Blossoming Defense Become Immense Embercleave The only three I run right now. BD pulls double duty as a small pump/protection spell, BI can close out games out of nowhere, and Cleave just means that you win combat barring spot removal. It gets tougher to make inclusions the higher the power...

Is it better than Bloodsoaked? A relevant creature type and an easier trigger for aggressive decks to pull off makes it more appealing for me. I've done the machine gun drain ala Blood Artist + Sac Outlet + multiple Raid recursions before to close out games if they stalled out. Suicidal attacks...

I'm on Team Not Broken for this as well. The gold standard for recursive 1 drop to me is Gravecrawler and I think this is definitely worse. Enters tapped, still has timing restrictions at sorcery speed, less relevant creature type, and its more restrictive to recur with the retrace. Unless...

For myself, once I see a Stoneforge Mystic early enough I will then be on on the lookout for any and all equipment to maximize it. You've got some big targets there with the likes of Grafted Wargear and Embercleave that I'm happy to see in just about every aggressive deck, but I wanted to see...

I just put in a couple of drafts earlier, all of them ending up with different decks: Zeros 1 Stonecoil Serpent 1 Mox Diamond Ones 1 Mother of Runes 1 Retrofitter Foundry 1 Preordain 1 Chromatic Star 1 Bloodforged Battle-Axe 1 Aether Spellbomb Twos 1 Stoneforge Mystic 1 Selfless Spirit 1...

Good call, forgot I picked up a copy of Converter like a month back and it's just been sitting in the artifact section of my cube binder. I'll slot that in sometime next week once a few more cards arrive.

Yeah, Cobra has been kinda buggy like that for the last couple weeks. I usually have to just refresh after completing the draft and go back into the deck lists to get a chance to edit after the fact. This deck looks like it wants to push into being a kind RW Aggro/Stax Hybrid splashing black...

Tight, thanks for the draft. Unfortunately I don't really hop onto Discord much aside from when I do webcam EDH night or a movie night with my friends so good call on posting here for visibility. Discord is neat for anything voice related, but nothing beats a good old forum for cube talk. I've...

Oh, I was initially but then I took your comment to be asking about draft packs in general. Whoops. I'm only able to fit 15, but I should mention that I use the combination of KMC Perfect Hards + Dragonshield Mattes. KMC Perfect Hards are MUCH thicker than KMC Perfect Fits. I sleeve up all my...

I mean whatever works for you is fine I guess. Most draft boosters end up being 14 cards actual cards ignoring the basic land which is usually just the 15th final "pick" unless they're doing something different with that card slot (gates in Ravnica sets, snow basic in Kaldheim, etc.). There's...

I use Cubeamajigs and have the cube double-sleeved so the hard limit for a given pack is 15 cards. I tend to have the cube all pre-shuffled and packs ready to go the night before so we can just get started as soon as we set up. I could theoretically go down some cards per pack and go up in...

Looks like I'm back up on Cobra as a featured cube. Added in the updated duplicate vouchers + put some cards in the basic land box for post-draft ease of access. Give it a try and lemme know what you guys come up with!

Waiting on some cards to arrive before I get around to snapping some pics of shiny cardboard as promised last week, but I've been mulling around an update to 435 in the future. 420 is a real good spot for my cube where I have the density necessary for the archetypes I'm looking to support and...

I love it for the Reanimator decks that pop up in my cube now and again. It's exactly the type of branching card you need to keep yourself afloat early picking off small threats and padding your life total a little as you extend into the mid-game for a Damnation or Languish to clean up the...

That's fair, it can crop up now and then and I've definitely been stuck with a Shriekmaw in G1 against another black deck before. However, I would argue that these situations serve to bump up the value of true unconditional removal during the draft. In many scenarios a copy of Go For the Throat...

I'd second that. I was very wary of diving into GoT again after how the original series ended, had sworn off it completely, but I put this on the night it was released just to give it a try. I was hooked again within 15 minutes and it's only gotten better and better with each episode. It just...

I have a 420 cube right now. I wanted to have more than a 360 for variety's sake (I usually only get 6-8 drafters nowadays), but 450 was too large and unwieldy to maintain the card density for archetypes in the past. I've had a 450 before in like 2017 and it was great when I could get 10...

On the contrary, I think the more I've seen the more I've been impressed with Sheoldred, the Apocalypse and the gameplay it brings to the table. So much so that I put in an order for a copy earlier this evening. It's a perfect card for any kind of grindy black archetype centered in U/B or G/B...

Well, sucks for them in lacking the foresight to avoid spending $1000 on randomized proxies (this still sounds so fucking stupid to me). If people want to be that loose with their money then good luck to them. The product itself can exist for the whales that want it, I'd never entertain the...

No surprise to me. Chris Cocks was promoted to CEO of Hasbro not even a year back, we'll be seeing these new moves and implementations a couple of years out. Get ready for product dilution out the ass with even more SL collabs and Universes Beyond. I had a feeling things were going to go south...
