So here's something I had a thought about while I was deciding on a list of friends to invite to playtest my cube:
If you could have an 8 - man draft with any player, and any format, who and what would you pick?
The list of players could be anyone that can play magic, i.e. you best friend, a family member or even LSV if you feel like it
The draft format can be any format that is actually draftable (i.e. you can't pick three random sets; cube is an option however), but it can be any format that you like and for whichever reason you prefer (it's a personal favorite or challenging for example).

So we get the enemy colored painlands and not the allied color ones? Well that's reverse of the norm, but I thought Wizards was planning to do full 10 land cycles from now on.
Enemy pains could indicate allied Fetches in the next set, to offset the colour imbalance. It would also make sense since it would allow Modern to have access to all 10 Fetches as opposed to only 5.
Or you could read the article, and now that's not true.
STATISTICS.
All of these "Let's eliminate bad cards" crusades are simply ignorant. And when they start to devolve into "WotC is conspiring to give us crappy cards," they just become embarrassing. MATH is conspiring to give you crappy cards.

Hey guys, looking for extra money for cards?
I do it with CashCrate and Swagbucks. Get paid to complete surveys, offers, and other online tasks. Refer friends and family to get even more money. It may not be a lot, but it adds up while messing around on the computer. If you have any questions, feel free to message me and I'll help the best I can.
With the reveal of the cards from other game designers? I'd draft M15 with:
Isaiah Cartwright
Richard Garriot
David Sirlin
George Fan
Notch
Mike Neumann
any one of the other guest designers
I'd be especially happy to see the looks on their faces when someone plays one of their cards.

Cards are game pieces, and should be treated as such, easily replaceable.
Cards are not money, investments, or a retirement fund, and should never have been treated as such.
Wizards made a mistake caving to speculators once, and we still pay for that mistake 2 decades later.
"Entitled:" the entire ad hominem fallacy condensed into a single word. It doesn't strengthen your argument to attack motivations, it just makes you look like you don't understand the argument.
Aaron Paul. i doubt he plays magic but i would love to meet him as he is my hero.
Richard Garfield i need him to sign my phelddagrif
Danny Pudi (Abed Nadir from communtity)
then i really dont care who else
The draft would be Homelands, Future Sight, and Alara Reborn because i cant think of anything better than 50 keywords, ***** ton of gold cards and aysen highway
Faye Reagan, Alyson Hannigan, Christina Hendricks, Deborah Ann Woll, Karen Gillan, Isla Fisher, Emma Stone.
Some of you guys really need to sort out your priorities...
Yes, how dare everyone not pick hot women who may or may not be interesting to talk to, who may or may not know how to play magic, and who playing magic with will not in any way increase your chances of "getting with" said hot women.
Truly, anyone who would not make this choice doesn't have their priorities in order.

Oh... Ok... Clearly.
Drafting either of the 'Un' sets.
Partially, I just want to see if Garfield will snap draft Richard Garfield, Ph.D
Can they play magic? I dunno. I'm after the most surreal and mind-widening experience short of recreational drugs. Draft an un-set for bonus points.

Do they know how to draft Magic? Probably not, but neither do I...

If I had a dollar for every time I missed playing a Counterspell ...
I'd be missing my Mana Drain s instead.
Unfortunately, nobody will be able to draft MTG with the Ultimate Warrior anymore. RIP.
