    General A Thought About Two Player Drafting

    I'm choosing some thread to resurrect on the subject of grid drafting, since I heard a great suggestion from this week's chatcast and did two different 2-man grids with color bannings. Randomly ban 2 of the 5 colors as you're laying out, skip over: a mono-colored card in a banned color a gold...

    General Cubing at big events

    I've brought my cube to the only scg open I've been to in the last year and unfortunately never opened it. Perhaps an analogous situation is me lending out my cube to a friend when they draft at their other friends. I don't worry that much about theft because I liberally proxy using a color...

    ugh, those being colorless spirits are kind of a downer given honor of the pure and crusade. I don't think I realized that before (I keep forgetting about this card in my list though)

    I like flame jab a lot, may sleeve that one up

    this is a blank against every* creature at 3 CMC or less, so like LSV said in his set review from innistrad: so, are you interested in removal that's narrow in this specific way, in a color that has a lot of point removal options?

    Cube Tool How do you want to enter a cube list into a computer?

    people who used this and were all like "bah, tooltips aren't working for split cards or names with weird characters" GOOD NEWS, that's fixed: https://github.com/rdennis463/lambic/issues/1

    Grid Draft Support?

    that would be a sweet one. CubeTutor is java on the backend and running on cloudbees

    The magic box guys go: twitch to YouTube, then YouTube to mp3. In case you still want to do something

    General What did you buy for your cube today?

    I actually backed it too at the $100 level, it was more of a splurge than a considered investment though :o, hope it works out

    if you're like me and balked at the upfront cost, then remember how much ramp (both land and spells) you're playing and there's probably some relatively easy cuts (the 3rd llanowar elf, one of the cultivates, something like that)

    according to http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Help.aspx#advancedsearch gatherer accepts regular expressions so something like: m/(.+:.*)(.+:.*)(.+:.*)(.+:.*)/ would match cards that have 4 or more lines with a colon, and in current templating, that _should_ be close enough to activated...

    Cube Tool How do you want to enter a cube list into a computer?

    http://rdennis463.github.io/lambic/ updated with a different navigation via buttons instead of the tabs; this is because the old way put EVERYTHING in your webpage all the time always, and that's real slow. The new way is only taking the hit on rendering one thing. Also, the text box on the...

    Card/Deck Green Aggro

    good, but always part of some mono-green monstrosity that's so far been underperforming. Like, Wolfir Silverheart into Garruk, draw 8, then die to 2-power fliers the next turn.

    I'm on the fence; I like the effect, but seems parasitic. I'd almost prefer a kiln fiend

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    perhaps, my drafts since breaking singleton have been pretty small so I'm unsure how much to respect the results (on the one hand, maybe 6 is the best I'm going get and should design around it)

    my latest build has cloudthresher in at 6 (along with baloths and titan) and I'm curious to see how it'll play; since I get to grid draft with some co-workers tomorrow

    Card/Deck Green Aggro

    really reconsidering stormbind once I realized that multicolor red cards in my cube are somehow mostly 4-drops*, including all of the R/G cards (Bloodbraid Elf, Huntmaster of the Fells, Ghor-Clan Rampager) I have a couple of green sources of card draw: greater good momentous fall harmonize...

    I've been toying with making U/R a spells-matter combination: - upped non-creatures relative to creatures for both colors (most of my other colors are largely creature) - doubled up on delver of secrets, young pyromancer, and guttersnipe - used most of the izzet slots for cheap spells...

    Card/Deck SCD -- Glory

    I see what you did there. I've become wary of protection these days, and white isn't a particularly graveyard-focused color for me, but I could see it working. I might be more interested in Valor if only for the continuing mana commitment if I was all-in.

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    I'm running 4x birthing pod and my players have noticed some green weakness against flyers. They're not wrong and I'm going to try some penumbra spider's at the 4 (I don't run vengevine). I then noticed that it's kind of nice to get some "free" pod activations. I'll report back.
