    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Ah, cool! So if you want the Jitte, which is presumably one of the more powerful cards, you have to sacrifice something. So while another drafter is getting two cards for his one pick, the Jitte drafter is getting only one card (the Jitte), and they must give up another equipment they already...

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    I don't quite get how this card is supposed to work. How do I reveal the Jitte? What if I never see the Jitte, or I already drafted it? Why specifically the Jitte in the first line, and any equipment in the middle ability? When do you need to put that equipment into the Market, as you draft Gift...

    Wow, classy. :rolleyes: I usually wait it out and buy singles nowadays, boosters are not a reliable way to get your cards, unless you order multiple boxes (and even then the mythics are by no means guaranteed).

    Nice! I liked the challenge of finding some matching art. Wasn't that easy, until I started using some more unconventional word combinations :)

    General Thoughts on Pushing Shard Cards into your 2

    Yeah, I think WotC absolutely nailed the limited format of Khans of Tarkir. Not only was the morph mechanic an insurance to color screw, because you could at least play a gray ogre on turn 3, but the morph mechanic inherently meant a downward shift in power level, allowing the three color cards...

    General Thoughts on Pushing Shard Cards into your 2

    I've built my cube around it. It's much more doable if you limit the number of two-color pairs (and thus three-color pairs) supported. The three-color cards have also seen increased play ever since I introduced the house rule that you get a triland with your three-color card. Three-color...

    I don't get to play my cube that much, but I'm certainly going to try it out, yeah!

    After seeing LSV's first match (, 5:35), I want to add Pilfering Imp even more, and Nightveil Predator even less.

    General 15 cards, 3x, out of 360

    To a degree I'ld say :) I run a 450 card cube to ensure more variety in an 8 people draft, because when I draft, it's often with 8 people. I'ld say that variety would be just as well achieved with 440 or 460 cards, and those numbers are not a mathematical extrapolation of my draft function. Your...

    General Drafting, Synchronization & Latency: An Awful New Asynchronous Draft Format

    No, you're right, they are, but that was not what I had in mind. I probably should have elaborated :) See, a veteran player will recognize the cards, and be quicker to recognize archetypes, whereas an inexperienced player will probably have to read at least half the cards in a booster. Under...

    General Drafting, Synchronization & Latency: An Awful New Asynchronous Draft Format

    That's some serious BTP shit right there :') Anyway, I'm not sure I'm looking for a system that seems to increase the gap between veteran and inexperienced players.

    General 15 cards, 3x, out of 360

    I actually like the math behind 3 packs of 15, because that means in an 8 people draft, a pack will exactly not wheel. I was a mildly annoyed when WotC decided to cut the 15th card in favor of a land ages ago. Applying this same principle, I did a 4 packs of 11 draft with 6 people last year, and...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    That's seems like a safer idea, if you double sleeve it's pretty easy to "decorate" the inner sleeve with a strategically placed sticker.

    General Current opinion on duplicates and other Riptidian/Waddellisms?

    I don't know, I've cube with everything from friends who had last played a game of Magic "back in the day" to hardcore tournament players, and duplicates never tripped any of them up. I do like the idea of visibly marking them though, I might do that if I can find a way to do it inconspicuously :)
