And there are still more options, depending on your cube any of these can be playable:

Unfortunatly the problem I have is specifically with these guys:
and so the only one of the above 8 that helps is actually werebear (if he does that is)
It'll be weird if I double up on sylvan advocate o_O
But like
Kalonian Tusker, nothing we like similar to that? All GG eh? dang
Well, I could try Rogue Elephant

Strangleroot when it comes back is a 3/2 and much more playable than the tusker imo

Is that the Ancient Fang? How did that end up back on Fiora? Regardless, stoked as well, because I have very fond memories of that draft format. Didn't draft it a ton, and all of it two-player, but had great fun every time! One of the more ridiculous things I can remember was someone at the talble revealing two Brago's Favor and a Double Stroke on Rousing of Souls on turn one, hitting for four tokens, and following that up with a Intangible Virtue o_O *Gulp*

Does someone have an article somewhere that shows how many cards you need in a cube to come close to the odds of opening
- a specific common
- a specific uncommon
- Rare/Mythic
I may or may not have done my math correctly, but assuming we're talking about a large retail set, ignoring foils, and opening a single pack, then using a hypergeometric calculator, the chances of opening any specific card of a given rarity:
Common (Assuming 101 commons / set, 10 commons / pack): 9.9%
Uncommon (Assuming 80 uncommons / set, 3 uncommons / pack): 3.8%
Rare (Assuming 53 rares / set, 7 rares / 8 packs): 1.7%
Mythic (Assuming 15 mythics / set, 1 mythic / 8 packs): 0.83%
In cube, if we go with a 360 card cube, then opening any single "pack" of 15 cards, the chances of seeing at least one copy of a specific card, given the number of copies of that card in your cube:
4 Copies: 16%
3 Copies: 12%
2 Copies: 8.2%
1 Copy: 4.2%
So somewhere between two and three copies approximates a common, and one copy approximates an uncommon. Everything in cube is way more common than a rare, though, unless you start increasing your cube size.

I wrote an article about this once, don't have the link though.
