If you watched the Top 8 of the WMC, you will have seen that all the players were given Unstable basic lands to play with as a way to promote the new set, and they look super cool. I currently have a hodgepodge mix of basics but I'm seriously considering upgrading them all to Unstable once the...

There's some black outlast creatures.

I've been running the Swords for a while with the protection errata'd off, and whilst they have gone down a bit in terms of desirability they're still very good cards. It just means you have to work a little bit to get the full benefit out of them. A curve of 2 drop, 3 drop, 4 drop, sword +...

A couple of grid draft decks:

I cut Bloodline Keeper because he's pretty slow, although unopposed he'll take over a board by himself. If your cube is a bit lower power level he can be a legitimatebomb, as he was in Innistrad draft.

So with Vial Smasher in play every time you play a spell your opponent takes 10? Seems good.

This got a bit lost in the gold removal discussion, any thoughts?

I play Dark Ritual and have done pretty much since I first built my cube, but it's never seen a whole lot of play. Some options you might want to try: Smallpox My immediate first thought, this card is super sweet Undead Gladiator Technically a creature but more like a card filtering...

Is there merit? Is the draft more interesting when faced with Baneslayer Angel vs Oblivion Ring and the drafter has to pick which one their deck needs more, or Baneslayer Angel vs Detention Sphere where they can take the first one and wheel the second without too much risk? My opinion is the...

Whilst I'm here, does anyone play Vial Smasher the Fierce

My reasoning is that if eg Maelstrom Pulse is going to be the same as Oblivion Ring 90% of the time, and I run 50 white cards and 4 green/black cards, why take up the space in the gold section that could go to something more interesting.

That card seems completely insane. I have to try it.

How about Weapons Trainer

I play Shadowmage Infiltrator Psychatog Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas Shadowmage and Psychatog have both been hovering on the cusp of playability. I like Tog enough because it's kind of a unique effect and it's another discard outlet for the decks that want it...

I'm surprised to see Murderous Cut on your low power list, as I would rate that comparably to Doom Blade/Ultimate Price/Go for the Throat, or maybe even ahead and on par with Swords to Plowshares. It has no restriction on what it can target and delve gives a lot of flexibility on cost.

Utility Pack Draft?

Huge leak, looks like about half the set has been spoiled already: https://goodgamery.com/2017/11/rivals-of-ixalan-visual-spoiler/

I like Pernicious Deed but I've tried to steer away from cards that are just "kill a permanent" in multicolour sections, as I think you can find that effect elsewhere and make room for some of the more interesting mulitcolour options. I will add that I absolutely hate Abrupt Decay. "Can't be...

They're so cuddly!
