How did we reach this conclusion? Maybe I've misinterpreted.

Do you guys think Dark Jeskai Pyromancer's Goggles could work in Standard?

I don't think Wasteland is brilliant, nor do I think 6CMC land destruction is broken. Just to ground the conversation, here are the hits for "destroy target land" from Ravnica block: Barbarian Riftcutter Ghost Quarter Helldozer Rolling Spoil Seismic Spike Wrecking Ball Wreak Havoc They...

It's pretty borderline. But it's also fun and has play (and counterplay) to it, so I'm not sure.

Is this a good thing? In the abstract if somebody described a set of cards as "maindeckable Blood Moons against half their non-basics that aren't dead in other matches", I'd be super wary.

I mean, if you find someone who wants to play, you can post your picks in the thread and then run it on Cockatrice or something.

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...
