For P1P1 scenarios, it honestly comes down to familiarity with Cube for me. If I don't know what to expect, I'm just going to pick the strongest card I see that leaves me most flexible. Or just a stupid bomb if I see it. I'll dive deeper with picks if I'm familiar with the cube/format and know...

These are some of my favorites: Crusade Day of Destiny Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite Wandering Ones Feldon of the Third Path Darksteel Plate Doran, the Siege Tower

Myth Realized is really sweet, but it only fits into certain decks and even then only if it's your T1-T3 play. Otherwise, it's not very likely to play a role in your match as the cost for putting a lore counter on there is too steep to do so multiple times in one turn. I would definitely stick...

Hymn is completely fine in my cube. I don't think any of my drafters have ever really felt that terrible after a hymn. I mean yeah, it could strip you of your next two land drops and then you're screwed, but that's just bad luck. There was one time that where someone pulled of...

I had this BW list a while back, it's typical of what I'd want to see from that archetype. The big problem with white weenie is that you have such a small window to push in damage before you're outclassed, but increasing your critical mass of early drops with double Bloodsoaked really really...

As far as the slow fetches go, personally I prefer to keep all my dual color fixing (fetches, shocks, etc.) in the main draft portion of the Cube. I guess it's worth a try sometime in ULD if you can scrounge up copies. The only thing turning me off would be that they aren't all in modern frame...

Anathemancer is a cool card, it just has tough competition with other Rakdos cards. I usually just prefer Fulminator Mage anyway b/c of the hybrid costs.

I like watching drafts mostly, then games if the commentary is good/the deck is sweet. The more 6-8 mans we can put together, the better. I liked Jason's video from yesterday, it was pretty fun to watch and interact. No Bob betrayal by taking 7 to the face though.

Quilting is pretty fun. I could write up something for it, covered it briefly in my Cube thread like a week back.

Of that listing I'd say Hellspark, Marauders and Chainwalker are the 3 most cuttable, with Chainwalker as my first choice. He's just not that interesting to me and Stormblood kind of occupies the same space and is a better card most of the time.

Sure, that's true, but you can also use shrine in non-red decks as a crappy slow source of damage. I mean, it won't happen often, but it's a possibility if you're pushing for playable removal. I only really classify cards under a given color for my cube if there's literally no other way to play...

I bring him in my cube from time to time then cut him after a while. Silverblade is completely fine if you're some BW or RW aggro deck, but it's when he gets paired with any big green dude that it gets stupid.

I'd probably just cut Gore-House Chainwalker. He's okay, but he's not interesting at all. Lightning Berserker is a stud. It's one of the few red one-drops that isn't a complete topdeck late in the game because you can actually just dash him out and force at least a trade with fire-breathing...

A top 10 favorites list could be a fun read How to push fringier archetypes and/or support them without being poison-y (Enchantress, Reanimator, UB Tezz etc.) More card spotlights when a new set is out (or at least just cover your favorite card spoiled from the set) Articles on archetypes that...

Trap card, not as good as advertised b/c you feel like you have to pick every warrior that comes your way afterwards. It's not all that great. I think Fabled Hero is the best 1WW double-strike variant that we've had thus far.

What? RAYMOND SWANLAND is evolving! Banefire Vengevine Rubblehulk Temple of Deceit Raised by Wolves Qarsi Deceiver Kozilek's Sentinel

I thought that they might be fake early when it was only two spoilers with Kozilek and the basic, but then the third image popped up from a different source. And that one looks like a pic taken with a camera. Then I went through the numbers, art, and wording and they all seem legit to me. I...

Spoilers are going to start up soon enough, these are a few images that popped up on Reddit earlier today. I don't know how legit they are, but they could just be really really good fakes. If so, best fakes ever:

Me please, I'll PM my email.

Yes, I'd go with safra's suggestion. Ruination is a very feelbad card if you end up going 3 colors. You get punished so hard for trying to fix your mana. If you don't want your drafters to hate you, run the fairer version of it so that you don't have as many non-games. Using a Cataclysm or...
