I don't want to ruin it, I just put in counter-cards to every strategy I introduce. More graveyard hate / exile effects when Gravecrawlers came in, search and trigger hate when Pod was introduced, anti-lifegain when I attempted lifegain. Spirit seems like an appropriate puzzle, and isn't a...

I mean, I totally agree with you. Not trying to discredit anyone, just saying that personally Eidolon of Blossoms doesn't really get my blood running. I see it and think "okay, 2/2 for 4, I'm already down half a card (at least) when I play it. if I trigger it once, it's like a bad Elvish...

I know we sometimes get a little extreme here, but did you guys see that guy on BTP suggesting giving drafters unlimited fetchlands?

Yeah, I mean, my bad on this topic. In the beginning I had a friend who played Pod 100% of the time in Standard / Modern, as well as others who identified as Podcurious, so my playgroup easily supported 4x pod, with the pods being split between 2-3 drafters every time. I think 3 is more correct...

Ideally each set would allow the player to go in a couple of different directions, while also kind of inspiring them in some way. Likely I would change the min deck size for this event to 45 or something.

I know Dromoka's is the weakest (in cube), but is this the most playable cycle since the Titans? Ojutai's Command Silumgar's Command Kolaghan's Command Atarka's Command Dromoka's Command

Spirit of the Labyrinth Maybe it's time for some Brainstorm counter-cards?

It's not a learning experience it's a fun one-off event.

I think these ideas are too dry and don't have enough spirit of wonder. This isn't supposed to be a serious "every week" format, but a unique ~1 time event.

Isn't Santa Boros?

The original Pod thread happened way back in the Google group, in yonderyear.

Will do, but I don't have a lot of these cards currently, so I will have to decide how committed I am to the idea. Was thinking of making room for a tricolor slot.

Going to use this to try and get more PWs into the pool without increasing the # of PWs in a given draft.

I would feel like such a turd if I first picked Eidolon of Blossoms.

We should do it as a white elephant thing :p

What mechanism would you use to distribute the shards / wedges?

Sealed! (up to 4 players) Sealed Deck 1: Sealed Deck 2: Sealed Deck 3: Sealed Deck 4:

Surely there's some middle ground. Players rarely first-pick Gravecrawler itself, but will first-pick Dark Confidant or Liliana or something and end up in a Bx sacrifice deck.

Okay guys, I am reviving this concept, with an update. Now that I am doing this as an MTGO cube, it is easier than ever to generate a new list for each draft. My cube now has 360 "slots". Columns 1 and 2 define the slots a card is eligible for. Above, we have 5 Izzet spells eligible for 3...

Do we really need first picks to commit us so heavily in a direction? I'm perfectly happy to take a solid piece of removal in retail draft, knowing that I can still run it wherever the rest of the draft takes me. As long as we end up _somewhere_, do we really care for it being Pick 1? Players...
