Introduction to pick 3:

I'm so glad you liked them! Also, yeah, funny coincidence here.

ENJOY.

I just drafted for the last one, so I can sit this one out if it's popular.

Sure--by going over the top, I mean that in my draft, few cards looked as if they could generate an overwhelming advantage, which is generally where midrange and control want to be. This is to say that a lot of my choices felt as if they were between different flavors of incremental advantage...

Looks cool! I drafted a RW Heroic deck that I think kicks ass. Payoffs seemed to cluster in RW with enablers in GW--maybe find some ways to spread the love around? The power band feels a little wide to me (Pyromancer's Assault and Glassdust Hulk seemed a little low, although now that I'm seeing...

That was exactly my thinking as well--they're cool cards, and Alara was when I started playing a lot, so they hold a lot of nostalgia for me. It seems like a really fun way to push 3/4/5c aggro, so props for giving it a go!

I'll draft too! Probably not playing, as I still don't have a MTGO account and I don't need another time sink.

Guess who forgot about the cycling deck... But, point of the matter, pretty much everything has been stellar to draft over the last five years. I'd even take the less-good ones (Ixalan, Guilds of Ravnica/Ravnica Allegiance) over almost anything but the best of the previous five, let alone ten...

Oh, absolutely that would be more helpful, but my players would never pay attention to something like that. Besides, it was the first draft ever of the cube, so even I was unclear on what the crucial cards would be. If they'd been draft fiends the way we all are here, I'd have taken a stab at...

I have no clue how to build this particular archetype, as I've never played a cube with this level of fixing before, so I'd love a second set of eyes, especially on my maybeboard. Feel free to make swaps if you're trying these decks out!

For my usual group, only one other person curates a cube and it's really out there. Also, only a few people draft regularly--for two of them, my cube was their fourth (?) draft experience ever, though they'd been playing EDH for about six months by then and could handle complexity. This is what...

Oh, I'm taking a much broader view than you are by including the supplementary sets, which each knocked it out of the park. Mystery Boosters and Modern Horizons 1 are two of the greatest draft experiences of all time (so far) (IMO). Battlebond pushed the limits of draft in a great way, and...

Funnily enough, I was thinking of the WAR proliferate cards when I typed that up! It may have been a hot mess of a set for standard, but I think that WAR is secretly one of the top five draft sets from the last five years.

FWIW, I was on the mono-nongreen aggro plan and passed the chainwalker in favor of a Dryard Militant on P7. Take that data point as you will. I also didn't see much upside to working with either the Elemental or the proliferate packages. They seem super slow/delicate in comparison with ramp or...

Has anyone else run "small storm?" How was it? I'm also vaguely interested in it, but it feels like most cubes either Support Storm or don't have anything with storm at all. I just want Crow Storm to be a real win con.
