Definitely keep me posted on results with pyrocrat. Seems saucy, probably busted.

I think it has legs in low power, and agree with Jason's point that you probably have to find a way to make aggro better if you do this. Re: criticism of wasteland density, honestly people seem to have a hard time squeezing them in. I've only seen one person run four and she stumbled on mana...

I knew the legionnaire traded but didn't want to trade it (which was probably wrong). I'd have to rewatch to be sure but I think the rationale was "I have an equipment that makes this win instead of trading, and I'm willing to spend life to dominate the board". The other one... uh... just...

You can also just add a 4th pack to each drafter in a 6 man, and burn the last 4 cards in the pack. This gives you 44 cards instead of 45, with the added benefit of seeing all 360 cards from your cube. Deck quality should end up slightly higher than an 8 man with this method.

Wadds fixed it up so we're homogenized for the time being. I can solve it with code if becomes a headache to maintain homogenization, but I'd prefer to prioritize other features when I have the time/inspiration to spend working on it.

Just pushed version 1.2 - It now handles grid draft input such as: 1 marsh flats 1 goblin guide 1 marsh flats 3 arid mesa and outputs: Card Name,Quantity,ID #,Rarity,Set,Collector #,Premium, "Arid Mesa",3,34414,Rare,ZEN,211/249,No "Goblin Guide",1,37917,Rare,TD0,B17/41,No "Marsh...

Excellent points on both. Totally didn't think about blinking sculler for a peek. I gotta say, streaming drafts and games has helped a ton already learning stuff about both gameplay and design.

Match 1 Match 2 Draft is still processing.. bleh

waiting on the others. It may not work since they're long videos. We'll see...

Drafted vs KoalaOfDoom (one of my RL friends and paper magic drafters). It was his first time grid drafting and first time playing MODO so a bit rough, but I'll post up anyhow. Draft stream: http://www.twitch.tv/aoret/v/27421384 Deckbuild stream: http://www.twitch.tv/aoret/v/27421705 Match 1...

Everything is capped at 4-of. But yes, 4 wastelands is available. In practice it isn't actually that great (as mentioned above) because you end up having trouble casting your own stuff. You're right though, it's powerful. I do have my eye on it and I'm willing to cap at 3 if it gets outta hand.

I thought it might be cool to have a thread to post little tidbits learned from our cube sessions. These can be more on the design side or on the draft/play strategy side. More and more I'm realizing that if I want to get better as a designer, I also need to improve as a player. I'll start us...

Wasteland numbers vary wildly. It seems like the consensus is that somewhere between 1 and 3 is correct. Last draft my girlfriend ran a BW deck with 4 wastelands and then stumbled on mana trying to cast CC spells and such. I actually ran 0 yesterday because I was two colors with a very important...

Jason expressed some curiosity a while back about how much it'd actually cost to do this with real cards, so I took some numbers from my last draft. We had a 8 players and before the draft I intentionally hid all but 2 playsets of each fetch to see if that would be enough to support the draft...

Would love to get criticism/feedback on the stream commentary. I feel decent about my during-draft commentary (although my draft was poor). I'm almost afraid to listen back to my mid-game commentary because I'm such a spaz when I try to play modo fast and correctly.

Sorry guys, should've saved my deck and didn't, I can try to reconstruct later but on a tight timetable. Twitch highlight: http://www.twitch.tv/aoret/v/27070124 Deck was:

No experience with Ashiok so unsure there. Elesh Norn is super sweet, but I think she falls on the side of being too good IMO. I currently favor Angel of Serenity because she feels a little more fair/beatable assuming you have removal. This is also in keeping with my general preference towards...

I really enjoyed being on the taxes plan when I played safra's cube. It made playing WG aggro palatable for me, which is saying a lot. The only reason I didn't immediately jam these cards into my own cube is that control can barely win atm. If you aren't having that problem I say absolutely go...

Biased green mage agenda!

Oooh shit I forgot about that. Okay, no worries, I'll patch that next. It's simple, just check the dictionary on insertion and increment if appropriate
