Such a cool design. But why Wizards, why the sacrifice clause! Such a let-down :( Oh, but I run customs, don't I? :D Edit: The rebound cards suck for the most part. It's like they took the cool rebound cards, and added three mana for an effect worth only one or two mana.

I think it's a nice flavorful touch actually. The clans and khans are no more, there's no wedges, and the clans don't ally with their enemy colors. I like it. As for the cards themselves. Meh. Color hosers always feel a bit cheap. Though... the time I played a Karma deck in peasant with...

The Shawshank Redemption, according to IMDB. But seeing that American Psycho is not in the IMDB top 250 I'm guessing CML has another movie in mind :)

Just pick an honest player ;) There's no hidden information besides the bids themselves, and those are revealed when everyone is finished bidding on a booster, so it's no problem to have one of the players be the banker.

I run two and they're awesome. Then again, I had to cut Pack Rat for really being too oppressive, so I guess my cube is a bit lower on the power scale.

There were some real gems in Masques block, but coming after Urza's block and before Invasion block, it was wedged between to blocks that were either powerful or awesome (or both). It was always going to look bad. Prophecy is also pretty much the worst block of the set, by far. Still... That...

Sure! http://www.angelfire.com/games4/magicvariants/Auction_Draft_Silent.htm

It's only relevant in corner cases. I think I've only seen mana burn matter once in all the hundreds of games I played or watched before they axed the rule. When you have to remember (or learn) a rule that comes up only once in a blue moon, you know its not pulling its weight. From a flavor...

If you don't mind the draft being waaaaaay more fun than the games, you should give silent auction a try. It's not that the games are not fun, they are, it's just that drafting is so awesome. Best thing ever with four players!

How is Creeperhulk?

Still sad news. One of my fav writers.

Get out of my cube Selesnya Charm!

Like supporting more themes? Can you afford to cube cards that usually end up 15th pick, but are really awesome in the correct deck if you cut lands from the main draft?

But if you don't run any land, you can just add more playables. What if the tension is not "should I pick Siege-Gang Commander or Wooded Foothills", but "should I pick Siege-Gang Commaner or Char"? I'm running 55 lands, a full 12% of my cube, at the moment. Cutting those would mean I can add...

YES! GET INTO MY CUBE YOU AWESOME ONE DROP ENCHANTMENT CREATURE YOU!

I think it's important to have some tension. Drafts are more interesting when, at least some of the time, it's correct to take an on-color but slightly weaker card over an off-color but objectively stronger card. I've had the same complaints as CML from my group. My players don't like drafting...

Poor Van Gaal though. He's a really good coach, with excellent results, but somehow he can't get ManU to perform.

Or we could add another booster with only lands (fixing and utility). Something like the Leaders expansion for 7 Wonders did, but after the third booster, so you know what colors you are in. So... How many nonbasics do you want people to run? Ooooo... And should we add a custom land that works...

Holy crap. The first image didn't load, and I thought you posted this in the custom cards section. Those are awesome!

Funny. I hate Mesmeric Fiend and love Brain Maggot for exactly the same reasons. I think the sac in response play is annoying and counterintuitive, and I'm happy WotC has moved towards a templating that's more in line with the intended play. I even errataed Parallax Wave. I think the only card...
