Yeah, 54 seems just right here as well, but my players aren't that experienced and apparently rather draft cards they won't play. Last time three of them managed to stay monocolor. Well... We'll see how that goes after the big shakeup! Building a monocolor deck will be a lot harder after the...

Nothing! Who put this here? I swear I was quoting a post by Jason in another thread! >_>

I'm at 54 in my current 360 cube (the pre-Waddellesque 3-color one) and my players complain that there are too many lands already. (Some of you minst recognize this post...)

I'm at 54 in my current 360 cube (the pre-Waddellesque 3-color one) and my players complain that there are too many lands already.

The most interesting implication is that you can have the consistency of a 360 cube (the themes and cornerstones you want to be there are always there) and the variance of a larger cube (boosters 2 and 3 can be build from a larger pool of cards).

I like the plus one, but I wonder why his minus X doesn't hit flyers? hurricane Squall line Claws of Wirewood Just to name a few. There's such an effect in Khans even, though I forgot the name at the moment. I like Ghost Quartering as the middle ability. Maybe even as a plus ability so both...

I run squadroned Life from the Loam, and my utility land draft contains two each of Tectonic Edge and Ghost Quarter.

Sweet feedback. Sarkhan it is!

Well, I can quell your thirst for simplification with a simple example :) Nature's Spiral "permanent cards" is a thing nowadays :D

Yeah. I'm pulling all 5-color lands. You could always splash of a triland or off-color fetch if you really want to run 4 colors, but I think I want to mainly encourage 2 and 3 color decks. Monocolor and 4+ colors should be rare.

I was planning on an artifact subtheme in Grixis colors, conveniently in Dack's own colors, but you guys are probably right about Dack's power level.

In my tri-cube Polluted Delta can find Blood Crypt, Godless Shrine, Steam Vents and Breeding Pool, i.e. 4 of the 5 duals with basic land types. Each of those duals is in the cube twice, so together with the Basic Fastlands there's 8 dual land targets in the 450 card cube. Also, why would I...

450 card tri-color cube. How does this sound for a mana base: 10 fetchlands (all color pairs) 10 scrylands (all color pairs) 2x5 shocks (Rakdos, Selesnya, Orzhov, Izzet, Simic) 2x5 fastlands with basic land types (Rakdos, Selesnya, Orzhov, Izzet, Simic) 2x5 trilands (Grixis, Bant, Abzan...

Sarkhan the Mad Is this playable in a tri-color cube or should I just go ahead and design my own? (I know this is overpowered and needs to be tweaked. Probably by lowering the loyalty cost. It also contains a typo, it should be "the number of permanent cards")

For my new tri-color cube based on Jason's article I'ld like to include a planeswalker for each supported guild. Which one do you guys reckon plays the best for Izzet (part of Grixis and Temur)? Dack Fayden vs. Ral Zarek

With those stats and that ability it could easily cost just {3}{u}{u}. Ah, but you added deathtouch. That seem quite obnoxious on a 5-toughness critter...

Well, I guess Bant has enough rares and mythics to actually be an option, as opposed to, say, Naya. Screw Naya. There's also some sweet uncommons, so I'm not worried that I'll end up with enough playables. Compared to the wedges though, there's less splashy and playable cards than I had thought.

It's not showing me the images in your post... Edit: And now it is (on my iPad). Strange...

nicol bolas, planeswalker cruel ultimatum doran, the siege tower karador, ghost chieftain These are the tri-color cards I absolutely want to play, and including both Naya and Temur seems silly, so that leaves me with three options: 1: Grixis, Jund, Bant, Abzan, Jeskai > Azorius, Rakdos...

Link. Excellent read Jason! I am actually excited to see what options there are and if this is a promising avenue for my cube. Exploring the funnest guilds together with the funnest shards/wedges (i.e. screw Naya) seems like a fun way to shape a unique draft environment. It also gives us the...
