    General Eldrazi Domain Draft Sign-ups.

    I've done both the others so if someone else wants a spot I'll step down, otherwise I'll draft again.

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    I think there might be a good argument for Collected Company. It's powerful, build-around so it's good to get early, and it's the only green card in the pack.

    General Re-examining The Basic Land Box

    I kind of want to make a rule that all basic lands have cycling {2} to see what it would be like.

    General Fight Club

    It might be more of a contest if they were the same cost but Cackling Flames is just too expensive

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I like this one, and I think I'd probably add a line saying that when [CARDNAME] leaves the battlefield, remove all collapse counters from permanents you control. Otherwise you'd end up with a bunch of counters that don't do anything on all your cards.

    General Emotional Spikes in Cube Design

    I wouldn't play Wasteland in a format with bounces but I like it well enough in traditional (Fetch/Shock/ABU) manabases. I mean, you can always fetch basics if you don't want to get Wasted, right?

    General CBS

    Mainly because it reminds me of this line in my favourite tournament report of all time That's exactly how Karn looks. Tournament Report here.

    Did you know this was originally meant to be the art for Aethersnipe? http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/lorwyn-elemental-swaps-2007-11-28 Anyway I don't actively avoid Fear/Intimate but I don't run a lot of cards with the ability just because it doesn't appear on very many good...

    General Fight Club

    Second one might be a bit much, given it's at least Negate with what could be a pretty bit upside with Spell Mastery. I think that version at {2}{u} might be OK? I can't really tell how narrow the last one would be in practice. It seems great vs Black and Red, maybe alright against White but...

    General Emotional Spikes in Cube Design

    I don't agree that tight technical play and emotional spikes are incompatible. For me, the strongest engagement with the game comes when I think I'm close to locking up a game through incremental advantage and I just have to fade two draw steps to close it out. I don't think that it's the act of...

    General Elegance in cube card selection

    I was looking through a friend's cards for some stuff for Pincher cube and I came across Shackles. It might serve the same function as Prison Term, but I think it reads a bit better and has the bonus of being a repeatable heroic trigger in a pinch. What do you think?

    You could also play Coiling Oracle (the best creature in Modern).

    General Elegance in cube card selection

    I don't know why you'd ever cut Wall of Omens, the best creature in Modern, from your cube.
