What are you using to draft? I have bookmarked this thread to revisit it when my brain works and offer advice. I can say that promo and foils were terrible last time I tried something like this on MTGO (and that I used the method Dom described).

I have Ugin's paperweight in a fantasy set based on Scars of Mirrodin, and it hasn't seen much love :( Even Lighthouse Chronologist and Time Sieve get borked by it! Good luck getting players to draft & play it, Grillo; I want to see that terrible tempo loss live! Ripwad, does this cube have a...

Hi Modin! I wondered if you were still working on this recently, as I just made a third one... Glad to see that you are :) Let me preface this with I will be overly brief until sometime after tomorrow; I aim to comment on more of your issues and help foster discussion, but I have an obligation...

Wooo! Exciting :) Just perusing the colors at each rarity, I notice a possible issue in green. While all other colors have a 5-5-creature-spell split (which seems correct +/- one card) in C1, green has 8 creatures and 2 spells. Since C1 cards are represented so much more frequently than other...

Reading this helped me overcome the final hurdle of selling my "competitive" MTGO collection, dismantling the shell of a belief that tournaments populated with the average MTG competitive enthusiast could ever create a positive experience for me. And the reddit link brought me back to riptide...

I think that this was the case, and it really showed which strategies and cards were "premium". Also, the game speed involving decks at the high end of power distribution was often so fast that few "cool" interactions occurred; the gameplay was more-or-less face pummeling and/or heavy domination...

Jeskai Elder Don't cut! ...please?

I always CT draft w/ 7 bots + 15-card packs. Am I doing it wrong? (If not, then each draft should have all of the 50 lands.) Also, I have been thinking a lot about UW auras/heroic and am going to try out this as a card for creature decks: Mystic Veil RE: targeting: In my experience, Eel...

Depending on the speed of the format, the swarm, salvagers and codex shredder *could* start in the SB. I have no idea how much of turn 1-3 is spent under aggression (but seeing some of my other decks, I could see a pretty brutal early game followed by turn 4-6 reactive protection of threats).

It may surprise you to discover that I have sporadic "drafting problems" via MTGO 8-4s; in my FKKing experiences, I wanted at least one Tormenting Voice in almost any deck that was playing but not splashing red (okay w/o if deck was 16-lands, non-Monastery Swiftspear CMC1s or used Bitter...

Thanks for bringing this up! I never see CT comments :( www.cubetutor.com/cubedeck/289088[/url]"] Ones 1 Barbed Sextant 1 Chromatic Sphere 1 Chromatic Sphere 1 Codex Shredder Twos 1 Devour Flesh 1 Echoing Decay 1 Rough // Tumble Threes 1 Phyrexian Rager Fours 1 Auriok Salvagers 1 Entomber...

I must've been tired last night to forget to ask this question: what about 10 trilands over 20 gainlands? Yes, I am obsessed with "modal duals" :eek:, but after a draft or two, players might draft them as such! You are probably right to keep the 20 bouncelands. With a few drafts, a player...

Right now, I am smitten with the following lower-powered cards: Tormenting Voice Temur Sabertooth Ainok Survivalist Honorable mention: clan trilands! These open an interesting design space with ALA's shard trilands. Honorable mention: Impact Tremors. I know y'all have been waiting to jam...

I have been drafting some on CT with the newer edits, and almost all of the decks seem reasonable and fun! Though without human minds (and only the dumb CT bots), I have felt like there are too many lands. Maybe it really is just a bot thing, but I never prioritized taking mana-fixing lands and...

... maybe ... ? :) We are sort of migrating away from the cantrip focus. :( And... I feel like I do need a conventionally-designed cube. (Bonus: I already own a set of shocks!) Here is a good "first, concrete step": which cycling cards are earmarked for inclusion? I think that building an...

Enchant "anything" is an aura :) ... unless WotC ninja-edited a particular card to not be an aura (the hover image printing claims an enchantment- ughhhh). what really gets confusing is trying to figure out what auras are legal for [c]Tallowisp/c]... :( Funny you mentioned this card, as I...

I have been pondering this from a mechanical standpoint based on how I imagine cycling (on mostly lower-powered cards) to affect games. Some wonky ideas: Black-blue has an +[%22from%20your%20graveyard%22]']"additional cost of exiling-things-from-your-graveyard" theme (rooted in ISD Skaabs, but...

March/DTK Update! The tribes (Elementals, Zombies, Humans and Spirits) got a bit of a face-list in this update; I have noticed that the tribes had cards that were almost never played and swapped 'em out for cards that sit better on the curve or are active inclusions. Also, say good bye to the...
