Lessons Learned My Group and How I Got Feedback My group is a bit bimodal in terms of their drafting experience: four of us, (Myself/Esper, Temur, Jund, and Golos) have a fair bit of draft experience, whereas the other four of us (Lucky Boros, Unlucky Boros, Ninjas, and Simic) tend to...

I had the joy and privilege of having my cube drafted last weekend with a full 8-person pod, and it was awesome. I owe a huge thank you to the other seven folks who helped me draft and to everyone else here who has helped me get this cube to where it is today. Now, the part we're really here...

I'd agree with Mondschwein and LadyMapi on not wanting to test most of this set with the notable exception of the spell lands. (And the Blue Made-For-Commander changeling, because I feel like you can do some Dumb Stuff with that.) This cycle seems like a great option for land-based strategies or...

Oh, you can Foretell cards at instant speed?? That's not at all how I thought this worked, but now that you say it, it makes sense. Going back to the announcement, WotC saying that you may Foretell at "Any time during your turn" sure does imply that you can activate it at instant speed, but I...

Err, sorry--I mistyped there and thought it wouldn't go beyond the original discussion so didn't correct it. I meant to ask if a creature without an ETB effect could pass the Dennis Line in a cube with removal roughly equivalent to a Modern environment. But yeah, Omnath totally fits the question...

And a card! It replaces itself! This is bananas! It's a great signpost for UW flying that's not a lord, though.

You know, I was down on White for not getting new toys this set originally, but between Usher of the Fallen, Reidane, God of the Worthy, and now this, I'm very excited. Like, look at this bird. I'd have settled for a 1/1 first strike flyer, but this is even better, though the difference will be...

It's a great combo with Stuffy Doll from a few pages back, that's for sure. But beyond that...butts tribal? Enrage? Really aggressive decks in the late game with a bunch of potential trades on the board? Specific death triggers that you want to activate? It's worth noting that it's not "until...

Oh yeah, that was a good one! Dennis is a great name, but...he has trample, not menace. That's absolutely reasonable about Rhino being better on average than Angry Emo Angel in an environment in which people can be expected to have Doom Blade. I feel like I need to host a round table...

1) Is it? I honestly don't know, I've never played a Rhino. They're pretty damn good, but a Serra Angel + Removal + A Double-Striking Serra Angel seems pretty good too. 2) The rhino is named Dennis???

That's really good to know about the bots! And good to know that the top end is attractive enough. I've been wondering about the number of burn spells--by my last count I had 13, and lost one in this update, so maybe you getting 6 can be written off as an anomaly, what with the bots...

Hey Japahn, That was quick! I really appreciate the draft. I've noticed that both you and TrainmasterGT have drafted Boros control at various times. Why did you draft it? Did it seem exceptionally powerful? Did Boros aggro not come together? Are my gold cards especially control-focused? Or did...

Big Day Out Update--Commander Legends and Early Kaldheim My draft group is taking a swing at my cube on the 16th, so I'm dusting all the corners and carefully arranging my coffee table books. This will be the first time I have a group of real, live human beings playtest the cube, so I want...

Would this also work well? I have no experience with Unity of Purpose, but this always seemed fun to me. Cards + combat trick is nice. Inspiring Call

Uh, just want to point out, Unleash costs {2}{W}{W} and Serra Angel is {3}{W}{W} for the exact same body (token-based effects aside). This is WAY better than Serra Ange, and if you discount the Foretell cost of {2}, you can get TWO Serra Angels for the PRICE of ONE! Seems bonkers to me, I'm...

I will run Mammoth Growth for the flavor text alone. Also, the Rakdos saga looks sweet, I agree. Also also, I think that in some ways even just having one Foretell card in a color can still have mind games associated with it. Once the mono-Green foretells something, if you only have Mammoth...

Oh, absolutely, but a) it hadn't been mentioned this time yet and b) I don't know anyone else who actually runs as many as I do--I'm not joking when I say I run 10 of them, and I'm also not joking when I say you should at least consider running a bunch of them. In fact, let's make this...

Unfortunately, I think Trainmaster is right on Hokori. I do the exact same thing with bicycles and horizon lands, Velrun! And, I have a solution to wanting the cycling lands. May I present to you: Ash Barrens I run 10 of them, which may be overkill, but they're good, albeit mediocre...
