Ah, I didn't actually read the maro thing. So I guess we're saying it has prowess from red, menace from black, and unsummon from blue? It still feels too blueish and too strong that way. I guess my revision to the above would be to still strip prowess off and give it Haste if you cast it using...

Seems a bit much honestly, and it doesn't really feel very B to me. It feels like a UR card. What if it got Menace if you used R to cast it, something else if you used B to cast it, always bounced something, and lost the Prowess keyword entirely? A little bit of a pain in the ass to track I...

Weird troll thread is weird

Completely agree with you ahdabans. There are tons of cards that hit 15th pick that are probably still worthy of inclusion. I'd just like to kinda take a peek at this info since I've been running my cube for quite a while without ever examining any last pick data. I also agree that trying to...

Definitely some good points. I guess the subtext that I'll actually do anything with this information is a bit misleading. I already routinely ignore balance comments. I think what I'm more interested to discover is whether there's anything surprising lurking in that 15th pick pile. Archetype...

I've been considering asking my drafters to track their 15th cards for a while now and I've always stopped short of doing it for fear of being a nag, or of slowing down the draft, or of having to find a pen. So, I was drinking alone and photoshopping proxies mid-workweek when I had this idea...

Yeah man... there's like.... violence and nudity and a fantasy theme, come on.

Kinda talking out of my ass here because I haven't looked at your cube or done my own calculation on Innistrad references to "graveyard" but I really like the way you're thinking here. That said, did you take into account purely instances of the word, or are you factoring in card rarity and...

Taking a stab at the templating... I'd change it to: "If you do, search your library for a card with the same converted mana cost as that creature" and put it into your hand." Unless by "spell" you meant "instant or sorcery" but I'm pretty sure I'm guessing your intent right with the above.

Strongly disagree re: Lili. I feel that she scales incredibly well to the power of the environment. Granted, if your environment is a bunch of 1/1 guys or something, maybe then she doesn't scale. Otherwise though, her loyalty values are low enough that she's killable in most environments. This...

I'm pretty sure this is right. I'm drawing a complete blank at the moment, but I'd love to get people's thoughts on other finishers that feel like they kinda have a "type". Lately I've been fucking depressed every time I look at Sphinx of Jwar Isle and such.

Too bad I squandered the joke the first time, huh?

Oooops... that'll teach me to post in the morning. I meant the 'w' was taken out and the 'd' became a 't'. "Sort of War and Peace". And all my shit is proxied, even when I have real versions of the cards, so no fear of devaluing anything :) @Aston I haven't seen the fixed SoWaP in enough...

qft But yeah, I think this is a power level thing. Also, WRT Zur being good enough if it was ETB and attacked.... I'm kinda surprised more of you guys haven't made the jump to just making tweaks like this. When I decided I liked magic again ( and first stop was to rip off the latest version of...

Chalk it up to a freak occurrence of synapses firing I guess...

I'm trying to figure out how I knew that you were specifically talking about her in your original article, and I'm weirded out that nobody else here got it even after you posted this, since you guys talk to each other all the time, have met each other, etc and all I do is lurk. Did you mention...

I can't remember the exact genesis of it, but somebody made hating him cool like a year or two ago. (let's be honest, it was probably CML)

Semi-OT, but is a binder the accepted solution to utility land draft nowadays? Finally got around to trying my utility land stack for the first time last weekend. It worked fine but not everybody could easily see. A binder is more easily passed around, but also doesn't let you see everything at...

I'd argue that Sidisi probably doesn't need any additional support to be good enough, but maybe I'm wrong. I haven't actually played with the card. If you're running Gravecrawlers she seems pretty damn good to me already. The more important point of my post though is that I'd strongly...

Some good ideas here already, I haven't taken much time to dream up more. That said, I'd ditch the idea of forcing yourself to maintain parity across every shard/wedge. Some of them have better options than others and you're going to have to do a shitload of work if you insist on keeping strict...
