Hmm... I don't know if that's the better answer :P

Pack Rat?

To a degree I'ld say :) I run a 450 card cube to ensure more variety in an 8 people draft, because when I draft, it's often with 8 people. I'ld say that variety would be just as well achieved with 440 or 460 cards, and those numbers are not a mathematical extrapolation of my draft function. Your...

No, you're right, they are, but that was not what I had in mind. I probably should have elaborated :) See, a veteran player will recognize the cards, and be quicker to recognize archetypes, whereas an inexperienced player will probably have to read at least half the cards in a booster. Under...

That's some serious BTP shit right there :') Anyway, I'm not sure I'm looking for a system that seems to increase the gap between veteran and inexperienced players.

Yeah, an image-basedtheme guide seems like a great idea!

I actually like the math behind 3 packs of 15, because that means in an 8 people draft, a pack will exactly not wheel. I was a mildly annoyed when WotC decided to cut the 15th card in favor of a land ages ago. Applying this same principle, I did a 4 packs of 11 draft with 6 people last year, and...

That's seems like a safer idea, if you double sleeve it's pretty easy to "decorate" the inner sleeve with a strategically placed sticker.

I don't know, I've cube with everything from friends who had last played a game of Magic "back in the day" to hardcore tournament players, and duplicates never tripped any of them up. I do like the idea of visibly marking them though, I might do that if I can find a way to do it inconspicuously :)

A dead, deflated seal pup.

I remember when we were struggling to find enough decent black three drops. The last few years have been a blessing! We now find ourselves in a position where it's not obvious what black three drop to cut for the newest hotness.

It might be accidental, but it fits the style of the human deck, and green isn't traditionally rich in humans, so I think it's an important cog in the WG humans deck.

I think the choice depends mostly on if and if so, which of the two tribes you want to support in you cube.

Yeah, I rebooted my cube when Kaladesh hit, and since then I've been more diligent in testing my adds before purchasing them.

Most definitely.

What a sweet recap Wumpa, props :) I still run double fetch, double shock (plus double of a custom land with two basic land types for each of the five guilds I run), and it's perfect for the three-color madness I've built. I've pretty much moved away from every single one of the cards you...

Yeah, set looks deep. To be fair though, my cube still counts 12 cards from Ixalan (and a further 11 from Rivals of Ixalan). Not that bad actually! (Eesh, did a quick check, and Battle for Zendikar (2 cards) and Oath of the Gatewatch (3 cards) have really fallen by the wayside.)

I'm in stitches :')

Ok, I picked out more than 30 cards that fit my current color wheel that pique my interest, including auto-swaps like Sinister Sabotage over Dissolve. Some that haven't been mentioned though. I think this is really solid in an aggressive deck, especially if you can put counters on it or equip...

Yup, and the regeneration is cool too. I think I'm sticking to my two Experiment Ones.
