Jeez you have a boring life.

Probably no more than 90 minutes.

Except for the whole "target nonlegendary" clause.

Well, in statistics we do a lot of breaking variance into variance components. In cube I feel the variance in deck power is much more driven by the differences in player skill, whereas in a normal draft it feels more driven by the power level of cards opened. Obviously there's a little bit of...

You run double Snappy Snaps? Did that deck ever Venser soft-lock? Venser + Kiki got me excited until I realized it was a nonbo.

Yeah, unfortunately there aren't many spare Goyfs floating around. I'm friends with a guy with a playset, but he moved out of town and I haven't seen him much later. "Hey buddy, long time no see, how those goyfs doing?"

Yeah, I've seen that Matt Nass video. I wonder if Flagstones of Trokair is better with the M14 legend rules. Unfortunately I don't really have the fetchlands to make a Boros Landfall deck work. But maybe I could just do it with a 5 color mana base? I have 4x Arid Mesa, and 2x of all the...

B/W Ajani Pridemage Extorters / Archangel of Thuners. You'd be the first to try it.

Interesting. Our Pod decks are always doing ridiculous things with Restoration Angel it seems, so I haven't seen the "weak to fliers" bit yet. But that could also be due to our green decks being more multicolor than yours?

Yeah, this could be good. My current red 5's are: Emrakul's Hatcher Emrakul's Hatcher Caldera Hellion Perhaps I could ditch a Hatcher. They're kind of necessary, but I also feel a little terrible drafting / casting them.

Sometimes Bitterblossom is super slow and makes you feel bad for playing it. It's no Lingering Souls, that's for sure. But then again you don't run LS so maybe things are different.

Yeah, Birthing Pod is a pretty solid 3. Did I not mention it? I know I suggested it to Eric at one point in time.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy not having Reanimator in my cube. It's kind of a one-or-the-other thing, as I want to play Entomb and friends for the black aggro stuff, and don't want hyper-consistent reanimator floating around. You can still get cool decks like this one, just have to be a bit more creative.

Yeah, on further inspection the Geopede was terrible. But I'm really scratching my head for 2's. This deck really needs Goyfs to apply pressure, and I don't have a suitable replacement at the moment.

I tried swapping in Plated Geopede and Geopede has been very non-terrible so far.

I see these 5-color zoo decks playing a couple Noble Hierarchs, but I only have one so I tried out Birds of Paradise instead. BoP is so much worse than Hierarch. The only real advantage is that BoP can get in for 5 evasive damage off of a Might of Alara.

Where did this UR Faeries list come from? http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/MagicOnlineTourn.aspx?x=mtg/digital/magiconline/tourn/5798530 3 nearly identical lists in the Top 8 of a Modern Premier.

Hmm... with 12 packs each player only gets 30 - 36 picked cards. Then you get decks that are as terrible as Winchester decks (or worse). Never read the comments I suppose.
