    General Absurd idea: Integrated 1v1 Drafting and Playing

    This seems like a good start. You don't want to have too many choices or your game will be crippled by decision paralysis. Three cards face up at a time in the Command Zone. Optional replacement effect for your draw step, pay 2 colorless and choose one of those to draw instead, which is then...

    Card/Deck Token/Sacrifice themes in Red

    I use both of those themes in my red section as well, and it has been a hit. As Jason said, if you work some of that theme into the other colors, that takes care of the modularity to some extent. A lot of the sacrifice synergies are stronk enough that you don't need to have an entirely...

    General Fight Club

    Alright, I think I'm finally willing to break. Having only allied fast lands irritates my OCD. Can someone link me to their awesome proxy images of enemy color fast lands? On a similar matter, what are people's opinions on the fixing manlands?

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    After today's cube draft, players were clamoring for certain cards to return to the regular draft. Some notables: Windbrisk Heights Shelldock Isle Volrath's Stronghold Gaea's Cradle Perhaps some others. Thoughts?

    General Fight Club

    I don't know if this will work for ahadabans' situation, but here is my experience. I have an aesthetic dislike of proxies. I completely understand why people have no problem with them and I have happily enjoyed playing many cubes that are 100% proxies. I decided that I wasn't going to use...

    General Fight Club

    I understand what you're saying CML, but Goyf isn't really all that interesting. It's vanilla enough that it's unlikely anyone would even notice if it's replaced by something similar. If Birthing Pod were $200, this would be a different story. Then I'd either proxy or suck it up (probably...

    I did exactly this a month ago. Do it. You won't even notice.

    Card/Deck Green 5-drops

    He's especially fun with landfall. It's strong but very reasonable as a 6-drop in my cube.

    I love Kargan Dragonlord. I can't picture ever taking that out of my cube.

    General What is the best retail Sealed environment ever?

    I might have to go with Innistrad. Llorwyn and Time Spiral were also great. We did an Old Ravnica + New Ravnica sealed once, which was quite fun and unique.

    General Polycubing and packages

    That is exactly what I do. I use other colors to denote "double-pick" cards, and so forth.

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    Personally, I would like to encourage an environment where Disenchant is good enough to maindeck, but Shatter is not. I'm really glad they're printing that new Naturalize elf.

    Do you use Perfect Fits? If so, you can just buy differently colored stickers and put those on the Perfect Fits. That's what I do and it works great.

    I have to admit, I rarely enjoy multiplayer. I think this set will be an exception since it is completely designed around it.
