I think focusing on consistency is a bit of a misnomer. All draft sets emphasize redundancy (critical mass of aggro one-drops, for example), regardless of whether they have the same name or are functionally identical. Functional similarity is a bit of a spectrum. Imagine we have the following...

Boros Elite -> Dryad Militant : Need an increased hybrid density Dawnfluke: It's true this fits the Morbid and Elemental themes, but it's also a little terrible and nobody wants it in their deck. Topple: I don't really need something exclusively anti-ramp, and wanted both an increased density...

I looked at your mana base and thought "Jesus, 3 white sources just for the possibility of hardcasting Iona?" then later realized "oh right, Unburial Rites".

When you make the "button" for doing these, make sure you have some boilerplate example pop up. Much easier to edit an existing template than have to type all the "Ones Lands etc." headers. Also, in terms of the card image tagging Cardname will cause an error, but Cardname works. This is a...

I suppose your ending "cantrip ranking" is going to be a function of your shuffle density. I think Brainstorm is the best one in my cube. Before doubling on fetches and some other changes, I agree that Preordain was the best. This is an interesting topic as I think skill-based decision density...

I have no idea what to think of this card in an Eldrazi spawn-focused cube. This is the coolest counterspell I have ever seen.

I had no idea this card existed... I have so many feelings right now. There should probably be more colors in this art. I cannot fathom the brain that would give birth to this card. Magic art used to have different standards.

I cannot for the life of me come up with an acceptable non-land 4-drop to replace Collapsing Borders. EDIT: Maybe we just add another creature?

I need a new Dimir card. Which of these do you guys like?

General thoughts: Even with a dozen or so hybrid one-drops, I think I should still double down on a few more (Deathrite Shaman, Dryad Militant, Figure of Destiny). Could probably use another Burning-Tree Emissary too. This is all to help make the ____blade cards more appealing. There was some...

Yeah "weak creatures with large tribal benefits" is a formula for very disjoint archetypes. "Strong creatures with weak tribal benefits" can add flexibility and depth to your environment if implemented well.

Silvercoat Lion's front and back halves look like they were drawn by two different people of very different artistic abilities.

Got complaints that Duskmantle Seer is OP. Except from the guy who had it + Sensei's Divining Top and thought it was super sweet.

Pretty sure that one will disappear with Young Electro.
