This cube is fun but not half as fun as my main cube, which is helping me learn a lot as a designer, but I'm not sure how to apply those lessons here yet. Games feel really board-cloggy, yet sweepers are at the same time overpowered (even the 6-mana ones). I think there are too many bodies and...

This is a good question that I don't really have an answer for. When you go to, say, cubedrafting.com there are a bunch of archetype primers and other things. I think perhaps these sorts of things are okay in the advanced section, with the beginner and intermediate sections being more generic...

I was about to make this point in an article a couple months back then scoured through some daily MODO results and found a bunch of decks with swords.

The "advanced" section is complete! http://riptidelab.com/cube-academy/recursive-black-aggro/ http://riptidelab.com/cube-academy/breaking-singleton/ I've added some thoughts on Breaking Singleton that I've never really written about before, and some examples from the Eldrazi Domain cube.

I've been known to play Grafted Wargear over Swords in aggro. Sweetest equipment: Adventuring Gear

Why rule out the musical?

Thanks for posting! You scared me for a minute with your "90 card guild section", until I realized 40 of those lands. Do you have any particular archetypes or dynamics you've been struggling with? It's a bit difficult to dig through a list and provide useful input if you're already happy with...

Hi guys, we're looking for some feedback on some possible new forum skins. Keep in mind that each of these would be customizable, and would serve as a starting point. For two of them, in the "Information" section you can find details on mobile support and other related item. Soft Responsive...

I thought his article was pretty great. I particularly liked the bit about Pack 2 vs. Pack 3, as it's something I had vaguely perceived before but not quite articulated. I guess it's maybe that people perceive they have control over Pack 2 by cutting, but you also have control over Packs 1 and 3...

I think I need a few more aggro first picks but I really have no idea what those should be or where to put them.

Yeah, I agree that draft guides should be useful. One thing I often see is that decks exist but that the cards aren't really powerful enough to push people into it. It's one thing I struggled with when pushing niche archetypes before, but once people started to draft cool things like sacrifice...

Hmm... good suggestion. Well, I have a whole article series planned on this cube and lessons learned, so I might be a bit sloppy on the explanations until then unfortunately. If I get inspired I'll update the OP, but in the meantime I can only apologize for the mess spread over 10 pages.

Not sure if I built correctly, but the cube is feeling pretty good now. Junk Aristocrats This deck looks really fun and I wish I could play it right now.

I updated my CubeTutor list and even classified the cards according to where I have them on my .txt file: http://cubetutor.com/viewcube/625

Hi Ben, when you describe undoing an update, how exactly is this performed? Do you have to manually sub the cards in and out? Or is there some "undo" button I'm missing?

I had submitted this card once in my bulk upload: And it showed up in both my black and green sections. Went a little crazy hunting down the 361st card.

Agree that it's a bit underpowered for high-power 360 lists. Somebody asked me about it on twitter and my response was:

Does anybody have thoughts on storage lands?
