It's obviously where they draw the line between huge and colossal ;)

Ch Chimney Imp. Seriously though, Masked Admirers is soooo close to being playable, but at 4, with those stats, drawing a card and subpar recursion shenanigans are just not cutting it imho. Basically you're playing cannon fodder each other turn and voluntarily overpay by two mana for the...

I'm going to double up on Champion of the Parish. For me it's the poster child of a fun aggro card. It impacts the way you value cards during draft, and it provides a nice little sequencing subgame during play.

It was in my cube and did nothing, sadly, so I cut it.

Yes. Obsidian Fireheart seems way too slow and inferior to the other red 4-drops. Cyclops Gladiator has been great fun in my casual Dolmen Gate deck (go ahead, look it up). The card is definitely cool to play with, but I don't think it stacks up well against the other options. I guess if it's...

You don't run red one-drops?

I can't, except, proxies :) I ordered a shitload of cards, including some reprints I didn't yet own. I finally get to add Pernicious Deed to my cube!

Does Serum Visions count? :) I run Strix, Cryptic, Electrolyze, Remand, Simulacrum and Relic of Progenitus in my own cube, plus Into the Roil Mind Stone

Oh yeah, if you want foils, definitely use acetone! I dislike foils though, so I want blank cards. Apparently using window decals solves all of the printing problems. I am going to find out whether this is true!

Ok, don't use acetone guys. Use a small safety pin and carefully push against the top foil layer under an angle of approximately 45 degrees in one of the corners. The pin is above the card, but you're kinda pushing up, trying to get under the foil layer from above as it were. When the foil layer...

Battledriver has got to be the pick there, especially if you run a token subtheme. Siege-Gang Commander, attack for 16? I love Urabrask, but that 1 mana makes a lot of difference.

Awesome read! Would buy again! :)

Seems cubable at 3 colorless even. At 2 colorless it's pretty nutty I would think.

Not to mention it makes a sweet, sweet Tinker target!

That was kinda the point :p To be fair though, Mortarpod comes down a turn earlier, when you actually might want to kill a 1-toughness creature, and comes with a free red shirt. It was a sweet, sweet limited card in its time (3 years already?), in part though because it worked so well with...

The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. Source: Wikipedia :)

You mean "Blasting Station-with-an-activation-cost"?

I like the 'eat-a-pack'-guy. It's only one pack, and the rest of the cards that haven't been picked will actually wheel one seat further. The best thing is you can still look at the packs, but you can't draft anything. So you get valuable information about what colors are being cut, but you also...

Marking the cards (sleeves, whatever) and adding 1 per pack as the 15th card has crossed my mind. That takes 24 cards though for a full table, that's a pretty large chunk of a 360 cube. So, I'm not really sure yet. I do know I have preordered a lot of the draft matters cards already and look...

Edit: No irony involved in my last post by the way. I vaguely remembered a cool article on a microsealed variant, googled it, and was surprised you had written it. Nice work! I also remember thinking, man, I love the look of this format but I hate custom cards, so I see what you mean :) You...
