I'd like to see a few more tribrids actually, they're so permissive for guild decks
more counterspells? LD? fuck, maybe I'll do something with this after Jason's project.
if anyone (i include myself, maybe?) refines this to a 360 I'm totally gonna print it as a second cube for my Constructed die-hards who love metadecking. Seems like a solvable environment, at least short-term until the meta shifts. The comparison I wanted to make here was triple Innistrad draft...
