    My thoughts: 5 is significantly less than 6 in an actual game, but 8 is significantly more than 6 also! These thoughts aren't very sophisticated. I expect this one will see much more constructed play than Phyrexian Rebirth, which, to be fair, if memory serves had to compete with the likes of...

    Fight club: this versus the phyrexian wrath.

    I logged on to /r/magicTCG for the first time in over a year to see if there were new BFZ spoilers, and there was a post about grid drafting. https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/3jy974/little_twist_on_grid_draft_for_two_players_using/ Then I googled "grid draft" and "grid drafting" and...

    General Fight Club

    I think in Modern, at least, that there are so few permanents on the board that the evasion doesn't make a huge difference. 5/5 is going to rumble in anyways, very few creatures there can block it. It's not like Delver that needs the evasion to swing in without trading. Although the deck runs...

    I gotta say, it's kind of crazy how much people play Tombstalker with a {B} reduction and no flying. Considering Tombstalker was getting precisely 0 play.

    Yeah, for sure. Like, it's not amazing but I'd be happy to play with it in draft.

    Seems pretty solid. It doesn't have flying or immediately cantrip, but it's a nice ability to have.

    In the Caleb D games there was no tension. Once the Eldrazis dropped it was just anticlimax.

    General That awkward moment. . .

    I played Jace v Vraska a lot with my brother and enjoyed it. I would go against Chris and say don't play a non-interactive "spells only" deck like burning vengeance. Most casual decks don't interact on that axis, I mean, this guy's could be an exception, but it's potentially a formula for...

    Wait, are these new Shocklands standard legal, or, what's the deal with them?

    General Drafting Constructed Decks

    Abstractly I like the idea (what if constructed were drafting instead of deckbuilding). Not sure what I can add, sounds like a format that would only work on Cockatrice or something. Mostly I wish CFB would release more Modern videos.

    I know we have CML in Seattle, but that's like 4 hours away or something. Not aware of anyone closer.

    Because of the "l" button?

    I think Converge in this set is actually fairly elegant. It's the set's "proliferate", if you will. We have two multicolor tribes, which presumably encourage you to go deep by crossing color lines. Then in both cases you have a mechanic that rewards such behavior, in the way that proliferate...

    One Pack One Pick (p1p1 thread)

    Is Agent that strong? Giving up X individual picks for one pack of X cards seems like it's rarely a winning value proposition.

    Your formatting made me count whether it was a haiku or not.

    Someone should make a graph, where the x-axis is time and the y-axis is "Percentage of Riptide posts actually about cube design".

    It looks like fan art of Gideon as a falconer, but halfway through the artist remembered they don't know how to draw a falcon.

    Card/Deck +1/+1 Counters

    I figure it's good enough for ULD. I run it. People try to go deep with it occasionally, maybe it's not correct. Works especially well with the Green PWs that make tokens. (OG Garruk can even untap it to give creatures +2/+2, suddenly Xenagos is making 3/3 hasty duders). It's got a moderately...
