Ok, some more Purecast (now renamed to Primal, as predicted) designs, showing off some different options this keyword enables.

The problem is that you then have a set of answers that are varying degrees of narrow, if they even are answers. Harsh Mentor, for example, punishes the use of utility lands, but doesn't prevent the opponent from using them. I need to make space for those narrow answers, but even cutting cards...

Bleh at all the protection creatures spoiled today :\ They even desecrated a dinosaur with pro blue... way to go to sabotage my hopes for the dinosaur subtheme in my cube WotC :(

Awwwwwwwwww! <3

I'm not worried, I did run them in the past, in a separate Utility Land Draft. At one point, I decided I wanted to streamline the draft again. I didn't feel the separate ULD was worth it. I then made a conscious decision to not include utility lands in my main cube, because a) they take up a lot...

Hahahahaha, that's a hilarious goof :')

Oooo! That's a pretty sweet green one drop. Not as good in my cube, since I don't run utility lands, but this is still sweet with Ramunap Excavator and Crucible of Worlds :)

Nice green two drop! A toned down Dig Through Time might actually be just right for some environments. I cut Dig from my cube, because eot Dig for {u}{u} was a tiny bit too scary. Sorcery speed does hurt it, but... is it a bad thing if blue can't do everything at instant speed for a change?

That one drop is sweet :)

I tested both, and honestly couldn't, and still can't, choose. In the end I decided to make room for both.

I run custom fastlands with basic land types :')

I'm now determined to find 15-20 viable options for my cube when the full spoiler is up. If anything, I saw cards that were too pushed for my cube. So far I'm looking at... Honestly, there's more cards I like, but that just don't fit in my cube, either because they're the wrong...

Yeah, no new information for me there either, though to be fair, a slightly newer post... from November. I mean, clearly the guy doesn't have the greatest set of communication skills, I just hope the rework is going somewhere...

I wish I could draw this pure! ;)

Thanks! I think Basic is better than Primal on cheap cards, because you don't need to put CC casting costs into place, making them easier to splash, but it's waaaay harsher than Primal on more expensive cards (e.g. Imperiosaur). I actually wish they would finally bring back Affinity, because...

Though I'm relatively content with Primal at the moment, I feel I can't ignore the less than enthusiastic feedback, so I've been brainstorming some different ideas. Design goals: I'm looking for a keyword or ability word that rewards players for playing less greedy mana bases. The set is...

Holy shit that is bonkers. Not touching that with a 400-foot pole o_O This is cute though :)

Jeez... Grixis splash white? What kind of mad drafting is this? :p Anyway, all of these would be good pickups for the kind of deck we've assembled so far, I think, though some (Myth and Arrogance) require a bit more fixing. Monastery Mentor Sentinel of the Eternal Watch Myth Realized Tragic...

Yeah, I think this is where we have different opinions on how useful the card is. But that's okay. One thing I will do for certain, if ever I finish this set, is to make a five color deck that aims to control the board while ramping up to Dyed Dawn. If it isn't viable at all, I can always...
