I think it's more important to vary your design space than your card space. Playing with > 360 may superficially change the cards that you see from draft to draft without actually giving you greater archetypal variety. You only see 360 cards per draft, and you want to make sure those cards are...

Include a blue card that is only marginally good in the all-swamps deck... :)

I had this card in before: I found that it wasn't really needed. Terraformer is simply attrocious here Hannes. It sets your Domain count to 1.

Grab the Reins is pretty neat, especially if you have other sacrifice efffects floating around.

An analogy I've had in my head for archetypes is a multidimensional Venn diagram. You'll note that there are some regions that only support one "archetype", but these ideally should be pretty minimal and pull a lot of weight. They are cards to incentivize you to go into the "dedicated ____...

Your list looks fun and really tasteful. I have a question about Seance. Other than ETB effects, are there alternative ways to take advantage of it? i.e. beneficial sacrifice effects, things that grant other creatures haste, etc. If you're supporting Madness I consider these two pretty neat:

I dunno, Eric hasn't still answered my "why Modern restricted" question to my satisfaction. Truth is he doesn't have to logic it out. He can just say "because I feel like it" and that's probably good enough for me. But I still want to know! You can't "technical difficulties" your way out of this...

The decks were so much fun tonight that we played a few games after the tournament was over (I won the draft 3 - 0). 1) Against losing finalist Maxime Heylen (of recent CFB fame losing to Marijn Lybaert, also in the finals of a tournament), he opened T2 Jitte, T3 Man-o'-War bounding my Dark...

I just had the most fun cube night I've ever had. I am really happy right now.

I'll check in on this another day (busy today), but for the moment here is an article tangentially related to your question: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cube-design-the-poison-principle/

Just curious, why peasant and not budget?

Time to pull the Isochron Scepter out of the trade binder?

MMA was nice because, despite some bad drafting dynamics vis a vis the Poison Principle, the games were actually pretty fun to play. It wasn't better because the set was combining disjoint archetypes from several years worth of sets that didn't mesh together all that well. But that's more of...

I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it.
