    Overlap in card demand. This is all about draft environments, archetypes and drafting dynamics.

    General Cubing topics you'd like to see covered in article form

    Uh... so, actually, a lot of my drafters suck at this. They take like 60 cards and shuffle them over and over. That doesn't do a lot. What I do is: 1) place the cube into 8-10 piles 2) take the top 5-6 cards of each pile and shuffle them into a new stack. 3) repeat step 2 until the original...

    Yeah, that may be good. The diagram doesn't have to be fully comprehensive.

    Uh.... I was thinking Trigon of Rage. Lots of metalcraft dudes aren't artifacts (even if there is a dependency), and equipment is all artifacts and that's maybe a mistake. Mostly want to talk about design space, but that was just a rough draft.

    I'm preparing some diagrams for an upcoming article, but I kind of suck at this sort of thing. I can make great graphs, but more "drawn" material isn't really in my skill set. Exhibit A. If anyone wants to help out, let me know. Otherwise I'll be shipping some janky graphs.

    General The Constructed thread

    I was researching some cards today and now my mind is stuck on making a Modern deck around this core of cards: Steppe Lynx Flagstones of Trokair Arid Mesa Windswept Heath Kavu Predator Edge of Autumn Fiery Justice Knight of the Reliquary I know there were Kavu Justice decks around back in the...

    I really like when I have to go deep into the tank with Demonic Tutor to find a way out of a situation.

    General Narrow Card Injection

    Tentative: Currently I have Sidisi in a partial :u::g: slot, mostly because I want to increase the likelihood it shows up for testing purposes. I could be convinced to cut a couple shards / wedges. Went with Rafiq over War Monk because it's the "more exciting" card.

    Personally, Sarkhan more makes me want to go into RUG, whereas Knuckleblade is more like "I guess I'll play this since I'm already RUG".

    Isn't Butcher of the Horde just a bad Falkenrath Aristocrat? They go in the same deck at the same CMC. Abzan Ascendancy is interesting... What do you guys think of Sarkhan Unbroken vs Savage Knuckleblade? Sedraxis Specter. People are always losing their shit over Cruel Ultimatum. I like...

    General Narrow Card Injection

    Siege Rhino vs Doran, the Siege Tower I don't really like Rhino as a card, but it does a lot of what my cube is looking for. Gains life for black life payment and pod life payments. It's a Pod target. Doran is... a dude that nerfs everything else? So many cube cards have more power than...

    Card/Deck How to execute a minimalist Enchantment theme

    Probably have to tone everything down at that point. Just build a second cube Eric. :p

    Speaking of, I thought I had Atarka's Command on the account, but I don't see it anymore. Maybe I'm just dumb, but on the off chance, does anyone have it?
