Father and son team drafting league?

Man blue cards are so freaking good.

A guy on the cube forums was asking about what it would take for a 6drop to be cubable but not pass the Terminatetest or provide any value. Guerrilla Gorillas 4GG Creature - Ape Soldier (R) Flash, Trample 7/7 Also my contest entry for today. Tell me if you think of a cute flavor text.

Woah really? Is there like a whiteboardered alternative? That's incredibly depressing. Finding starter gems sounds like record hunting.

Two out of the last 3 times I cubed I was really trying to force Kiki. It only actually ended in that direction once but I really think that value Kiki decks are a great way to give red a little breadth. Copying war marshal is so cute. Imperial recruiter is nuts and anything that can take a...

This philosophy really makes me curious about how it drafts. The poorer removal especially has my interest. I might be inclined to use some promo new face options to extend the range of your options though. A pernicious deed here an ftk there won't mess with the power level too much and might...

Haha I recommended it today on salvation to a guy looking for help with his ideas for a multicolor cube before I had seen this. I had no idea salvation was seeming like the enemy, but from the look of the garbage you get sometimes in the Facebook comments on CFB articles I can see how the...

Also I have to say I'm super impressed with the amiable tone and sorta discourse I'm seeing here on a number of threads. I think I might be bringing it down a bit with my phone paragraphs but you hardly see any arguments of authority, dismissive citations, raised hackles or anything on here. I...

It's kinda funny because I really liked drafting RAV RAV GLD and RAV GLD DIS but I look back at those drafts now and realize those really fell apart when they didn't didn't come together and not too many formats will be able to resemble those ones. Maybe it was the card advantage lands and the...

Yeah I think I'm just talking to Chris about our dumb experiences in half that post. Banning worship and capsize for power reasons is a moment I giggle a little when I recall. The way it reminded me of this stuff was that there were an awful lot of synergy cards and an obvious focus on value...

The magic box had a cute skeleton for the generic hammerblow nostalgia style cube.

Jason I'll try to get look into it a little better when I'm not just on a coffeebreak on my phone. I'll say now though that I prefer cubes where your third colour spash feels like a treat and that I very much like formats where 2 colour decks have really solid legs to stand on and there are...

I had a real bad habit of taking solemn simulacrum and epochrasite early and venser always made me feel even more excited about those picks.

Man domain stuff and things that make players want to play a million colours are always so little fun for me to play with. Reminds me of so many bad draft formats and the frustrating aspects of good ones. Maybe I've just got some grumpy old man set in his ways syndrome. Some of these seem...

I think what I meant to say was that sometimes despite being scary and swingy the big flashy spells are fine because they require some commitment and at the end of the day your deck is trying to lean on haymakers (even if they are very good ones) and they aren't impossible to deal with but...

Wow these choices are so curious to me. I really like the way lingering souls makes decks that might struggle work though and how it adds to stuff like sorin or anthems or carrion feeder while making cards like electrolyze and tramplers feel really good. I just always see it as an interesting...

If I come cube some time I'll bring one or two of my favourite party games. Sabateur is a constant hit with new faces at boardgame nights and I've never had a partner that couldn't get into it. I loooooooooove hidden enemy mechanic games or mafia games. Have a couple drinks with some new people...

Not really necessarily. I think your cube is easily sorta considered that. I feel like cubes are a type of original draft format but yours seems like it breaks enough rules where it feels like you were just making a really neat format with some definite design decisions that you seems to be...

I really liked the last legend mechanic, I never had to play much standard with planeswalker wars but I'm sure it was annoying. Love my 2cc jitte killers.

Does anyone have any hot links to information on these topics? Anyone got a good community of homebrew draft set brewers or some lists to glance at. I'm new to this stuff and I hear things every once in a while but I have no idea where to start looking. This can be a place to discuss those...
