One rare in each pack is retail rarity distribution, but you can easily have a format with multiple rares per pack that still plays out like (modern) limited environments. If you mean a cube that mimics retail limited in both power level and rarity distribution, I think you're likely to end up...

My cube has been called retail power level. I would say it's a bit higher, but it's not far off when you look at the power level of my cards.

Oh, right. Well, no one is going to make that mistake now that I made it a sorcery! :P

Hey there new Summon to War! I debated between making War an instant or sorcery for an eternity, but I think the play patters for the sorcery version are better. I can imagine {2}{R} deal 4 to the dome (when targeting two unblocked creatures) is a bit much for the backside of an uncommon. This...

Remind me to back up my old blog posts so I can look back and see who once won ;)

Just increase the number of cards in your cube (by adding lands without cutting any nonland) and add a 16th card to your boosters that gets seeded with mana fixing! :)

The card text for this is wrong. It should be: "Target permanent an opponent controls you destroy! A basic land its controller may search their library for, onto the battlefield put it, then their library shuffle!"

Oooo, I like that!

:btg: Ow yeah!

Yes (not me) and yes. Whatever lands you decide to run in your basic land box, I believe they should not diminish the desirability of the mana fixing in your main cube too much, which makes actual Evolving Wilds (or Terramorphic Expanse if you prefer that name and art) or Ash Barens the most...

If I had a Twitter account, this would have been an instant follow :') "A bit over the top, yes—but it's a beacon for those in need." My favorite :D

Okay, here goes! I like to work with examples, because that's how my brain works, and because they give an idea of how averages translate to the real world. TLDR; Hahaha... Ha... ha... Oh, do I really have to write a synopsis?! o_O Ok then... 5 duals per guild at 360 seems like a good...

1. The second image with 20% capture rate for a two-color deck is missing, I think? 2. If a 60% capture rate for a three color deck equates 9 duals, shouldn't a 40% capture rate equal *6* drafted duals? That would almost assuredly sink the P(X >= 1) well below 90%. I'm going to do some...

Cool! I do the same! I am considering to up my cube size a bit so I can add a land slot as the 16th card in the pack, after someone suggested that idea a few posts back. I'ld have to analyze my cube in light of Train's and sith's sigh's posts to see if that is needed :D

I wanted some kind of effect that could target your own heroic creatures and/or push through damage. Trumpet Blast was fine, but a bit too all or nothing, and it lacked synergy with the heroic package I run. I had Coordinated Assault on the backside for a while as well, but that was a bit too...

At {3}{r}? Yeah... I think it would be only marginally playable in a cube draft deck. Maybe as a one-off. The effects are simply not that desirable in typical draft games. At {2}{r} I think it's something you'ld be moderately excited for, at {3}{r} it's just... underpowered.

Thanks! I debated costing it at 4, but Seismic Shift is basically unplayable draft chaff, so I think I have to make the effect a true Stone Rain (in cost at least) to make it viable. Obviously it's stapled to another decent effect here, but I'm not too afraid that a three mv land destruction...

I used to have a deck that ran the following "combo": Minamo, School at Water's Edge Darksteel Garrison Since Minamo can target itself, it basically gains: "{U}, {T}: Untap Minamo, School at Water's Edge. Target creature gets +1/+1 until end of turn." If that isn't obscure, retail-level...

Finally got around to trying it out, and the quality is definitely better than MSE's (which is understandable, since MSE purposefully downgrades the quality of exported card images). I even had to downsize the image considerably to be able to upload it to the forum! (Note that this sneakily...

I like the text "Add {C} or maybe {R} instead." Very poetic :)
