Perhaps the notion that there is a defined single cube, not just a lose umbrella for people putting certain amounts of magic cards in shoeboxes

Putting more agency behind the amount of grbs cards cetane sounds intriguing!

If it becomes overbearing maybe make it so that 1 or a couple more (3 in total?) of the cards in the extra booster are of the 'pandora' variety?

Yeah, I have not been one to buy boxes but I feel like drafting a ton this summer is going to be something to look forward to. Definetilly hoping to score a ton of boosters during prerelease!

What big still usable splashy instans are there? Possibly also creatures with flash?

The threat of letting a combo-control go off with their rewind and bouncelands while sitting on a fatties or combo piece of your own seems real.

Compare the fabled sword of forgotten legends to "oh cool +2 Con helmet!"

Isn't it kinda dull? Would we cube a vigilance 3/3 for two?

I think one of the biggest challenges with mono colored cube is how to keep signals in the draft, since you can just pick whatever, so that there needs to be some very clear differences between themes, but not so that they are isolated and people just auto draft their decks.

Is icatian javelineers even a card? Isn't a one time ping just incredibly narrow?

I might actually be sold on that cat as well. Been looking got more 'tricky' cards.

I would like to say the contrary! I think this is definetilly shaping up to be a really fenomenal set.

Doesn't the steep mana costs dictate enough of a requisite on the deck your drafting to mitigate the drawback of it being slotted in a lot of different decks? Like it's not a colorless 3 mana 3/3 that just goes in all decks. edit: Got a draft down, but the servers crashed! Ones 1 Icatian...

I wanna draft a tempo deck with that and aura gnarlid and a bunch of arrests.

Running it in a low powered format was sort of the entire premise of it, I don't think it's worth bothering with mill strategies in the same format as thragtusk midrange and reanimator.

This set is shaping up into one really nice draft set by the looks of it. I like how the mechanics so far reward the proactive player.

Yeah, I guess it's like a mutilate that doesn't trap you in MBC?

I looked into the burning vengeance decks from innistrad and honestly it almost feels like it needs to be UR by necessity, because a huge part of the self mill and flashback comes from blue, but I feel like there could be some bleed with gruul if we want to have a burnin vengeance deck that can...

Oh wow that seems pretty disgusting with gravecrawlers and bloodsoaked champions.

Totally misread this the first time. Almost a really really sweet card, now I think it'll mostly be fun during origins draft.
