They've been saying it would come out in October for months and that's come and gone, so we'll see how long it takes them. I can't wait for them finish it, I just want to trade my online draft bulk for physical EDH cards.

It would honestly make me more inclined to draft on MTGO because then I can take my sick rips and make them into actual cards.

Or you know, use my puca points to get into Modern on MTGO since central Jersey doesn't have a store that runs large events unless I want to drive an hour and a half to get bodied.

After watching my umpteenth pro cube draft video, I've come to realize that the cube gimmick I really want is a cube without blue in it.

Or at least one where the blue theme somehow avoids card draw and/or counterspells completely.

I remember desert cube was pretty good for this, mostly because you had to draft islands.

Static Dwarf is a really appropriate name for a modal ability with only one option. That would be a hilarious card for an Unset.

Honestly not sure what you mean by submitting this for "approval" as a response to my post, unless I need to clarify that I include multicolor blue cards in my statement. You've still got plenty of card drawing/cantripping durdling there of the sort that every pro seems to love to rub all over their genitals. It looks like a pretty fun cube in its own right, though!

Regarding the story-lines, is Ravnica the only plane with an ongoing that doesn't directly concern a planeswalker or a multiversal threat (Eldrazi, New Phyrexia)? UR recently picked up the Teysa and Tajic plotline from Dragon's Maze, and I wondered if that indicated another return to Ravnica. Possibly I've missed stuff concerning pre-Innistrad settings.

Edit: I guess I mean more "hanging plot threads".

I think the closest you'll get is Llorwyn or Kamigawa but I'm pretty sure they don't count as ongoing.

If I finish it I'll try and see about getting it on one of those drafting sites like drafts.in I guess.

That's staying because why would I mess with perfection.

Part of me wants to change the colors on things to bring them in line with the modern color pie but then I can't have mana-dork Dolphins (sea creautres in Green would be wierd) so I guess I'm not doing that. Maybe I'll go back over it later and make a second version that fits. :spergin:

Just get rid of the stuff that literally does not work and the 0-cost mana accelerators and it'd be a pretty plain old set. A bunch of overcosted creatures, weird spells, and things Blue should not really have.

The more I look at Spectral Chaos the more I feel like it should be drafted and played like Conspiracy.

Or it would be if it were at all balanced. And real. :v:



I'm leaving in the Antimana spells because they're incredibly stupid and I love them (in the way one loves Time Walk or Black Lotus). Probably gonna adjust rarities all around, so they might end up at Mythic.

As listed it looks like there are a TON of would-be-Mythics (Very Rare) in the spoiler. Not sure if the numbers are appropriate for a ~400 card set. I'll have to do a count after I've gotten them all typed up and then compare to the number of Mythics in a Large + Small set (looks like ~25) and then some of them might get downgraded/upgraded.

Or maybe I just make everything a Rare and make potential drafts a mess. :unsmigghh:

Large sets have 15 mythics, small have 10, so it would be 25 if something is large+small sized.

Wow, found out my spare Bloodstained Mires are worth $20 last night, I'm sure they weren't more than $6 when I got them! I'm not convinced fetches will ever be worth so much post-rotation, I don't think modern demand later will outstrip the demand now where we have modern and a standard where 12 fetches in a deck is the norm.

Black Friday! Post some deals.

SCG is doing 4 days of deals, only real highlight I saw today was $80 boxes of bfz. Also their ABU power and duals lol

CFB has bfz singles, and tons of sealed products from almost every set but I don't know exactly how good of a deal some of those are. They also have a limited supply of their own special holiday box, which seems like an ok deal at $50 if you like opening packs. Also kmc hyper mattes, the superior sleeve choice, for $6.

Also gatecrash/dgm boxes at $60

Yeah SCG has poo poo for sales.

Some poo poo nobody was going to buy because it's too expensive is still too expensive, also, some sealed Commander product.

I miss when they put relevant poo poo on sale. Like the shocklands. That helped me out a lot back in the day.

At one point they had $40 foreign boxes of things like GTC and DGM which would be worth it, but those either sold out instantly or were never actually in stock. $80 boxes of bfz is a legit deal though.

I've used and liked KMCs, but I recently tried Ultimate Guard and I'm really like them so far, very easy shuffle and a good fit. Not tried double sleeveing yet though.

They make really good deck boxes though, "Deck n Tray" looks cool, is really solid and saves me digging through the bottom of my bag for dice.
