This would be the first instance (that I am aware of) of Giant tribal as an archetype. However, the Titans kind of win the game on their own and I'm not sure if your cube has nearly enough fuel to keep a Jotun grunt online.

No worries about shooting down suggestions. I do it all the time too, but often a not-quite-right suggestions spurs additional thoughts, which is why I post stuff like Jotun Grunt regardless. I think it's funny how different our assessments of Tarmogoyf are, but a lot of that is very...

I prototyped a front page in Wordpress. I've never used Wordpress before, but here's what I whipped up to show the potential: http://moxmoxbalancego.wordpress.com/ A nice little minimalist site that links clearly to our forums, allows for beautiful card images, and can be a great home to...

Another option is to go the Innistrad route: add even more graveyardy stuff, and by virtue any graveyard hate becomes less narrow as graveyard strategies take up a greater proportion of your design.

There's also junk like this card:

Yeah, that's an interesting point. The current RTR full block draft is very front-loaded on fixing, and it creates an interesting dynamic. Do I take these powerful cards now, or take fixing to give myself better freedom to take powerful cards later?

Well, I don't currently have a graveyard theme so much as I have a Gravecrawler theme. I gave some ideas here for Gravecrawler hate (http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cube-design-remodeling-part-two/), but they are mostly things that send creatures to exile/library instead of the...

Yeah, this sort of junky discussion.

Hi Vibe, my main question regarding these sorts of archetypes is "why cards are good storm cards that other decks also want". This is a pretty key element to the design for me. From a design-standpoint, cards like Burning-Tree Emissary (as I see Dom mentioned) are really vital there. Suspend...

30 Fetchlands in 540 cards would be the same density as 20 in 360, and I can tell you firsthand it hasn't been a problem. Horizon Canopies are welcome anywhere. As are shocks, painlands, etc. checklands are fine too.

Okay Chris, I am sorry, but we are going to have to hold Flavor Court, right here, right now. Shardless Agent is an artifact creature, suggesting some sort of Espery thing. However, his colors are UG, which only fit in Bant. This is a mis-match, hence, no shard. Shardless. The prosecution...

Hey everybody, I need new people to follow. Here's my junk: https://twitter.com/jwaddell_

Oh, and one last comment: Relentless Persecution (Addle) - Maybe try the Oracle wording? http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=23030

Ah, yes, I will admit, when I wrote my original post I hadn't worked my way through all your (now non-existing) spoiler tags. But now I have gotten through all of them! I will start by saying that I really love your custom cards. Most of them feel great, and I would be super excited to draft...

I think it's time to write an article about how all the existing classification systems completely miss the point.

This is an open call for any narrow/sideboard cards you have loved over the years. Microdrafting will be a format of weird threats and sweet answers. Also narrow/situational threats are fine. Illusory Angel and its ilk. 15 card decks are small enough to play with rigid mechanical ties.

Yeah, that line happens. Another unique aspect of them is that if you let them ETB tapped, they can be Wastelanded.

You mean the shock fetchlands that I made up and mentioned in some article? Aggro and control love shock-fetches and real fetchlands. It's really just a personal preference thing. I use all real cards now, but given how adventurous you are that won't be an impediment. This is pretty firmly in...

Hey Zarepath, welcome to the forums! Designing a block cube is a great way to start, and as a general rule, your cube should be able to be at least as fun as real full-block drafting. Regarding your question of whether it will be too multicolored, I would say that there's no strict right or...

Hi Vince. I ran through a draft on TappedOut, but I think it was hard to get an accurate sense of how the cube plays out in practice. My draft had almost no fixing Pack 1, and I got sucked into a mono-color deck. You mentioned that you seed in guild cards at a higher proportion in your opening...
