Not to be a negative nancy but even worse IMO. Always looks better than it is. Edit: how has Read the Bones been?

Storm is wicked fun, but I think you'll find it difficult to make it competitive without being poisony. I think it would be best suited for P9 cubes. I've also been doing an artifacts theme in red like Onder's. I haven't played around with tribal too much but squadron picks of cards has been...

Bargain was usually not strong enough. Necropotence was usually stronger and still not too broken, though a bit narrow. Wonder is like, one of my favorite magic cards. It might be time to give it another shot.

I dunno about that, man. He gets RELLY big. I would agree that the size starts to go up exponentially, though, so maybe that data wouldn't be super useful to consider four-drops. Side question: has anyone messed around with customizing robots that affect the draft process...

Hopefully Lurking Automaton will start mining some data about that question.

Great story so far. Looking forward to part 2!

3A - 5/6 2AA - 5/6 1AAA - 6/6 or 5/7 Though I guess it depends a bit on what color A is.

It's been great in our environment.

I think that, at least for me, the issue is being overstated. I certainly do not want people to be drafting mono-blue aggro. The issue is that drafting U/X aggro is made more awkward by the fact that a certain density of aggressive creatures needs to be reached by pulling almost entirely from...

"Man that Birds of Paradise is such a beefy wall it's like not even fair"

I generally would expect an aggro-tempo deck to struggle a bit against another equal-speed aggro deck. They really shine against midrange where regular aggro would have some trouble.

Here's how I see the basic breakdown of my cube colors in unbearably unscientific terms: White is present in the whole spectrum from aggro to control. It contributes to some specific archetypes but has the least amount of durdling (Lucre's point of cutting white). Blue is mainly for control...

Last I played Standard was during that time. I didn't quit because of Ravager, though; that's about the time where I dove headfirst into Vintage. I remember before Fifth Dawn came out, it was all about having the most robust Ravager deck that was as pre-boarded as possible to beat other...

Don't forget about this guy. Everflowing Chalice Here's another double-ramp I've been having fun with. Ashnod's Altar Also, since Lucre brought it up, how have the 6-drop Souls been working out for you? Grave Titan has been gone for a while but some of the others have been concerning me...

Great post, Chris. The only one I truly disagree with is Man-o'-War. It's very uncommon that I cast that card and am not super satisfied, even on defense with non-value targets (bounce their beefiest creature, block a smaller dude). When you get it involved with durdly recursion/Birthing Pod...

Personally, I love this card: Caller of the Claw Though it's not exactly a turn-3 play most if the time.

forked lightning ...though it only hits creatures. reckless abandon I've thought about running this for a long time. I'm not sure how badly I'd want it to be an instant.

Man wizards has really gotten so much better at creating cards with flavor.

I would say only if you have a pretty serious critical mass of artifacts. I took a peek at your new cube thread and saw that you were going to try affinity (looking forward to seeing that btw) so they seem most at home there. I've always wanted Esperzoa to be good, and it would be SUCH FUN with...
