Sweet list of changes, Ben. If I could add a feature request, it'd be the capability to export cube decks to the Riptide Lab format. I know we're still a small community, but hey, gotta start somewhere! The decklist format would look like this: Ones 1 Arbor Elf 1 Delver of Secrets 1 Noble...

Geez, that's a mind-blowing observation. We did end up getting like one and a half Cluestones per pack. Imagine if those were lands!

Sweet article, Chris. I'll pile onto the hatred for Scars block; it was bad enough in all aspects that I completely checked out of Magic for about nine months, going so far as to invest hundreds of dollars in another CCG, until the sweetness of Innistrad lured me back in. Scars limited gameplay...

I remember always liking Artisan of Kozilek in Rise of Eldrazi draft, so much so that I had it in the first incarnation of my cube. But still, yeah, slim pickings all round.

For what it's worth, Jason keeps whining to me about how he needs stuff like Baleful Strix to improve the woeful performance of his control decks. Bah. #cubeworldproblems

Zenith was actually.. kinda underwhelming here. Mostly just acted as an expensive Infest that you might randomly redraw. So one day I just made the logical swap and threw Infest back in.

CML tells us about his latest foray into Legacy: http://riptidelab.com/legacy-tournament-report/

Lol. Yep, you caught me with my hand in the cookie jar... I did nuke the Tusk right after that draft. But, hey! Obstinate Baloth is still single, and he's looking! Just look at that cute face.

+1 for Blasting Station. It does a lot of good work here in Modern land. Though it might be underwhelming if you already run double Bombardment. Nine people! Score! I imagine organizing that draft must've taken some Herculean effort.

upvote! hurry! http://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/1lacqm/preliminary_theros_card_previews/

I cut Hero over here, because it's almost always an instant-win if it isn't removed on the spot. Using Chapin's Baneslayer vs Mulldrifter terminology, I feel like it's even more of a Baneslayer than the queen angel herself. Funny that you mention Gather the Townsfolk, as I'm experimenting with...

So, we've had a whole pile of forum members join in the last little while. And I'm not sure we've all been properly acquainted with each other. If you've already started posting, but haven't stopped in to say hi yet, or if you're just lurking and waiting for the right time to make that first...

I think Lucas posted this question in one of our chatcast topic threads, but we never got around to discussing it: human tribal. Is the payoff worth it? As far as I can tell, Champion is the only reason to try for a linear human deck. I suppose if you go into green, there's the Mayor, and now...

CML, this series was absolutely fantastic. Well thought out, entertaining, incisive, and fun to read. And with several useful conclusions for cube designers to take home, too. I loved it. Funny enough, I heard the exact same comment a few years ago about M11 from a local veteran, someone who'd...

Skrap, I think Ben's got that feature already! My Account -> My Cubes -> Export a Cube. Then you can re-import the text file later. It seems right now you can only do it for your own cube, and you can't export other people's cubes in this way.

Hanweir Watchkeep, Lobber Crew might be worth considering

Oh man, I'm impressed that even though I haven't posted anything meaningful in this thread for nearly two weeks, you guys are still generating awesome discussion and suggestions for my cube. Rock on! Lucas, those are some fantastic ideas. I'm finding that with a couple of random tokens or...

Yeah, every archetype does need some "reward" cards, cards that you can count on to wheel because they're much more valuable to you than to the other drafters. This might be something like Burning Vengeance in Innistrad. I pick on the Affinity archetype in Modern Masters, though, because between...

Unless you get judge promo old fetches! But then my old bordered Stone Rain goes and ruins the aesthetic. o_O

The other nice one is Worm Harvest, which can function as a Spider Spawning that can go off with Life from the Loam. But I see what you mean - space is tight!
