What mechanism would you use to distribute the shards / wedges?

Sealed! (up to 4 players) Sealed Deck 1: Sealed Deck 2: Sealed Deck 3: Sealed Deck 4:

Surely there's some middle ground. Players rarely first-pick Gravecrawler itself, but will first-pick Dark Confidant or Liliana or something and end up in a Bx sacrifice deck.

Okay guys, I am reviving this concept, with an update. Now that I am doing this as an MTGO cube, it is easier than ever to generate a new list for each draft. My cube now has 360 "slots". Columns 1 and 2 define the slots a card is eligible for. Above, we have 5 Izzet spells eligible for 3...

Do we really need first picks to commit us so heavily in a direction? I'm perfectly happy to take a solid piece of removal in retail draft, knowing that I can still run it wherever the rest of the draft takes me. As long as we end up _somewhere_, do we really care for it being Pick 1? Players...

Hey guys, I was thinking of doing something special for the holiday season. Magical Christmas Land (MCL)! It's not very fleshed out yet, but the basic idea is to let players draft a Tri-Land, and that land comes with a bundle of cards from that Shard / Wedge. There would be some constraints...

That's super generous of you! Cards needed are in my current list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Li9IvhqGz2y9WdQmS7n_E-g863Dctw4-yWdBWXCxJrI/edit#gid=0 BUT! I would probably acquire them before the draft so that we could play with the new toys.

I think you have to run cards that excite people. Some degree of power variability is good. I was super happy to have Kiora in my BFZ sealed pool, and would have had less fun playing if it were a River Boa. Infuse with the Elements was powerful in a unique way that caused me to build my pool...

100 card singleton looked like a pretty fun format. One of my old MLG colleagues used to write articles on the format on Pure MTGO.

True story, I once spitballed with Eric a RipLab competition where I would have people submit a brief description of why they thought a given card was the best designed card in history. And then I realized "I'm just going to accept the best description of Clique", and scrapped the idea.

The old "anti-goodstuff" movement from like 6-7 years ago I think did a lot of damage. Good stuff is essential. The question is, what good stuff do we run?

Just regular Dark Jeskai, I'm guessing.

How did we reach this conclusion? Maybe I've misinterpreted.

Do you guys think Dark Jeskai Pyromancer's Goggles could work in Standard?

I don't think Wasteland is brilliant, nor do I think 6CMC land destruction is broken. Just to ground the conversation, here are the hits for "destroy target land" from Ravnica block: Barbarian Riftcutter Ghost Quarter Helldozer Rolling Spoil Seismic Spike Wrecking Ball Wreak Havoc They...

It's pretty borderline. But it's also fun and has play (and counterplay) to it, so I'm not sure.

Is this a good thing? In the abstract if somebody described a set of cards as "maindeckable Blood Moons against half their non-basics that aren't dead in other matches", I'd be super wary.

I mean, if you find someone who wants to play, you can post your picks in the thread and then run it on Cockatrice or something.
