I guess part of the difference is that Delver flips with non-threats and Champion grows with threats. I'm still pretty happy with my Lynxes though.

Two cards, technically.

I've been having trouble with getting Devotion to work because there's so much removal in my cube, but I think I solved the archetype guys. True-Name Nemesis Invisible Stalker Slippery Bogle Spectral Cloak Geist of Saint Traft Calcite Snapper Neurok Commando Lazav, Dimir Mastermind Thassa...

Oh, haven't you heard? Sarcomancy is great for the Devotion theme people are running these days. :) Lose the creature but keep the mana drop on board. [\sarcasmomancy]

Yeah, I agree with this sentiment. Re: your earlier comment, we actually had a huge discussion about raw power finishers when we started this community. I think everyone involved took Wurmcoil out of their cubes, but I know in mine aggro is so powerful that Baneslayer and Grave Titan are both...

According to the OkCupid blog it's better to be polarizing than to be consistently average.

I gotta say, I love me a good called shot topdeck, or a really devastating play that just knocks your opponent on their ass. Like, when you do something that leads to high fives and even your opponent is in awe. 1 player wins each game, how can we make sure it's done in the most satisfying ways...

Yeah, of all the ideas here, adoption of the forum sig may be the most successful. People on MTGS are already uh... in the Magic forum demo, and if they see quality posters all repping the sig maybe that generates interest.

I wonder what the player psychology behind "fuck you" spells is.

Oh, hmmm... I guess I did. For those of you interested:

This has become my go-to to listen to while doing programming / reading, so I've heard this song several hundred times by now. Then I listened to the rest of his catalog and wasn't really into the other stuff. Strange.

Can someone post the banner?

One of my 4-man ideas was to do something like 6 packs, but after each pick you shuffle and randomly remove one card from the pack. Then you all draft ~45 cards while still seeing 360 cards. It's not perfect, but maybe pointing in that direction might yield results?

Regardless, I don't think that having aggro only represented in two primary colors is ideal for a number of reasons. I have been much more satisfied with aggro and control each spread around the colors, versus other cube configurations where red is virtually 100% aggro and some colors are like...

The most pleasing feedback I've gotten on the various Gravecrawler archetypes is that they are really challenging to play against. It's like an evolving puzzle you have to solve, but you always have some tools.

Yeah, I've been known to say that even 6-man drafting is significantly worse than 8-man drafting. I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about 4-man drafts because I haven't done one in years. The last time we had 4 (a year ago?) we busted out Team Sealed of the Eldrazi Domain cube.

Sweetest card of the new Gravecrawler archetype: Innocent Blood Unique removal that both hardcore aggro and control want? Check and mate. Last 8-man a player beat a Deathrite Shaman -> T2 Geist of Saint Traft opening via Innocent Blood + Snapcaster Innocent Blood.
