I like the idea of promoting a creature to commander instead of starting with one. Definitely going to tinker with that. I had the cost as +{2} each time (and not exiling a card) originally. I added the exile because otherwise you're always starting a card up on your opponent, and gaining...

I need help with this. I'm pretty sure this is way too good, just because you can do stuff like guaranteeing turn 2 Bob every game as I did in my last draft, or guaranteeing a turn 2 4/4 Epochrasite as I did in the draft before (though Take Command was a little different then). Is there some way...

Just 6-0'd (12-2 in games) a 7 man draft with this ungodly deck: Ones 1 Dark Confidant 1 Muzzio's Preparations 1 Double Stroke 1 Sentinel Dispatch 1 Take Command Twos 1 Diregraf Ghoul 1 Gravecrawler 1 Carrion Feeder 1 Grim Lavamancer 1 Goblin Guide 1 Falkenrath Gorger 1 Zurgo Bellstriker 1...

Lands in front and creatures stacked? You monster.

I think you are seeing a lot of CoCo just because it's fun, and it is nice to have that early direction in the draft. The bots might also be undervaluing the card and the support. I've found it to be good but not oppressive in my group, but your cube has proportionally much more fuel for it than...

Think I did Aoret's cube last time around. Let's see... Ended up with 19 CoCo targets and 13 Humans. Here's the deck: Edit: Completely missed the "free 4-of fetches/wastelands" part. That makes the Lynxes make way more sense. I probably would have taken Lynxes over Mirror Entity and...

Drafted MDT12's cube. I tried Screencast-O-Matic for the video recording. It added a watermark, but came out okay. I need to find some better software and learn how to use it. Video link I first picked Battlesphere (maybe not the best choice) and tried drafting a controllish reanimator...

My power level is definitely higher than the norm for Riptide. I've tried to keep it at a level where the colors and major archetypes are balanced against each other, which has meant trimming out a few high-power cards, but the remaining bombs are still very bomby.

I like the video idea, tried one myself. Hope it came out okay. Didn't include a recap/review, but I think the draft went well. Sort of a generic-feeling value midrange with some fun interactions. Here's the deck: And the video: Warning, the youtube upload came out terrible, but the audio...

I'm a fan of Lotus Cobra as well. Sometimes you get all the fetchlands and it is awesome, which is even more likely to happen if you're playing more colors and you need the Cobra's fixing more. Sometimes it just produces mana while beating down. Either way it's good. I'd certainly take Wall of...

I missed the "Draw a card" part on Agent. That pushes it over the top. Really, I'd remove the draw and remove the static Mindlock Orb effect. Also, you generally see big artifact creatures as golems and small ones as constructs. So: W Artifact Creature - Construct Skulk U/B, Exile ~ from your...

Voice of Asha is also incredibly OP. It turns any kind of creature-based match into an auto-win if they don't have instant speed removal. Agent of Hegemony seems reasonable. I like the callback to the original colored artifacts in esper. Not sure about Nekusar's Advisor. It's basically...

The best time to cast Appetite for Brains is not on turn 1. It's on turn 3-4, right before your opponent has a chance to play their 4 drops. That brings the probability of hitting something to 86-93% depending on assumptions. I still think the card is too narrow, but it's better than it's being...

Well, that's sensible. Otherwise they might have to do something crazy like making MTGO work.

If you run conspiracies, Double Stroke on Remand is hilarious. It completely changes the functionality from a tempo counterspell into a pure draw engine.

Drafting Onder's cube:

You got exactly half the lands in the cube. How?? I like the draft notes. Going to try that. P1P1 Sword of FoF. Swords are just good. Choice between DTT and Bob. I think Bob is better on average. Between Profane Command and E Witness, I lean towards Witness even if it's a second color...

I wouldn't consider Thassa, Master of Waves, or Skaab Ruinator control finishers. They are more for aggro to midrange builds. I think vennythekid hit most of the important ones, but Meloku the Clouded Mirror is a great finisher as well.

Drafting Tzen's cube Some cards I'm definitely not used to seeing in cube here, like Chronatog Totem and Radiant's Judgment. The land count is even higher than my cube, which I don't see often. P1P1 Lingering Souls was a little risky, but following it with P1P2 Smokestack (and later Braids)...

I just missed the "from hand" restriction on Volcanic Visionary. Seems entirely reasonable with that.
