Thanks, sigh! I am excited to drudge toward finalization. The interaction would be intentional. Side note: One thing i want to write about at some point is the pick dynamics of grid versus conventional draft, and how cards must be selected to influence the pick process. It feels a bit...

More M-origins Musings If I were to change Reave Soul to Last Gasp, it seems only ~5 creatures would be positively affected (don't die to Gasp but do to Reave). The change feels healthy, though, to add some interplay to combat and auras. I also feel like Death Grasp should change to a card...

I prefer the art of Coral Merfolk to Azure Mage, that of Sky Skiff to Smuggler's Copter and am on the fence between Glory Seeker and Knight of Cliffhaven. The art of Yavimaya Wurm is really bad, but I'm sure it doesn't reflect on Steve Belledin's character. That has to be some WotC art...

I just buy cards for what are essentially expensive scrapbook projects. Cmon, btp hasnt played a game since 2012, and Y'all are still going to GPs.

Thank you again for the well-thought-out feedback. I have a proposed set of changes based on your feedback, which I will use to conclude this post. RE: card advantage. This may be the first time that I've designed a nonblue Limited environment, and it seems that I feel into the design...

I think he was disappointed that he didn't win a game, but during games one and two, he seemed generally enthused. I do not know if he'd want to try it again, but I did suggest that he try it with his own cube (so who knows what'll happen). And thank you so much for the feedback! It summed up...

Grid Fired!: A Paper M-Origins Story Went for a stroll to the local gaming haunt this weekend to proposition a game of grid... and had success! Grabbed a beer and cut out my mini, laminated tokens in an attempt to generate some curiosity. It failed, but look at these little cuties. I highly...

One plausible theory: Someone from the (format) super leagues played with some wotc employees with their cube and that is the the inspiration for this contest. It was 528 cards with a few conspiracies themselves in it and a card or two not added to Magic Online. After some chitchat, the wotc...

Not having a singular vision is too similar mtgo's current offerings. Sorry, Jason.

tribal cube, a true pauper cube, an innistrad cube (as the nonmechanic "thematic" entry) and a multicolor cube

Not contacted and haven't seen any mention of contact around the usual haunts. WotC has a Oct 16 announce date iirc. Also, safra, you da best

For some reason, I always think you're running a lower-powered design because of the 'ktk of alara' moniker. D'oh! :) How would your lands look like w/o customs?

Haven't finished thinking out the following ramble, so take it in as a rough draft.

Has anyone tried : Thalia's Lancers Bonus points if you're running noncreature legends!

Random note: I think I want to remove Void Stalker#3 for Frantic Search or Mana Leak#3 in MEDMAGE grid Edit: Might also consider cutting Thick Twice and adding Preordain (in which that Void Stalker may become a Preordain).

Grid Drafting! I've finally put up a forum post. Feel free to grab another forum member and draft this! (I think some of the new additions are missing, so if anyone buys cards in order to play this, lmk and I'll reimburse.) Nongreen Meddling Mage Grid Grid Drafting! Pack 1 Pack 2...

I was thinking of the implications of something similar. For example, two-color decks splashing a third would have 3n picks to get their third color (where 'n' is how many groups of 5 of these you included). I haven't *reallllly* thought about it, but it seems interesting. Sadly, the logistical...

Exactly! The niche card support is one of the big draws to designing for the grid format. I'd love to see a lower-powered graveyard grid (possibly with a lands theme). The set-inspired grids have felt pedestrian, so I would work on going far beyond retail limited for inspiration (unless you...

My brain is not parsing out your question correctly; would you please restate it? And thank you for the interest! Kirblinx has a lot of fantastic pieces of feedback scattered throughout our grid sessions if you want to consider some other choices prior to making any decisions...

Thanks for enjoying, Alfonzo! The genus of this rule was a desire for some level of uncertainty that a particular card or combination of cards will show up in any given draft. Since the grids are being drafted in 16 three-by-three groups, 144 cards are needed for a grid draft and anything...
