I just did a original Ravnica draft on Forge because CML is always raving about it. Is it just me or is the original format way underpowered compared to today's standard? Still an awesome draft though :) Twos 1 Courier Hawk 1 Dimir Signet 1 Orzhov Signet 1 Rakdos Signet Threes 1 Stoic...

Yeah, if you tweak the front end to something cubable, the bestow cost has to, in theory, go up and then that part of the card becomes unplayable :( As a 2/1 for {1}{u} it would be palatable in its creature mode, and maybe the bestow cost is high enough already that the extra power doesn't...

Flavor-wise, I think they did a pretty good job of tacking the enchantment type onto creatures. If it's from Nyx or infused by the gods it's an enchantment. They messed up in the execution on a good amount of the cards (enchantment humans?) but I like the hook. I also like constellation as a...

How 'bout that new morbid spell? Malicious Affliction Haven't seen it in action during my last cube draft, but it looks super sweet.

I don't like the blue hybrid part, that activated ability is pure red, but I do like the concept. Think it should be a 1/1 as well. Lucre's cards also look pretty swell, except the flash on the Cube Siren. If Treachery is nuts, how about an eot Control Magic that grants +1/+1 and evasion?

Grab doesn't untap, that has always bothered me. Otherwise it's awesome.

Dig Trough Time is super scary. The guy playing it went 1-2, so I guess I shouldn't cut it yet, but every time time my opponent cast it this weekend I was trembling. Digging seven deep for two mana at instant speed is just unreal. I mean, Divination is a decent limited card, and that's worse on...

Aggro Aggro/Control (depends really, Smokestack builds with Mogg War Marshal and the like can hardly be classified as core aggro) Are you kidding? Goblin Welder is the sweetest card ever! Combo Aggro/Midrange I don't think you're being honest here. You can call everything that's red but not...

Hmm... I should probably find space for Armageddon, I have a black-bordered portal version lying around somewhere and not using that anywhere seems a bit of a shame :)

I should clarify: Casting Bribery is Fun, because stealing cards is fun, and stealing the best possible creature your opponent plays? Heck yes! Being on the receiving end of Bribery however is decidedly Not Fun. It doesn't matter that we're not cubing Griselbrand or Emrakul, your best creature...

For the record, I think Bribery is Not Fun.

Very big, that's the premise of my (new) cube after all :) http://www.cubetutor.com/cubeblog/17874 36.7% according to cubetutor! That's mana fixing included though, because I put the lands in their respective guild/shard sections. 105 nonland cards, 16 per guild and 5 per shard/wedge in a...

Bribery

Nitpicks: It's Phoenix, not Pheonix, see Ashcloud Phoenix). It's Marshal with one l (double l is Brittish), see Dauntless River Marshal. It should also probably be Leonin Explorer, if you're using the WotC supported race :) Lastly, I'm missing professions (as in creature types) on the white...

Power Taint Steal Enchantment Aura Flux Aura Thief Bubbling Beebles Copy Enchantment Drake Familiar Interdict Reduce to Dreams Saprazzan Bailiff Swan Song Aura Thief is a little too strong in your format, but it exists! Saprazzan Bailliff is sweet though! Also, all of the constellation cards...

Someone pointed Forge Magic out to me. I started my random (modern) card collection with a Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. Nice!

Excellent. I don't mind it much myself, but when both my players and you guys hate the card, I must be wrong :) I already run Sower of Temptation and Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, so there are more steal effects in there. I really, really like steal effects, maybe that's why my judgement is off...

Treachery People are complaining this card is unfair and I should run Control Magic instead. Opinions?
