer: High power (with some form of evasion); high-impact ETB/LTB effect...

Nevermind the following. . I just read up on the token ability :*( Sengir Nosferatu Here is a strange activated ability similar to Aetherling :) Stuff like this makes me want to see split second.

Apprentice Necromancer Necrotic Ooze I've been wracking my noggin for cards that are good with both of the above. Any ideas of cards with big bang activated abilities? Arcanis the Omnipotent Bloodfire Colossus

Sunforger and Godo, bandit warlord were made for one another. And I love reasons to play open the armory. You don't necessarily need bouncelands, I would reckon. Any format that stalls out with players at moderate life totals will appreciate mana dumps. I would imagine Sunforger with some of...

It's on the bench; to come in if slide control is underwhelming! I want to tighten up the color pair strategies some (and get more synergies involved); the chopping block to that is: Wall of Omens (prefer Thraben Inspector in this roll, as it's aggressive and mana is required by the Slide...

Messing around with a newer "Low power" grid... that is somehow a mashup of Odyssey & Onslaught blocks with ... Eldrazi. Here is the brainstorm. Nonred Grid: Ode to Odyssey & Onslaught: http://www.cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/69690 Blue-White Graveyard Careful Study Archaeomancer Resurrection...

One big thing I've discovered from creating grids: aim for a lot of overlap in a cards' application. Hybrid mana cost and generic mana costs are big boons in this area for lower cmc cards in aggressive strategies. I think i own 12 phyrexian revokers because of this. ...

Venny, i am similarly interested in making a grid for kaladesh limited. I'll try to chime in add often as possible, but I'm in a brutal work period until end of Jan. If you ask Qs, I'll endeavor to answer! Play some duplicates and triplicates of staple cards and removal. Rares: yes! Omit...

Maybe a small wiki is what the doctor ordered? Also, cloudblazer talk had me wondering: how had split second performed against value ETB creatures? I want to build a grid with astral slide and cloudblazer, but I'd like to try to arm decks with answers. Was thinking disenchant effects in...

Magus has been underreceived in my Med Mage grid, probably due to lesser amounts of red reach and lots of instant speed answers (of which red wants to avoid while adding to 20). I am going to look at it again in another format (maybe fantasy set). I guess med mage grid occupies a power band...
