I read the whole thread, and if I missed somewhere this was discussed I'm sorry, but I'm most wondering what the last card in the set is. What land or colorless card easily comes after Wasteland? Yavimaya Hollow?
This is also, as has been pointed out a few times in other conversations about draft matters cards, only functional while drafting. This card is dead while doing Sealed, and considerably worse when Winston, Winchester or other 2 player draft formats are considered.
That being said, I'm considering it anyway, because for every time it's a dud, it's going to be wonderfully good 10 times.
I really don't like this card at all. With those stats, it will almost never make it into a cube deck, so it is just a card for shenanigans during the draft. Meh.
I am so glad I'm not the only person who sees it like that. my Facebook is full of people telling me to put it in my cube, and I just don't see it working like they want it to.
Hey, your numbers 1-5 are the only cards I'm considering. The first four are going in, no doubt.
Spirit of the Labyrinth is the one I'm not so sure about. I've got a lot of pressure and prodding from a few members of my local cube-mmunity to add it in, but I don't see it being the impact they think it will be.
Sherlock Season 3 is awesome. The game is back on.
I nominate this post for the Understatement of the Year award. I realize it's only January 4th, but "awesome" doesn't even come close to the greatness of Sherlock.
Purphoros, God of the Forge all day for me. There's so many ways the card can go. (well, just a few ways, but they are distinct, which is something I look for in a first pick.)
Then once we're done, do I just ask everyone to turn their decks in as they finish round 3?
If they're cubing with you and don't expect to have to do this, then they've been misinformed about what they are there to do.
That said, don't be nervous, just treat it like any other draft, and feel free to ask for help making the packs because doing it solo can get time consuming.
Does anyone have a review of the new KMC Hyper Mattes? I need to buy new sleeves for my cube and also need sleeves for various deckbuilding games and other things and would buy a case of them from Potomac Distribution since it's the same price as the regular KMCs, but I'm wary.
Also, thanks to everyone who pointed out that Yavimaya Hollow is on the Reserved List. Forgot about that!

Yeah, as usual, what wtwlf123 says. I've tried a few different things over the years that my regular group doesn't like, so out they go.
That being said, they picked up on Pox pretty quickly. Shame your group didn't.

Also this guy.
