    I'm Going Gaga for Grid Drafting

    Updated 2021.07.16 - update to approach & methodology For those who haven't read Jason's CFB article on 4c grid, I suggest doing so prior to continuing on: http://www.channelfireball.com/home/grid-tenchester-and-cutting-a-color-from-the-cube/ Why am I obsessed with grid drafting (beyond it...

    General Too Many Lands

    I've drafted four cubes with "free" cards: Two with ULDs. With minor fixing lands included, the Rochester component at the end felt a little imbalanced (when my deck was feigning for another fixer, and I was late in the pick order). It didn't really change the "cube-ness" of the experience...

    General Too Many Lands

    I have a noncyclic manabase in a grid that has seemed to work out well. Maybe Kirblinx can add to it as he had suffered the design on a few occasions. http://www.cubetutor.com/visualspoiler/59149 Auntie's Hovel to support gobbos better than control. WB painland to support Cabal Therapy into...

    General Too Many Lands

    I like dual color lands that decks will play if they only have one of the colors: Temple of Deceit Dimir Aqueduct These lands have subtle spell-like qualities that warrant inclusion for non manafix reasons. There is no reason for them to go toooo late and provide free or useless fixing.

    The Music Thread

    Sadly, I couldn't get into the CRJ album (as i do enjoy some bubblegum pop with female vox). Right now, I'm hoping to see another Hayley Stewart involved project (darkwave synthpop stuffs). Not 100% on the songs, but i LOVE her voice

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I won a mbs som som draft where i kept no lands on the draw. .. and curved out to turn 5. Mss and nms are two of my favorite all-time formats. More-so than Isd x3. The bombs can be annoying, but drafting had soooo much tension.

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    A friend and I made "Chess" decks patterned after a Duelist magazine article. I got the white deck. Who do you think won more? Black Knight Unholy Strength VERSUS White Knight Holy Strength

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    I have this in my Pikula tribute grid, but it's yet to been played. Hoping to see it in (1) Replenish/Starfield of Nyx, (2) 4c control or (3) midrange RW (with Thick-Skinned Goblins).

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    Love this as low powered. I thought lifelink / spell fx (sofi, etc.), and then evasion as the most egregious abilities to grant shroud critters. You can also add first strike/double strike to fight this type of creature. Probably acceptible with only a few cards that turn it into a sphinx of...
