Well, Magic would certainly be less fun if all lands were Utopia lands that tapped for all five colors. I suspect everyone has their preferred spot along the spectrum.

Did a quick draft with it. Needed to make two more cuts for a Simic rampy deck. No Primeval Titans. :(

If anybody wants to test draft it, I put the list on TappedOut: http://tappedout.net/mtg-cube-drafts/future-cube/

Hi guys, I've been trying to brainstorm ways to deal with the testing bottleneck. I often have the opportunity to run two-player drafts, but I don't find Grid Drafting (or any other variant) super useful for actually tuning and iterating my cube. I've been trying to brainstorm an easy drafting...

Yes, beating people with underdrafted decks is usually my go to move. We have some local stubbornness though. No matter how many times I 3 - 0 with multicolor aggro decks, some drafters just don't learn how to draft the archetypes. Re: undervaluing statistics: I'll say that if I had access to...

Alright, I now have the first rough draft. 360 cards. It is undoubtedly very terrible, but if anybody cares to take a look and tell me specifically in what ways they think it's terrible, I would be most appreciative...

Flametongue Kavu is fantastic.

Well, just submitted my first set review to the editor. I couldn't resist the temptation, and had to bury one really awful pun in there.

This looks pretty sweet and novel. I'll need to find a table large enough to accommodate it. I really like the spatial nature of it. How did you come to the 32 number? That feels like an abnormally small number of picks for forming a 40 card deck (especially since you mention hatedrafting)...

Chris, I appreciate the justifications. From a player perspective though I do consider cards like Nekrataal and Skinrender pretty vital to the success of my deck. I know there are many cards you don't run because they have high raw power, but it feels like there's some bias against the midrange...

I think we're in the domain of "different strokes for different folks". I mean, I had a blast going 7 - 0 at a free Pack Wars event last year, and part of the fun was that the mana was so atrocious. My rare in the opening pack was Worldfire, and my deck had three red sources in it. It's not what...

Well, what I'm currently looking for are the cards that fit the themes pushed in the cube best. There are a ton of high-power cards not on the list, so that the pushed themes actually have room to shine. Regarding Fires, we're going to have lots of pesky little Eldrazi Spawn Tokens running...

I'll apologize for this one. A couple times when I've submitted a piece and he has emailed me back to say "I was about to write on the same topic". Yeah, Andy's stuff has always been really great, but I think he probably has his hands full most of the time.

Hooly crap, you can card tag an entire list of cards? Great work Eric!

All I can say to these two cards is that I'm sorry it took so long.

Hi Vince, thanks for the suggestion! I have not tested that card, but I'll put it on my list. Great flavor text!

Yeah, mystery solved.

FSR, what would you think about cards like this in a Tinker environment?

Here's a quick little thought experiment: in what environment would the card Tinker be the most fun? If you could build an environment specifically to make tinker a really fun spell to cast, what would it look like?

I reset my cache and still get the error. :(
