    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Dimensional Breach seems reallllly weird. Maybe, there is a green-white ramp strategy in a lower power format where it works. Or maybe some red-white Wildfire. Speaking of red and low-powered, I am convinced that Magus of the Wheel is a wonky card. Magus of the Wheel

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    Got in quite a few grids this vacation weekend (of which I will slowly use to update)! The big takeaway was the med mage grid's "aura" theme could not be supported, and in an effort to make the creature decks interact more with the Replenish deck, there is an archetype change: black-white is now...

    In a single elim, went 3-0 (bringing in Sever the Bloodline versus monoblack) against mono red control, ??? no show and monoblack value creatures- 2-1 record in matches for each win. too bad wotc didn't work to refine this, as it seems like it's on the way to being a fun moderately powered...

    It could come back in! Yeah, i am a little wary about the increase in power, but hopefully it will lead to better drafting and games! We will see.

    General Minimum Deck Size

    Hi Jeff! I've ran into this problem with some of my fantasy sets, and the best way to address it was either (1) remove some of the generically good cards to bring down the power level or (2) remove the lower power synergy cards and then create new cubes/grids around them. Whenever you change the...

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    After the games this weekend (go #1, go #2), I am thinking about a *large* update again... In actuality, I think very little is changing, but I want to address some low performers, tweak numbers and build on auras more. Also, the 6$ Predatory Nightstalker is getting the ax for a more exciting...

    M-Origins Grid #2

    I drafted a solid green base, but didn't pay attention to my secondary color until it was too late... I initially tried a tokens/ramp build, with miscellaneous splashes, and never settled on a build with which I felt really comfortable. As Kirb alluded, I tried a variation with the Gaze of...

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    Had a good grid session with M-Origins#1 in the games forum, but I think that Fill with Fright needs to become either a better discard spell or something (1) probably not a creature, (2) not removal and (3) not card advantage. I don't see the card ever being selected on purpose (and then rarely...

    M-Origins Grid #1

    Had a chance to draft this grid against a friend yesterday, and the games were pretty fun! Often, a deck came out of the gates quickly and there was back-and-forth action from turns 3 to 8/10. Generally, each deck had a plethora of action with the bounce+scry lands and subtle (or not so subtle)...

    The Penny Pincher Cube (360)

    Any advice for building this without the energy subtheme? Does it involve finding green cards that pivot between a stompy-aggro approach and +1/+1 counters? Also, I may relax the budget some... I suppose I should do some investigation before asking too many Qs :)

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    Med Mage & M-Origin Grids updated in Forum Games The Med Mage Grid's power level seems to be steadily creeping up. The primary changes were (1) removed one of each of the four main guild multicolor cards for more monocolor cards, (2) gave a big bump to blue (including Vendilion Clique and...

    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    Got a M-origins and Med Mage grid in this weekend... going to make some knee-jerk changes in the hopes of balancing color potential. Generally, it was fun, but: M-Origins: red-black control seemed to overpower green-white midrange. will adjust to less removal in black, a teeny bit of green...
