For the most up to date list, check here. I will not be updating this thread as often.
Basic Information Cube Size: 360 Breakdown: 50 per color, 6 per multicolor pair, 1 land per shard, 10 mana fixing lands, 3 lands, 35 colorless Standard or Theme: Not currently Snow Lands: No Average Number of Players: However many show up How Often Drafted: Every two weeks hopefully
Card Selection Proxies: No, but eventually probably Powered: No Portal: Yes "Un" Cards: Yes Banned Cards for Power-Level: Banned Cards for Time Constraints: ^V Nothing yet Banned Cards for "fun" factor:
Cube Design Standard or Multiplayer: Standard Sideboards?: Maybe, depends on the day Color Balance: Yes Gold Balance: Yes Hybrid/Split/Kicker as Gold: No, maybe eventually Color Triggers as Gold: No, maybe eventually Perfectly Balanced CMC: HAha no
Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5
