Are they all custom cards or just reskinned other cards?

My cuber who qualified for the Pro Tour is streaming a Modern Daily starting in 5 minutes: http://www.twitch.tv/belgicmagic

A couple assorted comments: I am not terribly worried about the possibility of making one-fewer drafting decision. Also note that not all Jitte decks are created equal, and given that you have a Jitte your other picks can be weighted differently. Personally I think that the in-game decisions...

I moved this to a new thread as it wasn't really about 3-0 decks anymore. Anybody want to argue for / against Jitte? The way my opponent played around it in M3G3 of the last draft was extremely interesting, and the usage of counters was actually a very intricate, tactical dance that would not...

We have rules?

Game-ruining bullshit.

I stand by Cloistered Youth still being a good card. For comparison, last draft a player jammed Ajani's Pridemate into his Junk deck, and often it just incidentally grew to a 4/4 by Turn 4 or so, and it proved to be one of the best cards in his deck. If Kudzu started as a 2/2 we'd probably...

I don't really think easy P1P1s are problematic. I don't even know that easy P3P1s are that big of an issue. Lots of cards present fun subgames though. One of my favorites is the "get 100% of the zombies off the board" subgame. Well designed PWs make for interesting subgames. I don't really...

How big does it need to grow before you feel you get your mana's worth?

Tezzeret's Gambit

Living Death always sucked here by virtue of not having a shell of a deck that was good enough when you didn't draw Living Death.

It's probably as much of a thing as this guy (or more): Lorescale Coatl

Well I think we both agree there's a line, it's just a question of where that line is. I really don't have much of a defense against Jitte, and it's well possible that it should be removed. The card is kind of a colorless PW that is harder to get off the table.

When you were talking about Ion Storm did you combine it with Undying?

Searing Meditation Kind of. Furnace Celebration works with Fetchlands, in case anybody had forgotten.

Life gain is way more green than red.

Well, I haven't seen it in action that much. Its baseline stats are nonembarassing. If it evolves once you're already getting great value, even if the trigger doesn't do anything. I consider it one of the main incentive cards of the archetype.

I don't run Elusive Krasis in the cube. Sorry. :(

Man, Twilight Shepherd is so much cooler than the Kamigawa dragons.

Yeah, but in my example I don't have to play terrible cards.
