Again, grid drafting was TONNES O' FUN (tm). I especially like the lack of a color in the card pool, but no matter how hard I try (started with the notion to try RB-based), I cannot seem to assemble an aggressive deck. Here is my pool/deck. If this was a real MTGO Limited option (with ULD...

for you! maybe this one won't need a lookup :P

i thought this non-creature art would last longer!

Unyaro bee Sting yavimaya gnats my memory thought it was the former, but upon inspection, it is the latter. Yav Gnats has never been on MTGO ...for some reason.

first was random, now I sought out a gem:

I started working on a powered cube twice (but never made it to a full list tough project!). Maybe you can gain some inspiration from my work. The most recent go was an attempt to integrate some conversations I've witnessed and participated in here. My big goal was using multiples liberally to...

How did the decks perform? How do you draft your ULD lands?

I've found tappers to be scarier in aggro decks: they make it very hard for a slower deck to attack while maintaining defense and can remove two blockers. It may be the best defensive tapper, though.

Look at a cube where you think this might see play and filter by power 5+. Whenever I've tried one of these cards in a lower power environment, it ended in the sideboards of even my own RGx decks. Ferocious and cards like Elemental Bond or Triumph of Ferocity seem much easier to trigger, but...

I played one of these about 5 years ago and this is what I remember: Archetypes were: "Wildfire" artifact ramp-control, Goblins (aggro or midrange), blitz aggro, aggro venturing into midrange, all-in red (Seething Song, Sneak Attack, Mana Flare and big CMC creatures). Enchantments were very...

There are some interesting implications to running ~25 moxen: One mana cards lose some of their effectiveness. Many decks will have a mox or three and be looking a turn ahead on the curve. RDW doesn't need as many Jackal Pups if it hits a critical mass of Lightning Mauler and friends...

I tried it and was not impressed. Would rather play Basilica Screecher for an extortion machine or the Vampire hexmage for reasons grillo mentioned. Though, Thrull Parasite might be okay in a format with a lot of bestow/equipment/bloodthirst, where its quick board presence can be improved upon...

CubeTutor Draft (thanks to champion account) now 100% represents paper drafts. I am "testing" in prep for a large purchase. The big changes involved slimming the pool down so that it made exactly 48 15-card packs, removing many multicolored cards to add more flexible mono-colored (and...

Rude Awakening WAKE UP SHEEPLE

It's amusing to think how blue dominated latter-day Extended but hasn't been able to get a solid foothold in Modern. It must *really* need Chrome Mox or Sensei's Divining Top. Whatever happened to the UWR control deck?

My Modern experience is all pre-2014, but Twin was an abysmal deck to play against when it drew a nice mix of combo and protection. I've heard it kept the noninteractive decks in check, though, as it can disrupt them and then combo itself quickly thereafter, so it'll be interesting to see if...

I forgot completely about 1337 5p34k. Thanks for pointing it out! This Star Wars/Ghostbuster mash-up fan art reminds me... this forum is "missing" a fanfic thread.
