You and I both know his cube is not modern only. Edric? Flooded Strand? Case rested. :)

Additionally you could cut Olivia. You know in terms of balance of aggro, Shock is a much more "anti-aggro" card than Lightning Bolt. Shock is less useful in clearing out blockers, less useful at burning the face or midrange dudes like Olivia, but still great against aggro 1- and 2-drops.

Well, for reference, my 4-drop green section: Kozilek's Predator Vengevine Obstinate Baloth Thrun, the Last Troll Wickerbough Elder I don't think Rosheen is too far off the curve. Off the curve, but not ridiculously so. Another option is something like Deadbridge Goliath. It's not huge in...

And Boros Charm apparently. Zenith might be a little sketchy in the mainboard here. Underworld Connections instead?

You mean Chain Lightning ?

Not playing Hero seems like a crime. You only have Taurean Mauler as a target for the Flamekin Harbinger. Might want to cut a color?

I'm liking the new background color on the decklists.

No, I'd say these are all fairly accurate assessments.

Yeah, I'm sure it is. Right now part of my design space is tied up with the sacrifice theme, so I have to use red two-drops that support that. If I was going for a more generic aggro plan the creature distribution would be different.

Teach me the ways of knowing the contents of the top of your library.

Thalia is there but the images are messed up. I was testing Eric's new code.

As opposed to the alternative where you are already locked by your deck and simply don't know it.

I'll code up an example alternative in D3 when I have time. I mostly do static graphs in R and only dabble in web graphics. In the meantime: This is a bit of a classic case of a graph that has all the information but takes much longer to process than it should. For example, let's say I want...

I like it, but it's super buggy for me: http://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/seacoast-drake-is-the-best-card-in-m14.165/page-2

FWIW I run neither Gorehouse or Cloistered Youth and those sections still feel plenty strong. White: Accorder Paladin Kor Skyfisher Leonin Relic-Warder Stoneforge Mystic Fencing Ace Lone Missionary Wall of Omens Thalia, Guardian of Thraben Red: Mogg War Marshal Burning-Tree Emissary...

Yeah, fun maximization is incredibly difficult. 20 years later and Wizards are still improving at it.

Hey Ben, what software are you using for creating your analytics graphs? I have some ideas for improving the visualizations. Another thought I had regarding the pick orders it seems like things might get "stuck" in a suboptimal place. Like let's say my list starts off with people picking lands...

One time I put together a 3 - 0 Rec-Sur deck with Thragtusk and just felt like a terrible human being. There was not really anything my opponents could do about it. Recurring Nightmare is no longer in my cube.

So this is actually a really interesting topic and one that is hard to address. I deal with a variant of it in my ChannelFireball cube reviews. All cubes are different. However, if we just say they are different and leave it at that we don't have much common ground for discussion. "There are...

Thrummingbird + Animar + Pentad Prism? :)
