You need MODO and a Skype account. Basically you and a partner make picks over Skype, then import the decks into MODO via Cloudshift and play it out. But you need somebody with access to the RipLab account, and I'm out of the country right now. Contact James, safra or aoret.

I wouldn't suggest unlimited Wastelands, and personally wouldn't want more than 2 in a cube deck. The biggest issue I have with Wasteland in my own cube is that sometimes you just can't play around it. You're a :w::u: deck, and you need your Arid Mesa to grab you blue mana. You have to get a...

To this effect I'd say that an underpowered archetype is far more of a problem than an overpowered one. Given sufficient fixing, players can all divvy up something strong until it is sufficiently weak. You just have to make your archetypes flexible enough. People at my local store believed...

The more I think about this idea, the more I like it. The Fetchland / Wasteland gets far more interesting when you have on color fetches (Scalding Tarn in your :u::r: deck), but it's pretty impractical from a "I need 10 playsets and each playset costs $200" point of view.

I think you make some great points, to which I would say: 1) metagame design is hard. If this site is bad at it, probably part of that can be attributed to the fact that I'm not particularly good at it. The big challenge is that much of our design is still anchored in power-max philosophy...

I don't. I still categorically disagree with the idea that any sort of cyclical metagame exists in draft, and much of the thread seemed to be overly complex discussions about the relationship between threats and answers.

These are possible, but I'd have to entirely redesign the cube from a ground up. And there are plenty of effects that I don't want 2 (or 4) of in my environment, so drafting individual cards gives more granularity. With either of these approaches I think you have to resort to: a) having fewer...

I don't run Mentor? Is this from your unlimited fetches format?

I like it in theory, especially with the 1/1 guy who grabs a land from your top 4. Some of these work with Delve and Kotr too.

I plan to start a series where I test brewed cube decks (e.g Naya Landfall Aggro with Flagstones of Trokair and Titania) against a gauntlet of other cube decks. For this, I need a gauntlet. We have a large library of 3-0 decks in the other thread, but I would like to also have some more...

Did you type dargon on purpose? Please say yes.

Have they tried mono-red aggro with 4 Wastelands?

I want to build a cube with a removal metagame but it would kind of need to be built from scratch. Basically I want the cool "play around this" metagaming that happens in Standard, and that doesn't really happen (to anywhere near the same extent) when 100% of your removal spells are singleton.

Pssh, don't steal my rolling thunder eric.

I should have elaborated. It's more that both have some sort of creature / board dependency, whereas Lightning Helix of Finks or Nighthawk can all just do their thing on their own.

I wish either of these really worked in control.

As an aggro player which would you rather put in your deck?
