So, Eric and I do Skype calls every now and then, and I always find them pretty entertaining. We're thinking of streaming one this weekend. Anybody have requests for topics?

How do you find a balance between including the cards you love and keeping the draft environment functional and coherent?
Why not do both Eric?
We will be broadcasting this Saturday at 11 AM eastern.
We'll be broadcasting from this account: http://www.twitch.tv/riptidelab
Looks like it is going to be very entertaining. I'm not going to be online to watch or hear it live, but I'm sure going to check it out later (assuming that you guys are going to record it and make it available).
The twitch stream will be recorded.

I really enjoyed the stream today guys. I only caught the tail end of it, but I plan on listening to the podcast version.
I really see this community growing (if slowly) into something even more awesome. Please do more of these! I'll be spreading the word to other enlightened, "liberal" cubers

Here's an audio-only recording of the cast, unedited, with no post-production! Cause.. we're lazy.

The first 38 minutes is us warming up and discussing mostly anything cube-related that comes to mind. We start answering the chatcast questions from this thread at around 37:45.
Again I'm sorry for my horrible mic. ughhhhhhhhh Will definitely scrounge up a better one if we do another cast.

No, but there's a pretty large swath of territory between "incredibusted" and "15th pick".
I don't know when we'll do another yet, but there will be more! Get your questions in, the spicier the better. P.S. this is open to all people, it can be something I've written about before, something tangential to cubing, whatever.

Why don't more people run double mana lands? Some people run Ancient Tomb, but rarely do people run City of Traitors, Crystal Vein, Peat Bog, Remote Farm, Saprazzan Skerry, Hickory Woodlot or Sandstone Needle. They definitely never run Ruins of Trokair, Dwarven Ruins, Ebon Stronghold, Havenwood Battleground or Svyelunite Temple. These cards all do great work speeding up the game and creating tension in early rounds without requiring you to just run tons and tons of 1/2 mana non-aggro options. I like these cards a lot, how do you feel about them?

I am excited for this; however, please please get a better mic or do some sort of audio postproduction to level out the volume. I couldn't hear anything you were saying, Eric!
I think you should devote an entire episode to the different ways people sort their gold section.
I kid! I kid!
