I actually use the same Naya art as you! Using the Planechase art is super reasonable I feel, since these never appeared on an actual normal Magic card anyway, and they represent the shards very well. That covers only four of the five shards, however, because unfortunately Esper didn't get it's...

Yeah, I agree with this point of view! Obviously there's stuff like Compulsion and Drake Haven in my cube as well, but those have a very clear role to play in a particular archetype. Zur acts as a sort of expensive Demonic Tutor on steroids as it can fetch enchantments that are inherently very...

I didn't state very clearly in my OP what kind of advice I was looking for, and that's totally on me, but I was actually looking for different perspectives, and yours was definitely appreciated by me! This card piqued my interest when I tested some of the new Commander precons this morning, as...

But not for me? :p

Has anyone mentioned this card yet? Cunning Rhetoric 3 mv means Zur the Enchanter can fetch it in my cube, but even ignoring that, this seems like a pretty sweet card. Either it deters your opponent from attacking (hooray, less damage!) or it compensates you with their cards (yay, card...

Also also, I am totally working some of these names and images into my upcoming D&D campaign. Your comment made me think of the London district Chelsea, which than made me think of bastardizing other place names, adding or removing a letter to throw people off, to create new place names for my...

Haha, sorry for that wall of text :) I hadn't mentioned it yet, by the way, but those watermarks are super sweet! Nice touch!

Adding a quick calculation for my brainstormed draft format. With 8 players, each player sees 11 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 = 53 unique cards per booster opened. With 9 cards drafted per pack, you want to crack 5 packs for a 45 card pool, meaning each drafter sees 5 x 53 = 265 unique cards in...

The first thing that catches my eye is that none of the flavor texts match the pattern set forward by the existing cycle: Mage students [some snappy, short variation of "interested in x"] choose [college name], the college of [college magic specialty]. I am going to suggest new flavor text for...

You don't really explain how you get to the number in the 'total unique' column, but I think I figured it out. Assuming 8 drafters, for a 15 card pack you are going to see 15 (your own booster) + 14 (the booster your neighbour passes to you) + 13 (etc.) + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 (the booster of...

Working on that :oops: It's a long post...

I do have thoughts about that! :) I feel you can't extrapolate this into meaning we should drastically reduce our booster size, since all those cards actually serve a function. Choice is, in fact, the most important function of offering a larger booster size. A smaller booster, say one with 8...

"Just" do as I do and build a second cube... :oops: The big downside of owning a second cube (for me) is that I don't play online, and I can't really squeeze more than one draft every other month into my schedule (whenever there isn't a raging pandemic preventing me from organizing drafts, that...

To be fair, you're not one to mince words, and your tone can be pretty sarcastic, which is already enough to ruffle some people's feathers, regardless of your intent. Pretty Dutch of you to be honest :p It's an acquired taste, but I can attest that my interactions with you have always seemed...

I have to agree here. Maybe it's just because I've been hanging out on the MTG Cube Brainstorming (MCB) Discord channel for a while now, but the MCB folks have been totally reasonable in their posts here, whereas I felt some of my fellow Riptiders' posts were a little more antagonistic than...

Y'all be acting like hobbits and elves didn't fuck. Bezos at least has the balls to make this realistic everyone, unlike this Tolkien fellow, whoever that might be. Why aren't you happy!

I dropped the Borderposts in my last update (pre-Strixhaven). Oops.

I wish I could react with a heart. Take care inscho, hope you find the energy to crawl out of this!

They did print a second UB 1/3 flyer :( (Soaring Thought-Thief)
