    Card/Deck Token/Sacrifice themes in Red

    This theme is partially implemented in my big sacrifice update that has become a mainstay in my cube, but there is certainly room to push it further. Some other important angles: - Threaten effects. These combine super super well with sac outlets, in addition to being powerful on their own...

    You mean the card that is constantly countering stuff for X = 3 or greater? Pin it on me. I'm pretty tired of talking about it though, so...

    General Hey Eric Chan, when can you draft with us?

    Oh, cause I was going to schedule one for some time when you were available because I miss you.

    This is a very good argument. Nonetheless I'm going to test them for testing sake.

    I wanted to see if it felt dumb. Indeed, it feels dumb. Jonas, do you agree?

    My games tonight were soooo much fun. I'm going to write a full CFB draft write-up. This is what I love about Magic. I was smiling the whole time. Epic games between me and James.

    I think it's pretty valid from a player perspective to complain about just about anything. You play games to enjoy them, and if something is limiting that, certainly voice your opinion. From a design perspective you have to consider whether fixing such a complaint actually makes the game more...

    Card/Deck Brainstorm as a lynchpin

    I dunno, I think Brainstorm is legitimately skill testing. It's just the right amount of strategic complexity without being overwhelming. Watch someone cast it in cube sometime and see how often they do exactly what you would do.

    Card/Deck Green 5-drops

    It seems good potentially good. Both cards require something "extra" to get good value out of. Broodmaster has a natural line to putting 19 (!) power on the board on Turn 7, but requires a full untap and has no trample. Baloths can get you 14 the turn you play it, if you hold a fetchland. They...

    Ah, sorry to hear that. No worries if you have to drop, hope you get that all sorted out.

    Uh, well, this always happens. We'll get last minute pile-ons. Last time we ran an 8-man draft and then 4 actually played. I'm not counting it out yet.
