Double fetches? :eek:$$$:confused: Gooby pls I have family I wonder if breaking singleton on my favorite card design in all of Magic to the tune of, say, 5-10 copies, would be good for the environment. In my test drafts on CT, fixing always trips up my super-frickin-cool 3.5-color cross-theme...

Also don't forget that it gets better as your overall curve gets lower. There are tons of good one-drops these days worth countering.

Ah, crap. I knew that post was missing something. 450.

I cannot for the life of me get those tags to work. I even copied out of the tag tutorial once, no dice. Codex Shredder is legit, man! It mills Villain AND lets you Regrowth at instant speed! I mean it's no Sphinx's Tutelage but you can't recur Tutelage with your Trading Post anyhow.

Necro time! Let's say you have a 450 Cube where people are typically going to draft 3-color decks, but are totally fine drafting 2-color decks or 4-color decks as well. It's not got none of them there Titans or Cat King or that Japanesey Sword, but it's not what you'd call "low power level,"...

Okay, so here's a deck I really liked. I actually tried to force goodstuff and ended up with a deathrattle/graveyards deck that can transform into (low-powered) Tinker out of the board. Here's my mainboard for those who don't want to click the link: Dead Weight Vampiric Rites Codex Shredder...

What would cube even be if not an excuse to play Upheaval? It's not like i can play it in edh. Anyway maybe people are afraid of the diamond's drawback?

I think I like Marsh Flats there. You've got the Mom Bomb, decent removal, a source of reach... And Flats really sets you up nicely for later picks as a fetch that can get any W/x dual. I don't really like the White and Red cards this pack offers in the same deck as Mom (except Thalia, who is...

I wonder if there's a way to do like a Pick 1 Pack 2 game. Like, put up a pack and say, "you drafted X in pack one, what do you do?" That might be a more challenging pack game, but i dont want to COMPLETELY derail this thread. Also chris do you mean you love hearing "whats your second pick?" Or...

Then again, in this cube, metamorph has a best-case of, like, serenity/aethersnipe/zombie mike/conqmanti/terrasty/scuttling, and an average case of murderous redcap... So while it is a super-safe pick, it doesnt really break anything. Okay, for this pack, what's everyone's SECOND pick?

Hmm, should i be rethinking metamorph's place in my new list?

Some pro whose name escapes me (they all look alike to me, sorry) wrote a thing once about how when he's drafting for stakes, he always tries to draft a 2-1 deck instead of trying to draft a 3-0 deck, failing, and going 0-3 or 1-2. His strategy was, in a nutshell, leave yourself as open as...

Since my new cube is finally draftable on CT (though not hardly finished), here's a pack from it: Student of Warfare Dissolve Vines of Vastwood Curse of Stalked Prey Genju of the Spires Temple Garden Phyrexian Metamorph Warden of the First Tree Nemesis of Mortals Lodestone Golem Murderous Cut...

It's a problem I'm aware of. I'll keep an eye on what decks are getting made and what decks aren't once we start drafting the thing. I have plenty of time between cube sessions to troubleshoot. Speaking of decks, you can see some of my pitiful attempts (actually I think they went okay) at...

Okay so in my first draft I tried to go black with P1P1 Grave Titan and P1P2 Thoughtseize... then remembered what this cube is XD The second draft went a lot smoother and ended in a pretty typical (but fun!) Izzet Prowess build.

I'm actually running a lot of these suggestions already. The two i put up are, indeed, super fringe. I think Armory is the one i'm gonna try, because ive got the counters thing going on, but i doubt itll last long.

The colorless section's first draft is up! It was honestly easier than I expected. With this in hand, I think I'm ready to get this thing together on paper as soon as the BFZ cards come in.

Good, good. Time for an equipment fight! Vulshok Morningstar Champion's Helm Armory of Iroas This fight's not to the death like my Black finisher fight. Let's just compare and contrast some of the "I can't believe you're not running Jitte" equipment, with Morningstar as a base for comparison...

Uh, maybe? I'm honestly a terrible drafter and can't read anything but the most obvious signals myself, so it hasnt been on my radar yet. But, it's a good note. My ideal scenario for the 5-color theme scheme is that drafters will more or less keep building 2-3 color decks with the occasional 4-5...
