Yeah, I agree that draft guides should be useful. One thing I often see is that decks exist but that the cards aren't really powerful enough to push people into it. It's one thing I struggled with when pushing niche archetypes before, but once people started to draft cool things like sacrifice...

Hmm... good suggestion. Well, I have a whole article series planned on this cube and lessons learned, so I might be a bit sloppy on the explanations until then unfortunately. If I get inspired I'll update the OP, but in the meantime I can only apologize for the mess spread over 10 pages.

Not sure if I built correctly, but the cube is feeling pretty good now. Junk Aristocrats This deck looks really fun and I wish I could play it right now.

I updated my CubeTutor list and even classified the cards according to where I have them on my .txt file: http://cubetutor.com/viewcube/625

Hi Ben, when you describe undoing an update, how exactly is this performed? Do you have to manually sub the cards in and out? Or is there some "undo" button I'm missing?

I had submitted this card once in my bulk upload: And it showed up in both my black and green sections. Went a little crazy hunting down the 361st card.

Agree that it's a bit underpowered for high-power 360 lists. Somebody asked me about it on twitter and my response was:

Does anybody have thoughts on storage lands?

Is it? It's a strange card because the two halves are pretty bad in situations where the other half is good. The anthem is unlikely to kick in during the aggro mirror (where lifegain actually helps), and the lifegain is unlikely to matter in against control (where the anthem does help). Other...

I've been known to do these sorts of shenanigans. Take the fetch and figure it out later.

Yeah, I see where you're coming from, and I think you have some good inspiration with Innistrad. I also like your ideas about overlapping and providing your drafters with an escape route. This part I'm not as sure if I agree with. I think the design should communicate its ideas with the...

The "obvious first pick" removal is one tool, but I'd be careful with taking it too far. Part of what makes draft work is having cards that people are excited about. It's just a balance. Part of the problem is overpowered cards that people aren't actually excited about, but play because they are...

What are the worst Magic card names of all time?

Hard to believe you are too poor when you have stuff like Voice of Resurgence floating around in there. I gave your cube a spin and it felt pretty good. You mentioned a ton of themes in your OP, but I'm not sure how well all of them come through. You also mentioned that this list is different...

Testing Craterhoof Behemoth instead of Avenger of Zendikar.

I am strangely drawn to this card: Catch // Release Supports CMC matters but I don't know if it's sufficiently useful.

I can keep Cabal Therapy in for testing. I played a ramp deck so it's possible I am a little distorted in my view here. Death Spark is a card that I love, and would be sure to run in a Tortured Existence cube. Not sure how great it would be here. I don't think the aggro decks are all that...
