Yeah, this is all about consistency in design. It's the topic of my next article. In my current cube we sometimes have two-color decks with 8-9 fixers. They're very powerful.

These are both very good ideas, and all I can say is to keep your eyes open. We've got something in the works. :D

Hmm... your six only has one CITP untapped land. Also, count me in for preferring Vivids over shard lands.

Thanks for posting Arjan! Your list looks pretty interesting. Unfortunately I have to get ready for work now, but I'll post some more detailed comments later today.

I like to think that this is an open place to discuss ideas. Heck, even having a devil's advocate around is extremely helpful, and we all learn a lot just by discussing. I'm really glad you are engaging these threads so enthusiastically, don't worry about bringing anything down. My goal is to...

Well, there's certainly a spectrum with "synergy unlocks". My main cube has various cards like Furnace Celebration, Goblin Bombardment and even the aforementioned Eldrazi Monument, which are all really awful on their own. But they bring a lot to the environment, and the fact that there are so...

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the feedback. I just want to be able to parse exactly what the comment is. For example, some people didn't like Innistrad because of preference. But so long as we're making Innistrad, we should make it as good as possible. Regarding okay cards that can be...

This was pretty funny: !

I don't really know what you mean for this last part. There are a couple other messages in your post. The first is something about a preference for formats that are focused on fewer colors. Perhaps this article is of interest to you...

It's something we pretty desperately need on the site actually. So desperately that it would probably be a permanent fixture on the front page (next to the "About" link, which also needs some work). We're also waiting on an article or two from Eric, if he'll ever get off his lazy (city of) ass...

That Condescend tech is pretty fantastic.

Errr... yeah. Oops.

I once heard of somebody using City of Ass to kill for exactsies via Devil's Play + flashback. Also, I really really don't want more :b::b: cards around.

Well, I think a lot of it comes down to execution. Personally I have a lot of fun when I pull off a good 3-4 color aggro deck in my primary cube. There's also a big pitfall of early cube designers of putting tons of gold cards in without supporting them with sufficient fixing. Also, many of...

Agreed. He was much better in my cube around the time when he was first printed. I ran a very different cube then.

Well, Oracle of Mul Daya has been in and out forever. It's been a pretty inconsequential card here. I don't know if "worth a pick in the main cube" is a criterion for exclusion from the utility land draft. The main idea is to make sure there are good decision dynamics in each. That said, I've...

I just realized I don't have this card in my list: It's also possible that with all the spawn tokens I should be running more sacrifice effects? These seem pretty fun. Are there more cool sacrifice effects that are better suited for a lower power cube?

Hmm... interesting card. I imagine it's pretty slow at 5 mana. For comparison 5-mana in my cube buys you artifacts like: Then again, Venser is 5 mana. Then again sometimes people don't even play Venser because he's pretty weak.

So here's what I am trying: Out of main cube: City of Brass Grand Coliseum Oracle of Mul Daya Into main cube: Celestial Colonnade Creeping Tar Pit Horizon Canopy Out of Utility Land Draft: All two color fixing lands New Utility Land Draft Fixing Section: Reasoning: I wanted to have...
