I was thinking about this more. Brainstorm adds so many decisions to Magic games. Of course you have to think about how to time it, what to put back, when to crack your fetchlands, etc. But there's more than that. Think of these two cards. Brainstorm Grizzly Bears In addition to brainstorm...

The most surprising thing I learned is that fun cards are more important than fun synergies, and that Wizards has been very careful to fill high-level Magic with fun and appealing cards while banning the ones that have a high power::fun ratio. Vendilion Clique Dark Confidant Snapcaster Mage...

I was a little dubious of the Ink Eyes first pick. I also saw one big misplay buy I can't remember what it was.

You play MODO with sound effects on....

http://riptidelab.com/cml-drafts-the-modo-cube/ I haven't actually screened these yet, so they're on a post but not on the front page.

I don't know what dimensions you need, but:

These were the ones I ran when I was running two. At one sword I toggle between them now and then.

This cube is fun but not half as fun as my main cube, which is helping me learn a lot as a designer, but I'm not sure how to apply those lessons here yet. Games feel really board-cloggy, yet sweepers are at the same time overpowered (even the 6-mana ones). I think there are too many bodies and...

This is a good question that I don't really have an answer for. When you go to, say, cubedrafting.com there are a bunch of archetype primers and other things. I think perhaps these sorts of things are okay in the advanced section, with the beginner and intermediate sections being more generic...

I was about to make this point in an article a couple months back then scoured through some daily MODO results and found a bunch of decks with swords.

The "advanced" section is complete! http://riptidelab.com/cube-academy/recursive-black-aggro/ http://riptidelab.com/cube-academy/breaking-singleton/ I've added some thoughts on Breaking Singleton that I've never really written about before, and some examples from the Eldrazi Domain cube.

Thanks for posting! You scared me for a minute with your "90 card guild section", until I realized 40 of those lands. Do you have any particular archetypes or dynamics you've been struggling with? It's a bit difficult to dig through a list and provide useful input if you're already happy with...

Hi guys, we're looking for some feedback on some possible new forum skins. Keep in mind that each of these would be customizable, and would serve as a starting point. For two of them, in the "Information" section you can find details on mobile support and other related item. Soft Responsive...

I thought his article was pretty great. I particularly liked the bit about Pack 2 vs. Pack 3, as it's something I had vaguely perceived before but not quite articulated. I guess it's maybe that people perceive they have control over Pack 2 by cutting, but you also have control over Packs 1 and 3...

I think I need a few more aggro first picks but I really have no idea what those should be or where to put them.
