    Card/Deck Cogwork Librarian

    I agree that I wouldn't call it "busted", but grabbing it 6th pick to have the opportunity to take picks 1 and 2 from the second pack is pretty strong. It's at a very solid power level for my cube. I run two now.

    It should be able to hold 600-700 double-sleeved, I would say (maybe even a bit more). The dividers are made of the same material as the box and are simply rectangles--completely movable. Mine was $80. Links...

    Yes!! Looks like you got it from the same guy I got mine from. I love it so much.

    This is actually how we do it now. It works pretty well, but I still want it FASTER.

    1997 Cube

    So a friend of mine and I have been working on a cube with the intent of eliciting maximum nostalgia. Currently we've decided that our cutoff would be Weatherlight. (We're going to try to avoid cards with art that references the Rath story for flavor purposes.) I know people have said that...

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    Yeah I think they'd go pretty high as picks. Perhaps treat it like Cogwork Librarian. Reveal it when you draft it, but you can swap it for a different one (6 of hearts for 4 of hearts) in addition to your normal pick from that pack. If that's too much, perhaps just reveal it and you can only...

    General How Much Burn is Too Much Burn

    Eric, I think the amount of burn you have up there is entirely reasonable. I once had this complaint from my play group as well, but it was mainly because burn spells can sometimes make red feel uninteresting since they're all very similar, straightforward and well-rounded spells. Burn spells...

    General Fight Club

    It depends on the deck, but generally I think it's better to pay the extra blue to get what you want--at instant speed. This reminds me of the debate about whether it made more sense to run 4 Standstill or 4 Brainstorm in Vintage Fish circa 2005. The conclusion seemed to be that Standstill was...

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    I've thought about doing this before. It would be nice to somehow streamline the ULD process in a more elegant way. If you make the picks draftable, you should be free to make them stronger than they would have been. One pick in draft could equate to doing two or three ULD picks in a row...

    Dig for sure, though Cruise could also be pretty strong I'd imagine.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I think Hordeling Outburst is neat, but Stockpile seems iffy. It's a cool effect but very specific. Maybe if it said "black creature card" instead of zombie.

    I think that should probably be {3}{G/U}{B} since Sultai's home is black. Nitpicking ftw

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Ritual of the Machine This card actually doesn't seem terrible. I've been playing Helm of Possession and that has been pretty solid.

    Soothsayer was one of my favorite cards this weekend. The 5 toughness is super relevant, too.

    I'd like to compile together and discuss the various types of formats people have enjoyed for fewer than 8 players. Battle Box Micro-Sealed Winston Winchester Solomon BANG! Grid Quilt ...I know there's a lot more, so I'll edit this. -------------------------------------------- A 2-player...

    I don't think so, unfortunately. All the promos I saw had the same picture, just foil with the stamp.

    Yup, Ponyback Brigade + Raiders' Spoils/Rush of Battle/Trumpet Blast killed me in several games. Each clan had 8 different rares that could appear as your promo. Which is much better than before, I think.

    Sets [KTK] Khans of Tarkir Spoilers

    It was definitely easier to build in draft where you can focus your picks. Although, on our first go around, we found the draft decks to be less powerful than the sealed. I believe this is due to the fact that in a more traditional sealed setting there is not nearly enough fixing to give you...

    Sets [KTK] Khans of Tarkir Spoilers

    Did a couple of prereleases and a draft yesterday. This set seems really fun and interesting so far. This had a very noticeable effect on the format yesterday, and it really is genius design. Also, when your opponent has fixing for 4 colors on turn 5, it can be REALLY hard to guess what morph...
