Reigning Draft Champion
I'm such a perfectionist that if I went custom I would never get anything else done. I have to limit myself for my own well-being.

I think the best indication of what storm should be is wing shards; if you get a storm count of like 2-3 it's pretty great, but drops off after that. Grapeshot/empty don't do that thing, because they just get better the closer to pure combo you can get it. I think an environment that can go, say, burning-tree emissary, seismic spike, bolt, scattershot for 4 is probably better than an environment where you're encouraged to try and grapeshot someone's entire life total.
I may have just convinced myself to run scattershot.

This is such a weird technical pointless question. Don't ask "is drafting cube like drafting a set with flat power level", what does that mean? Say "Set X has a flat power level. Is drafting it like drafting cube?" Firstly I can't think of a set like that (help me out), and even once I'd thought of that set I could just ask myself if it was like drafting cube and probably say "no."
I mean, imagine if Maro had said "Yes." Look how much we would have learned!
Are there cubable cards that grant trample besides the following?
Depends what you're trying to do... Some fringe choices below:

This one interests me...
There was some discussion about it in one of the other threads. I think Eric runs it? I was going to add it but then chickened out and added basilisk collar instead.
That's it, I'm testing it Sunday.
It's great, there are plenty of guys that hold it, it's cheap, and its boost is massive. Turns some so-so guy they can afford to take a couple hits from or chump block a bunch into a real threat.
Today we had a 5-man tenchester draft and I finally got to put a zombie deck together. I got all four gravecrawlers and a bunch of other cards. I definitely think it's time for Red Sun's Zenith to come back. And maybe that shock that exiles, whatever that's called.

What happens when you post a RipLab thread on Facebook.
Deeper.
Gatherer is down, so for the moment all our card images are super borked.

was about to ask about that, ty
Tonight I think I lost every single game in which I cast Jace, the Mind Sculptor.
Except against the intern! I beat the intern. Well, Jace did. But I helped.

so i had a horrible idea for a cube made up of like 99% legacy staples in multiples with the assumption that players would be provided with 3x each fetch 3x each ABU dual in addition to basics
basically the idea is to create a draft format that during play is similar to legacy
quick test draft run after hitting 402 cards
edit: might as well link to the cube http://cubetutor.com/viewcube/8347

remember when they at least tried not to print strictly superior cards?
