Wow, classy. :rolleyes: I usually wait it out and buy singles nowadays, boosters are not a reliable way to get your cards, unless you order multiple boxes (and even then the mythics are by no means guaranteed).

Nice! I liked the challenge of finding some matching art. Wasn't that easy, until I started using some more unconventional word combinations :)

Ok, I got some more, but they're not Asian-inspired. Vulpa-art: https://www.deviantart.com/vulpa-art/art/Lady-of-the-Lake-732078234 Thomas Biedermann: https://www.deviantart.com/mourkhayn/art/The-Commission-510751007 Actually, lady of the lake leads to a few good pieces. Michael Gauss...

Yeah, I think WotC absolutely nailed the limited format of Khans of Tarkir. Not only was the morph mechanic an insurance to color screw, because you could at least play a gray ogre on turn 3, but the morph mechanic inherently meant a downward shift in power level, allowing the three color cards...

I've built my cube around it. It's much more doable if you limit the number of two-color pairs (and thus three-color pairs) supported. The three-color cards have also seen increased play ever since I introduced the house rule that you get a triland with your three-color card. Three-color...

I don't get to play my cube that much, but I'm certainly going to try it out, yeah!

After seeing LSV's first match (, 5:35), I want to add Pilfering Imp even more, and Nightveil Predator even less.

Hmm... I don't know if that's the better answer :P

Pack Rat?

To a degree I'ld say :) I run a 450 card cube to ensure more variety in an 8 people draft, because when I draft, it's often with 8 people. I'ld say that variety would be just as well achieved with 440 or 460 cards, and those numbers are not a mathematical extrapolation of my draft function. Your...

No, you're right, they are, but that was not what I had in mind. I probably should have elaborated :) See, a veteran player will recognize the cards, and be quicker to recognize archetypes, whereas an inexperienced player will probably have to read at least half the cards in a booster. Under...

That's some serious BTP shit right there :') Anyway, I'm not sure I'm looking for a system that seems to increase the gap between veteran and inexperienced players.

Yeah, an image-basedtheme guide seems like a great idea!

I actually like the math behind 3 packs of 15, because that means in an 8 people draft, a pack will exactly not wheel. I was a mildly annoyed when WotC decided to cut the 15th card in favor of a land ages ago. Applying this same principle, I did a 4 packs of 11 draft with 6 people last year, and...

That's seems like a safer idea, if you double sleeve it's pretty easy to "decorate" the inner sleeve with a strategically placed sticker.

I don't know, I've cube with everything from friends who had last played a game of Magic "back in the day" to hardcore tournament players, and duplicates never tripped any of them up. I do like the idea of visibly marking them though, I might do that if I can find a way to do it inconspicuously :)

A dead, deflated seal pup.

I remember when we were struggling to find enough decent black three drops. The last few years have been a blessing! We now find ourselves in a position where it's not obvious what black three drop to cut for the newest hotness.

It might be accidental, but it fits the style of the human deck, and green isn't traditionally rich in humans, so I think it's an important cog in the WG humans deck.
