    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    I love that I most often hear this when there's Power or Jitte in the pack :P Probably murderous cut? I don't think there's anything here that really blows my lid on power level, so cut is the card that keeps me the most open

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    You're probably right, but I'm hoping more for an earlier spell that specifically doesn't trade all that often, rather than the slightly later spell with 2 power. You figure 1 would be okay? Colorless Flying Sylvan Ranger? I guess Sylvan Ranger kinda sucks... Super Greedy :P Again, it just...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I think adding looting onto a reanimation spell essentially just makes it green :P There's not a huge amount of difference between Planned Awakening and Dramatic Entrance (for you anyways) Weather or not it's too easy it kinda just feels wrong I like Stirring Memories better, though the power...

    As much as I am loathe to suggest a Pitch Arc Lightning (Contagion if you really want to punish your drafters :P) Flameshot seems cool. I'd be careful though, as people have suggested, if your format is about small creatures and early turns, a Free Twinstrike might be too much to handle...

    Shamim's Cube

    Stupid Idea about Sidisi: Kozilek in the ULD? or do you figure Gaea's Blessing would be tech enough? also I'm more excited about Nyan Cat, Roil Shaper once I remembered that you can awaken already awakened lands so you aren't limited on "tokens"

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    I think in that pack I'm on pocket the temple garden and run out of the store :P Oh expeditions. I love that you're the default art now I keed I keed. Yeah I think I'm on metamorph too. There's good cards there, but even in the deck they're designed for, metamorph is probably better. Like I...

    For those who don't know 10 year old draft Advice, BREAD is thus: Bombs Removal Evasion Aggro Dud It's not a bad little acrostic, but as you'll notice it's a bit old. Recent sets have played around with just how bad removal can get before we'll stop first picking it, (See Rite of the...

    General Draft Strategy

    P1P1 is the least important (Well, almost) pick of the draft, so the forum game (While fun, and a great way to get people exposure) isn't really much help in learning draft :p I mean, if drafting is about being in the right colors/deck so you get all the cards while everyone else has to fight...

    May I heartily recommend the limited resources podcast! :D Great guys, a lot of really great knowledge there, but here's lessons from old uncle Chris: -There's (99% of the time) no card powerful enough that it makes your deck better than being in the right colors will (Ie: Grave Titan is...

    I tried him and he was sadly just really awkward. Perhaps my playgroup just doesn't want to read what haunt does, or maybe the ammount of setup for the full -2/-2 on your opponent was too steep (Sac outlet, spare creature, pontiff, mana for above) but he never made a maindeck.

    Ink-Treader Cube (312)

    Ponder: Actually, given prowess Opt might actually be a sweet one. Not sure you intended that comparison, I'm not sure you meant it in that sentence as a card name :p Stormblood Berserker: If this guy ends up being too good, swap a copy for Gore-House Chainwalker or War-Name Aspirant, other...

    Hmmm. It's certainly a unique effect, I'll give you that. I don't suppose this fellow fits the bill? Ascendant Evincar Or maybe this, if you want it on a smaller scale? Minister of Pain I'm not sure the permanence, cheap cost and noncreature body of engineered plague is something you can...

    What's the end goal with this? Like, do you just want a cheaper Curse of Death's Hold?

    The Riptidening—Building my Cube from scratch

    On the other hand, in FSR's cube most of the themes are spread more or less evenly around the colors from what I can tell (Haven't drafted it myself) so perhaps he's the one to talk to? Assuming you want to keep this direction I mean
