I get my first shot at this tonight when a certain Tim appears at my house for the weekend with a working laptop, will keep you guys posted on our "progress" and how much beer gets drunk

[Ben Titmarsh]

So I've won 1 TSP and 1 PLC booster.  Will we be able to draft these at some point?

[Dan Barrett]

Yea, Nixtix/Nixpax TPF drafts are also running for the next 2 weeks.

I'm actually thinking about building this cube in real life.  Seems pretty balanced and I have ~450/720 of the cards.

[Tom Reeve]

I would definitely recommend some changes based on playing it 10-ish times the first weekend it was up, but I don't know if you'd want to keep it exactly tracking the MODO one.

[Dan Barrett]

Yea, for instance Storm needs to be either made actually viable or cut out.

I have all of these cards they live in my printer and if a stranger wants to play that's ok and if someone spills a pint of beer on their draft deck that's ok too and if i want to use the cards in a deck for a sanctioned tournament i don't have to pull them out of the cube and remember to put them back and ... ok, i'll shut up now.

[Ben Titmarsh]

If people spill beer on my cards they are paying for them and I don't play constructed. Wheres your sense of aesthetics Tom?

Alright guys lets hear your suggestions for changes...

[Simon O'Keeffe]

As Dan said, the Storm cards that are seeded in the cube are essentially blanks. I had a storm theme in my smaller cube for a few years, and I think the archetype was drafted once, and that wasn't even a success.

Black aggro needs to be cut or given more support. Red is pretty one-dimensional (when isn't it!), with only aggro and some Wildfire effects. I still haven't solved this problem with my cube, but I've tried to make red a little bit of a combo colour as well with things like Kiki-Jiki, and Splinter Twin.

Green, Blue, and White are all pretty decent, each probably has a few dead cards in, but I'd have to comb the full list to identify them.

Just drafted a sick UB control deck with some sweet cards. finishers were Grave Titan + Consecrated Sphinx. So much fun! 

Edit: I won that one

[Thomas David Baker]

I have this deck right now Mr. Mills.  Same two finishers.

Makeshift Mannequin on Consecrated Sphinx in your Upkeep is so mean after they dealt with it once.

Having to Mannequin Riftwing Cloudskate to bounce your own Phyrexian Arena that is going to kill you is not so hot but if you have Ink-Eyes and they are a reanimator deck with a stocked graveyard I can live with it :)
