Some good feedback here, and taking a look at it. Good point about curve fillers, and I'll amend my point about Scavenging Ooze but it's mostly about the fact that no one is playing it and the two green decks that do get played: ramp and pod, would rather that slot be something else. For the...

Here are my notes from a 6 man draft last night with 1 conspiracy card per pack, utility land draft, and the latest 360 list: - adding some conspiracy cards seemed fun and to add a lot, but specific numbers could be tweaked, we'd need to consider how to reduce chances of draft mistakes, and...

Otherworldy journey is new. They were cut after I went down to 360 and they never got reps in the old list. I'm hoping to see how it works. To me, MMA is the closest inspiration for what power level I'm going for, so I'm hoping. centaur courser was supposed to be courser of kruphix. whoops...

In the middle of writing a better post, but here's the changes I've been playing with over the last few weeks: http://cuesbey.com/#/f555d1ad-3d9e-4355-a229-7363428c5f83 (red removed, green added, cubetutor post incoming) edit: http://cubetutor.com/cubeblog/9884

Had an inspiration while doing dishes: Searing Meditation

Re-sleeved everything this last week and it was a useful experience to see everything all laid out. Changes (will backfill to cubetutor, which is under maintenance now, so this is from memory): Red - already creature light thanks to upping the spell count, it seemed to be cross-purposes to...

whelp, the wife and I are planning for kid number two so....

I guess Mr Waddell like Stanford? http://twitpic.com/dkea1p

Have a bit of time to today to address your other (appreciated) feedback. I guess, at it's root, the answer to all of the differences in objective power level you point out, is that this list grew organically based on the consistent (though infrequent) feedback over about the last year. Cards...

purely theoretical right now, I don't get nearly the reps I'd like :(

with respect to your comment about curve, I feel like every deck (outside of ramp or pod) I've done has really just stopped about 4 CMC. Here's what I drafted yesterday in a 2-man grid draft Ones 1 Cabal Therapy 1 Delver of Secrets 1 Tragic Slip Twos 1 Snapcaster Mage 1 Riftwing Cloudskate...

The first thing I'm going to custom out I think is the enemy color man-lands This is a pretty interesting take, but as is, the one I really like in my list is W/B and maybe R/W. so far the U/R one is the only on I had an idea for, and basically a take on Kiln Fiend something like {U}{R} to get...

One of my favorite (audio)books is Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. In it, he devotes a lot of ink to describing the sense of entitlement a lot of younger people (myself) have growing up: “I, a product of the New Frontier and Great Society, honestly believed that the world pretty much...

this is where I'm at now

Where I'm at so far, is opinions are: grindy attrition black decks are very rush-able the control and ramp decks pretty easily go over the top aggressive decks have a good mix of evasion and reach/removal and gladly will take a 2-for-1 using that removal to continue the rush

I've been enjoying grid-draft with banned colors for playing, but I could see the merits of a fake-4 man for testing the frequency of different kinds of pieces (e.g. do I have enough discard outlets, fatties, and reanimation spells to support reanimator?) Martial Coup was underwhelming even if...

hey man, I just clicked the happy little tree icon and put in a URL*. What do I look like? Some sort of software developer? * I hotlinked a wikipedia-host image because creative commons is cool with that.

in response to the article. we overlapped around 2 years in college, though I was on the other side of Pennsylvania at Lehigh. I had a similar upbringing/college experience including a very attractive friend of friend asking about my favorite Less Than Jake songs and I responded with a very...

I'll be editing the first post when commander 2013 hits gatherer, but I wanted to say that I've been keeping the list updated with changes from theros: http://www.cubetutor.com/cubeblog/161 been unable to get an 8-man together since august, but hoping to get some 2-mans in this week

I think the idea of a 1-drop cube is really great, and if anyone's looking for more ideas, the "original" list I heard about was Glenn Jones (@secludedglenn) who talked about it a bit in the this SCG article...
