Opposition creates miserable games, even if it's not too good.

I've run Fastbond for ages and a lot of drafts it doesn't even make someone's deck. When it's good it's very good, but it does come with some fairly severe deckbuilding requirements. That said I have recently been thinking I should down- or side-grade to Exploration just to rule out that 5%...

You can't fetch Embereth Shieldbreaker with Goblin Matron.

The problem with legacy is that there aren't really any budget lists, as even the cheaper decks have at least a few expensive cards in them. Your best bet is looking at mono-colour decks, of which there are a few, but they tend not to have a lot of staples that you can easily transfer over to a...

Do you have any legacy cards already? Some decks have cheap parts and expensive parts, but the expensive parts can be stuff like fetches, or Cavern of Souls or some other modern staples.

3 mana activation cost really kills this one for me, but I could see it finding a home in a slower environment.

The tokens should really be 1/2 Human Soldiers.

Why is he called Kenrith? I thought that was their surname. Is his name Kenrith Kenrith?

I'd be tempted to try that at 1 or 2 mana but without the ETB trigger. And make it into a sorcery. It's a really neat design.

I don't mind Geist so much because a 2/2 is so fragile in combat. If you have easy ways to make it unblockable, it's a lot more obnoxious, but as is I think it's fine.

That still sounds like several hours of repetitive work, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Do you do this for every card? That sounds pretty labour-intensive.

Obviously the exact opposite of Kitchen Finks is.... Geralf's Messenger I put Finks in my gold section because it can be used, and is wanted, by Green and White decks about equally. I agree that it's not super important where it goes, though.

Yeah I could just say "all basics are snow if you want" and be done with it, but should there be a cost to being able to play with this card? In MH draft you have to spend picks on snow lands to be able to cast the undercosted stuff, but I would just be giving it away for free. I don't really...

I've had Fastbond for a while and I was actually thinking about going the other way. Fastbond is broken when it's good and quite bad when it's bad - my assumption is that Exploration is still bad when it's bad, but merely good when it's good. I'm still not entirely sure which deck wants this...

Ghired, Conclave Exile What do we think about this guy? Playable, interesting, boring, too much stat for too little mana or a cool build around where you gotta make the biggest and baddest token possible? I know I'm building him for EDH but he's been running round my head in cube context as...

Arcum's Astrolabe Is this card too good if it just cost {1}?

GP Birmingham was this weekend. I played some side events (Pauper and Battlebond mostly - I hadn't played Battlebond before and I enjoyed it, although I would prefer to play it Bo3). But most importantly, Cube! We had seven players and a mix of archetypes - Mono-red, Jund Birthing Pod, GB...

Thanks, I'm going to give Raff a try.
