    [Design/Construction] Lets build the Scuttlemutt Cube!

    <-- He's not the only proponent of sorcery speed removal sir! Honestly, there's some things I just think don't need to be complicated, which is probably why I don't see the draw of something like evasive action over mana leak. Sure it relates to the theme, but is it much better when it's...

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Oh jeez I didn't think the flashback was going to be free! No way man, deffinitly not. people have it bad enough playing around tricks in your graveyard (thrill of the hunt), but a 0 mana counterspell? That's bonkers! IMO, you can pretty well calculate weather flashing this card back will win...

    HELP WANTED! (тȟᶒ Ůῇẗᶖƫȴәᶑ Ḉụḅẽ: A Journey of Wonder and Adventure)

    Me too, but I think we might be a little blind to the cost of doing something like that based on the small sample size of our games :P Over the 6 games I'll play with mono-red splash bloodbraid elf, it's entirely possible it never gets stuck in my hand waiting on green, or that I get fucked...

    [Design/Construction] Lets build the Scuttlemutt Cube!

    Okay I'm just going to ask the dumb question here: Assuming you can play 5c without cards like kodama's reach, does that pose a problem for how the rest of the decks turn out? Does the 5 color deck ever not come together because people kept swiping their fetchlands for example? (Does it happen...

    break-the-rules cube

    I feel bad though :( I don't want to discourage custom cards, far from it, but I want to make sure they're in there for the right reasons. I've definitely had people ask me about custom cards "why isn't this just X?" and I always want to have a good answer for that I've got a B1 1/1 flying...

    General Jitte and assorted GRBS, P1P1, etc.

    Funny suggustion: If you wanna nerf jitte and don't mind a little red tape, give it totem armor It worked with control magic, it'd probably work here :D Abduction Basically just control magic with totem armor

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    People really don't like huge swings like that :( Does anyone play final fortune in a non-combo context? (Platinum angel I guess?) Even if the card is worth it, if something goes wrong, you're fucked. People usually don't like taking that risk. The words "you lose" are powerful ones. Yeah...

    General Squadron Build-Arounds

    Yup, but I've cut all but wild nacatl, so maybe. I'm not a fan of complicating the draft process in general. My drafters have enough of a problem with 5 packs of 9 instead of 3 packs of 15, let alone special rules or a utility land draft on top of all that

    General CBS

    Yeah sometimes I end up taking a more mathmatical approach to it. Sure, sometimes i'm like "Well what archetypes can I draft?" but other times I'm like "Man, I've got bloody no black 3 drops. I wonder what jason's running, black aggro doesn't suck in his cube from what I hear"

    break-the-rules cube

    Okay I have't looked through all of those cards, but I think it might be worth considering cutting down on the custom-ness of this cube to reduce the burden on your drafters. Assuming I'm reading it right, Mox Crystal is Mox Diamond, but it ETB tapped? Firecat Welder is goblin welder but with...

    Has fading ever been a problem? (I know he's still new, but I might as well ask)

    General CBS

    Yeah it's kinda hard to spot archetype support from the draft picks without a spoiler. I've literally only seen one person do it: At my bachelor party, someone noticed the second greater gargadon next to a bloodghast and a gravecrawler, with two gravecrawlers already circling the tables and said...

    Ah, it was Dom. It was a WHILE back though, so forgive my mixup :P Apparently according to jason he's super awesome in pod?

    General Print this Wizards! (So I can put it in my cube)

    Few things: This is a 5 mode charm! Holy balls! Justified or not, that's just a weird complicated spell. Squall/Prey Upon/Shatter/Demistify/Double Battlegrowth Remember: Naturalize is a modal spell too. It's always super akward when one of your modes has modes. Let alone the ungrokkable cheaper...

    General Fighting Disappointment: Lets fix some cards that were almost sweet

    Fair enough. Raid finder has made it way easier for it to not suck hours out of my life. This week I actually didn't even realize realms had reset until like 10pm Teusday :P A lot of what I love doing resets weekly, so normally I'd have been on around lunchtime, knocking them all out, but nah...

    Love the Zooligist Idea, that's super cute :P So is sol ring in the trinket mage package, it just costs 7? :P

    How about the white seacoast drake? :P Concordia Pegasus In all realness though, Descendant is garbage (I think I remember advising you to take him out, you had him in to boost the gilded lotus deck?) We all need to appreciate just how good Vampire Nighthawk is :P

    General Jitte and assorted GRBS, P1P1, etc.

    Maybe not 100%, but it's hard. There's other ways to nerf jitte: higher average creature toughness, more artifact destruction, equipment penaltys (Cards like Soul Nova and Turn to Slag, but you know...good.), shroud cards (Not hexproof, OG shroud) etc I mean these are things you should be...

    Poor Auras. They finally made you good, but now you're too expensive to be good. I had this guy pegged at B, bestow BB1 and uncommon. Jesus.
