I actually like it, despite Eric thinking I don't. It was mostly a size problem. I had to cut into the sacrifice theme to get the lifegain theme to work, and then the sacrifice theme wasn't performing as I'd like. It was pretty fun to play and had an interesting range of deck options. Maybe...

Trivination has me thinking. What if the colors were driven by some weird identity. Like, part of this color's identity could be "some for you, more for me". {1}C, Instant Cardname deals 5 damage to target creature you don't control, and 2 damage to target creature you do control.

Let's say there were a cube with new colors, say, uh.. Purple Cyan Orange Brown (Lime?) Silver (colors and arrangement up for discussion) What would be some simple, yet fresh ways you would approach effects like counterspells, burn, etc. How can we give new colors identities that feel new...

I liked Anotak's idea of doing a cube with 5 brand new colors better than jamming a 6th.

I am all for experimentation. My main reservation here would be deck diversity. A lot of the diversity in a draft environment is traditionally driven by allowing the drafters to draft different color combinations, and removing a color takes a lot of that away. Instead of 10 two-color and...

I don't think I've ever not run Hell's Thunder. Play it, sac it. I think it's an auto-include if you're going to run sac-themes. Gerrard's Verdict is fine, but you won't miss it. I liked the decisions it made when I ran the lifegain theme, but outside of that it's not that essential.

Hmmm... hybrid. Did we move into this direction because of the comment about pack size? Because I don't really think, statistically, that the number of playables you get is greatly influenced by pack size. And I certainly wouldn't want it to drive the high-level design for that reason only.

The first column indicates the draft structure for when that set has been released. e.g. after the release of "Louie", the draft will be Louie/Louie/Dewie.

For clearer wording: Sac 4 creatures for a Koth ultimate... hmmm...

That could work. I've also played with the idea of a initial set with follow up expansions, to keep the card pool small to start.

I actually don't mind some cards that end up being sideboard only most of the time. People usually don't rock a Relic of Progenitus, but it does fun things out of the board.

I hope they print another game-breaking eternal card.

That new draft structure is creative. Super creative. I wonder how Morphs will go this time around. I don't find a lot of the old designs to be very inspiring.

Today I ran my second 8-man cube draft of the week. None of the players who played Tuesday (except for me) were in today's draft. That's kind of special. But what was more special was our PT player's day. He went 5-0 in a Standard tournament, 3-0 in draft, then 3-0'd my cube with this brew...

Okay, I sent you both requests, I'm not really on Skype at the moment though so I'll check back later to add you to the group.

To be clear I have no reanimation in my cube currently.

I mean, people are in the habbit of rearranging their mana and clumping it up and all sorts of things, and the dice on top of it just become an annoyance.

Counters on lands are super annoying. People hated Vivids in cubes here, for good reason.
