    Are you kidding? Those are about the only decent fixers in the block I can use, not going to ignore those! In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm going to add customs for the missing enemy color combinations! :D

    I don't think so, no. You can check Scryfall by doing this search (and changing it for other color combinations): https://scryfall.com/search?q=ci%3Drgw+%28c%3Crgw+or+is%3Ahybrid%29+c%3E0&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name It includes a few other results, but it comes pretty close, and the result...

    No, I don't want to implement the color skew. The draft structure of the Odyssey block, with the color imbalances, wasn't actually healthy, and it wasn't the part of the block I liked anyway. Instead I want to highlight the block's mechanics and graveyard focus, as well as overrepresent (so to...

    Odyssey block, sorry :) Odyssey isn't a plane actually, the whole story takes place on Dominaria, on the continent of Otaria iirc.

    This is certainly true, but power creep hasn't affected cards equally across the board: Rares have become more powerful High cmc cards have become more powerful across rarities The floor is not as low as it used to be across rarities Cards like Wild Mongrel, Hallowed Healer and Mental Note...

    I might need to open a new cube thread for this endeavor, if I still fancy it next week :D I decided on one true gold uncommon in each color (since I have to include Psychatog) and four faux multicolor cards, where the casting cost is one color, but for some reason it gets stronger if you...

    Welllll... It sure gets interesting :rolleyes: One of the first things I knew I wanted to do is add a dash of multicolor support that played into Odyssey's strengths. Odyssey isn't huge on multicolor, but one commonly held design principle, nowadays, is that multicolored cards can guide drafters...

    Yeah, that one's really cool :)

    Due to Corona, I'm unwilling to host cube sessions at the moment, and when I did, I wasn't organizing more than six drafts or so a year. So, of course I am now thinking about a potential third cube: The Grand Odyssey Cube. The idea is to make a kind of set cube based on Odyssey with influences...

    I'm not really looking for a 3 drop Archaeomancer, considering the themes in my cube, but yeah, I think it's long time they were a little less careful on the cmc for their Archaeomancers

    Oooooo! Pretty Island! Now give us Archaeomender but for instants and sorceries.

    It's okay, the greatest things are born from happy accidents :)

    I recently cut Tetsuko from my cube. The problem is that it makes combat really uninteractive and leads to polar matches. You're hitting them with little unblockables, ninja's if you're in luck, and there's not a lot the opponent can do. Unless they've got an instant kill spell of course, in...

    Don't beat yourself up, you made this archetype sound very poetic ;)

    I tested Riddleform in my cube, and it was okay, but not exciting. I imagine it would have been better in a WU control shell with wraths if that color combination was supported in my cube. But yeah, on average it's a 1.5-power flyer for 2 mana, which is just worse than Welkin Tern.

    Omg YES!!! Another one from the bucket list! :)

    Add colorless on the 6th side of the die, not that you'll need it very often, but it's still nice :)

    :') :') :') But yeah, this pretty much ruins By Gnome Means, if it wasn't already ruined by the +2/+2 counters.

    Well, Thoughtseize or Ravenous Rats (or whatever is appropriate at your power level) don't need synergy, they're just a good fit for most black decks regardless of synergy. Plus, people naturally play loot effects in their decks. Remember you only need to trigger it once to make it "better" than...
