No, this is not a multiplayer Magic format thread. Recently James visited, and we played Magic along with my girlfriend. I've been pretty into pick-up and play formats lately (see Cube pack wars), so we brewed up a new format. For me, the biggest issue with three player formats is, how do...

Something like Tidings was already kind of borderline, I really don't think a 7 mana sorcery with no board impact will cut it in most cube matchups. I'd probably slot it into the sideboard of some control deck, then regret drawing it when I side it into some control mirror.

I was at a Statistical Programming conference and somebody mentioned a lot of people at their office play Magic. Apparently Kai Budde and several other hall of famers are working on sports betting modelling.

The big issue with the lifegain theme was that there were so few "lifegain matters" cards. The raw amount of life gain was sometimes problematic. I think it could be reworked somehow, the archetype was actually pretty fun to pilot, but my version was not super well implemented. Maybe with some...

Wings of Hoopoe

Kitchen Finks is indeed the poster child for "good stuff with an absurd number of potential synergies attached". I think the only part of it I haven't used in one of my cubes is "Ouphes matter".

So many White Zombies! Tempted to reboot my MODO cube.

Happy Birthday CML!

I don't know, I think the new Nicol Bolas is pretty powerful. I guess it's not Karn, but those are some fairly strong + abilities.

How much looting do you have?

My impression, back when I watched them, was that they started making MTG content pretty genuinely, because that's what they were into. One of my cube articles was written in response to a Graham tweet, and we had a small, pleasant interaction on Twitter. Mostly I really liked when they...

Yeah, I agree there needs to be defined icons for the power and range, and don't mind the cost moving to the header. Going to try to play with it a bit so that the text box isn't so filled with stat icons.

I haven't followed LRR in years. Is this true or just some verbal hyperbole?

This was exactly my experience with it.

Oh, in my game just 1.

In WoW TCG you draw one card, yes. Versus system has you drawing two cards a turn.

Ah, sorry, I didn't explain that well. Income is just like, the number of mana you have available to you each turn. So you start the game with 0, then on turn 1 you would get 1 coin, turn 2 you get 2 coins, etc. (assuming you pay the blood bank or card costs each turn). So maybe you would get...

Anybody?

Grid Drafting was one of my most successful cube designs, and I've always had the idea that you could build a game from the ground up around it. But what if instead of drafting then playing, you draft while you play. I've run several iterations of prototypes for this game, and it's still very...
