    General Unstable Spoiler Unthread

    Wow, that's some responsibility. What platform would you need it for? EDIT: Okay, this took less time than expected. Here you should be able to download an Android version of Urza: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d-_NJOyitzv67ewUqipDcKtCgKgsi_HT/view?usp=sharing I used App Game Kit, which...

    General Unstable Spoiler Unthread

    Procedurally generated effects sounds like a really interesting idea! Generating them via machine learning is, sadly, too far above my scope. Thank you! I was thinking of developing a small app myself. I may do it when I get some free time this Christmas, but I'm not very reliable! Also, don't...

    ¡Urza is alive! https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/unstable/askurza All its abilities seem to be from existing planeswalkers, and can be read on the page source code. Now I'm thinking about creating our own versions of Urza... a customized Urza for each cube on a mobile app! Riptide Urza...

    All cards are the same size, but cards with augment look bigger because of not having a right border. An augmented host will probably look quite big, tho.

    General Unstable Spoiler Unthread

    I'm getting interested in host-augment, since some combinations look very interesting and some hosts look playable on their own. However, as has been addressed here, augment's toxicity is around infect levels or even higher. This has been taken into account for Unstable draft, since the rarity...

    General Rethinking Color Mana Curve

    Now it seems that we do not only need a better way of quantifying difficulty of casting, but it also has to be adapted to each environment. I think monocolor (or almost monocolor) decks are very rare in my cube besides the omnipresent Red Deck Wins, so I tend to avoid multiple mana simbols of...

    General Rethinking Color Mana Curve

    A very interesting topic, though I have not much to add except for the fact that 1WR is easier to cast than 1WW or RR, it just requires the drafter to be in a more specific combination of colors and that is why we usually take care with how many gold cards we put in our cubes. Which, now that I...

    General Ixlan Spoiler

    I find interesting how lately ults are stopping being ults. For this one, for example, you actually get to choose between the three abilities when you drop it.

    Sets Hour of Devastation Thread

    Could you confirm that Imminent Doom checks the trigger condition both when it triggers and when it resolves? I think it does, if it behaves like the evolve mechanic, but just to be sure.

    General Ixlan Spoiler

    Wow, now I'm worried. I didn't look much at the specific cards, but there are more than rares in that image, aren't they? 121 cards, while Amonkhet had 55 rares. That's probably almost a half of the set. EDIT: Nah, not that many cards, since rares seem to be repeated. But all rares and mythics...

    Sets Hour of Devastation Thread

    It seems like a photograph of rare foil Ixalan cards in process of being made has been leaked. Will leave it as a link so you can avoid looking at the spoiler: https://i.redd.it/r7yoylx9ht3z.jpg. It gives a bunch of information, being only ~6 cards.

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I read what you were saying yesterday about the cards that put spell tokens in your hand and got very interested in exploring the concept for a custom set I'm working on. I had a couple solutions for the problem: –Creating a new card type that behaves just as we want. Scroll is just that, and...

    He probably knows what to do with that stick.

    Sets Modern Masters 2017 (MMA3?)

    I think they know that blink is pretty strong with the right targets, but they still enjoy it as a draft mechanic because... it allows players to discover interesting interactions or something like that? Like, one of the things they love to do with draft environments (and most of us too I guess)...

    General Adapting Morph to cubes

    One of the mechanics they considereded for the "upgraded morph" from Dragons of Tarkir, which ended up being megamorph, was what they called "bearmorph", which was morph but costing 2 instead of 3 (you know, like a bear). The reason they didn't ended up doing that one was because it separated...

    General Revisiting "Squadroning"

    Nah, still not. My cube is drafted very sporadicaly, since there is no regular playgroup. A draft comes out whenever I get the time and the people to do it, and I haven't drafted with 8 people a single time. But hopefuly there will be one in a couple weeks, and we'll see how the little...

    I think it says that the last sets have been very interesting for limited environments! Can't wait for Amonkhet.

    General Revisiting "Squadroning"

    I just added Myr Servitor to my list, and since I made proxies for the card, I added an ability at the top, which reads: "Squadron 4 (At the end of the draft, reveal Myr Servitor and ask for three more copies.)" This also opens the possibility of easily adding other squadron cards with other...

    General Revisiting "Squadroning"

    What I dislike about the squadron/ripple/pick multiples is that it makes people have more unplayed picks, and that's a design direction I'm not willing to take for a low reward. I also really like conspiracies for this matter: they make people play more of the cards they pick. Another thing to...

    General Revisiting "Squadroning"

    There were some conversation about this topic in the Utility Land Draft thread, and I've been thinking about it lately, so I think I will leave my ideas here: Infectious Bloodlust maaay be interesting. Would you give 3-4 copies of this for a pick? It was cool in Magic Duels, but that's like a...
