I have a program to create a thread that randomizes the packs and writes out the spoilers and the card images and all that. Then we just hop on skype, have the thread open, and a text file. Tell the person what you take and copy it into the text file. The thread is here, for reference...

Can you guys check that you don't have any cards still from the draft? I noticed we are missing a Brainstorm, and it's possible that other cards are absent too.

The grid drafting was pretty dope though.

I am not necessarily a fan of the design, but I'd just like to point out there are plenty of board states where your opponent is at 10 or fewer life points and you are not in a winning position at all. Indestructible 7/7 sound kinda iffy though (design wise).

This is kind of how Melee is. Nobody is arguing that it couldn't be improved, but its imperfections have come to represent part of its charm. The fact that the game continues to evolve despite 0 code updates is a testament to the community.

Let's calm it down bros. Good points on both sides, we all love each other, etc. et al

Normally, yes, but Kirb was on a time constraint and we just hopped into the matches. Otherwise I may have tried to get the Tezz engine online. In retrospect I probably should have cut one of the Delve spells. I didn't have enough fuel for them. Additionally, I was really surprised with how...

I make a random sampling of the, in this case, non-white cards and put them into the 18 packs. (well, a script does). Now I would: 1) select the 6 on-color shocklands 2) select 138 other cards at random 3) Randomize those to the 16 packs This ensures there is at least 1 dual land for each...

Any of you have any recommendations for buying a headset for streaming?

Comments: 4 color grid drafting worked way better than 5 color. I think I want to seed the dual lands into the draft pool to make sure they are there. Or, maybe seed the shocklands and let the others be random. 18 packs was too many for 4-color grid drafting. You get fewer off-color cards by...

Kirblinx, that formatting is atrocious :p Here's mine. We played 2 matches, I won the first, Kirblinx won the second. It was streamed from the RipLab account, with bad audio quality.

whomp whomp :( Next time!

Anyone want to get on Skype and play some cube in the next few hours?

What are your thoughts on Murderous Cut?

Hey Skrap, PM me with what you need (and I guess your email address). I'll try to ship it over today. There's a sticky post on this forum that explains decklists, but I think the screenshot you used is also perfectly acceptable.

I think for a meta to be cyclical, it has to be able to return to where it started. I don't see that happening. You can argue that people learned to evaluate spider spawning properly, or that Troll players learned to play other creatures (lol), but these things aren't ever going in reverse...

I think a better way to approach the Trygon Predator angle is to eliminate the need for it. Don't run "must kill" artifacts and enchantments, then spend your gold card on something that's sweeter.

Here's a question I've always had in mind. Do you think it would be possible to build a static set of, say, 8 "duel decks" that are approximately balanced with interesting and compelling gameplay? It would have to be a set of deep and skill-intensive decks, that ideally take years to master...

In my experience there are very few utility lands that are actually worth picking up over a dual. Constructed has given us plenty of evidence to this effect over the years.
