Reassembling Skelaton
Corrupt
Lillina's Spectrer
Forsee
Air Servant
Jace's Ingenuity
Mana Leak

Act of Treason
Bloothrone Vampire
Viscara Seer
Is there a list of what you need anywhere?

Dan Barrett said:
Working on something similar to this now Tom is gone, but from Lorwyn onwards as that's when I actually started drafting. It's gonna be all sentimental and I'll cry whenever I draft it with you guys, *sniff*
As such, there are more slots for each set (so please feel free to suggest cards that didn't quite make the cut for Tom's cube), and also I'll put a list of what i'm missing up later. If you have foils you wish to donate (inc basic land), please do let me know.
In time I intend to make it 5-10% rares, so it feels quite similar to a regular draft, and is affordable for me to maintain in future.
There will be at some point over the weekend in this thread


One controversial thing i'm doing is tripling up on evolving wilds and terramorphic expanse to ensure there's enough fixing. Also i'm letting Oblivion Ring appear twice.

Okay, here's my current spreadsheet list, this is not yet marked up with what I have and need though:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AoOSGfaASosNdHR1VWtFRVVCWF...

Please report any glaring omissions / suggested changes!

(Note: Cuz there is quite a bit of multicolour in recent sets, i've listed the 2-colour pairs n some sets under a main colour heading - should all be fairly close to even).

(Note 2: Under suggestion of Josh Tovell, i'm aiming for 420-440 cards, not 360).
shards:
tower gargoyle
the 1/1 exalted for W that i cant remember the name of

conflux:
1/1 exalted flying for 1W
2/* flying (domain tougness) for 2W

(This does sort of look like i'm just trying to make white aggro an archetype)

ARB
Vengful Rebirth

Rise
Surreal Memoir
Prophetic Prism
Added most of those now Thom.
u dont like surreal memoir? the red mystical teachings!

Dan Barrett said:

Get me a foil one and I'll put it in for you, can't say fairer than that!

Also I somehow forgot Preordain, despite drafting a foil one the other week. And Cloudgoat Ranger from LOR.

This list defo still needs some work!
