Just updated my Guild after playing it this past Tuesday. I am such a terrible drafter, so my own cube is great practice.

It focuses on the Ravnica guild colours with support for:

  • UG CMC matters
  • UW fliers and blink
  • RG lands matter
  • GB graveyard matters
  • GW +1/+1 counters matter
  • UB theft
  • RB savrifice
  • UR spellslinger
  • BW little kids
  • RW aggro

It does provide me with a place to put cards I acquire for EDH decks but never use.

I have been playing on Thursday nights for the last 5 years. I played my last night and woke up this morning thinking it was Friday.

Played my own for the first time and lost every single game. sigh

"I've been touting the virtues of Stalactite Stalker since it was previewed, so why the hell am I suddenly selling out of them nearly two months after Lost Caverns of Ixalan was released?!?!"

"Oh, okay, now it all makes sense."

Thanks, Wheeler! 😂

I think @mason.clark will need a lot more squirrels to block this play 🐿️🍝

I have tried to organize getting together with friends to play my 6 times…it has only worked once. I am not a superstitious person but I am starting to wonder if the wood used to build the case for it was stolen from a native burial site or something because COME ON.

When the people who play Pioneer, Modern, and/or EDH finally realize this card exists, it's going to start selling for a lot more than $0.17.

And I wouldn't be at all shocked to see it start popping up in a lot of cubes.

Been working on building a much more synergistic after taking apart my old one due to…apathy and wanting to lean into companions. Found a great YouTube series that outlined a great process for figuring out those synergies. It will be one of my post-baseball projects this winter.

I have three more deck skeletons for draft ready to go, but before I post them, a comment:

This set is giving me heavy Zendikar Rising vibes, which is not a good thing.

ZNR was an on-rails draft experience where the draft archetypes were too strictly defined, and there was very little bleed through them.

LTR has similarly strict archetypes, and I'm not finding many generically good or flexible commons as I go through.

I'm worried.

Hey I don't want to rehash the MOM discussion but I do have a question about how you approach cube drafting.

Do you draft cube "the hard way"?

I learned to cube from LSV who does not take that approach and famously forces his favorite deck every time.
I do something similar, when I see a sweet card early I force it.

To me cube is fun because I get to draft with just my friends (and it's free). Not because it's a challenging or rewarding draft environment.
