    General [Format Discussion] Modern Masters is Totally Incredible

    I'm just cheesed I opened a 300$ box with one mythic: Kokusho. Statistically I shoulda gotten 3, but I'll make up for it in the rares, right? Nope, nothing over 10$ save the 1 doubling season. MM can bite my ass

    You know, that might not be horrible :P Planeswalkers are so weird. The slightest number changes bring a card to it's knees

    Tribute to hunger seems AWEFUL in this format. Contamination is really powerful, but maybe not the right kind of powerful. It does shut your opponent down, which might be really easy to keep up with all the tokens flying around. My pick: Stab Wound

    W00! Happy to hear the addition to the team! Huge fan, your color philosophy cube podcasts really helped me shape my cube.

    Now that I think of it, if morbid is a thing in this cube (and maybe you have a bunch of death triggers?) the newly reprinted perilous research might be sweet

    Yeah the draft gets better the more you use it. I'm actually having a problem with mine at the moment because I did so many drafts looking for content for the wildfire article, that now it's impossible to wheel artifact mana or wildfire! Probably not indicative of your average draft environmental :P

    I think elspeth would be fine if she didn't tick up for the angelic blessing ability. maybe like a -1 or -2

    I'd say pet card. I don't feel comfortable casting that card on turn 2 thesedays

    Funny you mention it, I have actually recently cut jackel pup and swapped him out for another tattermunge maniac instead of rakdos cackler :P (Black already has A LOT of 1 drops, and while my cube didn't quite know what to do with black, the side benefit from cackler being black was marginal...

    Jason Waddell's Cube

    I like him. He's fine in control churning out dudes and padding your life total, and he's defensible in aggro making emblems and keeping you resiliant. I haven't found him opressive, just solid.

    I think he's sweet too. I'm not sure if he's too good, he might need to be triple green or lose trample or something, green has basically nothing like this despite how feasible it looks. I think the reason we're spending so much time talking about the terminate test is the reason people...

    Opening a pack of 15 first picks of equal power is probably pretty frustrating after all, let alone following it up by being passed one of 14 :P Out of Curiosity, Have you considered some token specific cards? Maybe you wanna go real deep with the token thing with stuff like Murganda...

    I've always heard it as "Am I happy if X" and realistically, that means if I evoke this creature and it has "target opponent discards a card" as additional text, would I play that spell. You're right about shroud et al though, I kinda forgot about that. Armada wurm is a good pass I think

    Article ChannelFireball: Utility Land Draft

    I find vivids annoying because of counter upkeep. It's less annoying when the card isn't tucked in with your lands (Sphere of the suns), but on lands it gets worse. WotC needs to make brass cave already :P (My evolving wilds => pains you, fetches untapped) You could try more city of brasses if...

    Hmmm. Maybe "Everything in this filtered list"?

    That card is pretty bonkers. I'm not sure if it's too bonkers, since the closest thing is cloudthresher and they're pretty different. He might need to lose trample and have something else instead, but then again, advent of the wurm... Not passing the terminate test isn't too informative: It's...
