I thought that the return target creature card from graveyard to play with Affinity for Swamps was a super broken Rare but it sat in my hand with no targets as we raced, twice. Meanwhile Rob proved that Devotee of Knowledge (draw X cards where X is Islands - Non-Islands you control) is basically too good if you have it in your opening hand along with a looter.<br />
<br />
Much joy was had (for Rob) with the Agony Warp on a stick (Flesh Fiend?) And some of the vaguely vanilla guys like 4/4 Haste Raging Dwarf even had their moment in the sun. The Corruption Mechanic made a 2/1 a must-kill and allowed me to celebrate topdecking a Swamp by killing two guys. And working out which basic land to play on early turns based on the current contents of your hands was interesting.<br />
<br />
Sakura Tribe-Elder with potential Fulminator Mage capabilities found himself countered the one time he was going to blow up a land. And despite drafting him both times I never once saw my 5/5 flier for 4 in my hand.<br />
<br />
It actually worked way better than I thought it would for a first run through although I'm sure there's stuff that needs refining. We will try an 8-man draft if we can assemble enough peeps, perhaps next weekend?

What colour rares are you missing? Did you end up using any of my cards? Looking forward to seeing the set.

Nicolo - I love Dark Druid! And the Stone and Sluggish Behemoth are really good too. You've done this before :)<br />
<br />
I had a look at Rob's very-nearly-finished list last night (pending changing it all in playtesting I'm sure :) ) and it is looking good. Hopefully we can get some proxies printed and have a test run with it soon.

Ok, here are a bunch of cards. Some of them fit the theme as I see it (I'm still unsure on what you want...going with enemy colour activations and such), some of them are just generic rares. Change the name/types to your liking.<br />
<br />
Cerebrum Extirpation 1B<br />
Sorcery<br />
Name a nonland card. Target player reveals his or her hand. If the named card is revealed, search that player's graveyard, hand, and library for all cards with that name and remove them from the game. Then that player shuffles his or her…

Basically it worked like this:<br />
<br />
Every round I posted a task e.g:<br />
<br />
Make a white common creature with formation.<br />
<br />
then people posted their ideas and we voted on them next round.<br />
<br />
It was all decided like this, I didn't have an overruling vote. We did start having to ban certain CMC's and rarities as the set developed, but the set worked pretty well in the end. Once we had all the cards a small team touched up a few cards and fixed them. I'm pretty sure they ended up playtesting them too. I left the set about 70 rounds in... took a lot of time and effort to host it and I had other things to do at the time. I passed it on to some other members and they've kept it going. I still submit a card every now and then.<br />
<br />
As for your custom cube idea, you would all have to make 45 cards each for it to work. Depending when you do this I might be up for travelling to london, I already have the cards printed!
