Wasn't too sure where to put this since it's not about the card game, but still has a bit to do with mtg.
So I just finished my first ever comicon weekend and thought about making a Power-9 costume for next year. 5 moxen necklaces, ancestral recall headwear, time walk ribcage and black face cover, a staff with an hourglass on it, and a balck lotus flower wrapped around my arm.
My question is, where could I get some necklaces of the 5 moxen, without spending loads of money? I know they have the official necklaces from 2007 but those are waay too expensive. I'd be perfectly content with plastic ones as long as the looked like the card pictures. Any ideas?
Thank you for the input! Part of why I dont have the painlands is that i'm running on a slight budget. I might proxy them until while i slowly obtain them, if it turns out to be too slow. I'll post a cube list once i have it done. I'm going to cut the hybrids down to 3. There's some good utility cards at common/uncommon, but not enough to get 5 for each pair.
So I'm building my first cube. My idea is to skew towards encouraging tri-color, but without going overboard. Right now, I'm looking at:
-2 cards each of the ten tri-color combinations (one creature, one non-creature) 20 total
-5 cards of each two-color pair (~one "bomb card" 4 support cards, rarity doesnt matter) 50 total
-3 for each hybrid pair (~same as above) 30 total
-50 of each color
-60 artifact/colorless cards
-80 nonbasic lands
-10 gates
-10 1-life common lands from khans
-10 tri-lands
-10 check lands (ex sulfur falls)
-10 pain lands (ex Brushland)
-5 panoramas plus evolving wilds/terramorphic expanse
-10 colored effect lands (one for each pair)
-15 colorless effect lands (ex springjack pasture)
This puts the cube at 490 cards, with 70 cards (14.5%) requiring more than one color and 10% of cards being dual lands. This is not supposed to be a power cube, just one that is fun to draft. My question is, do I have too much multicolor, and if not, do i have enough or too much fixing in my lands alone? I'm open to any suggestions!
Also: If people come across a dual land in their first pack, are they more likely to draft in that lands colors? Or pass it along hoping for colors they want to play?
EDITS: 5/17/15 removed 2 hybrids from each pair (-20), added pain lands (+10). Ratios were adjusted.
