Wonder is Khans has a heavy graveyard based (sub?)theme. I could see this as a great engine for some kind of deck that lose to sac stuff for value, because currently this seems pretty bad for a rare.
Hello, I have been working on my cube recently. I want to perfect it. Any comments would be incredibly helpful.
Summary: Number of Cards: 540 Powered?: No Conspiracy: Sometimes
Cube themes: I'm looking for a powerful cube, but I dont want to make it powered. I am aiming at encouraging most strategies, aggro/control/combo/ramp... but no mill. I want the feeling of the cube to be open but have clear build around me cards. (Examples: Chromanticore, Zedruu, Loam, etc.)
Background info: The cube is generally played with 2-4 players, sometimes online. The range of experience in magic ranges, so I've tried to limit problematic cards/card mechanics. (Such as no miracle and limited morph).
Where you can help:
I have drafted this cube around 200 times, and my eyes are a bit weary. I want to see if I can get any advice in how to support neglected archetypes, add more powerful/complex build-around me cards, and general refinement. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. (Example: I think Zoo needs some help, so thats where the next major changes will probably come in.)
(For my cube I keep these separate. When we want to do a conspiracy draft we pull 14 cards per pack and put one of these as the 15th. Might just put them all in willy nilly...)
Tons of flashy things are happening. Apparently there is some great depth and metagame going on, but I have no idea what it is.
I've watched all of the champion spotlights for dota II guys on youtube and watched the last 2(?) invitationals. Still no idea whats going on.
It doesn't matter at the end of the day. Both are solid games. Both are played at an extremely high skill level.
The argument that league is "casual" or whatever is fairly clueless. Its like calling soccer a worse sport than basketball because it has less arbitrary rules and strategies. And if its so easy, then join CLG. We need a new toplaner. Go make your riches.
I think it would be interesting if the Korean meta was under the same scrutiny that NA sees.
Oh, X was incredibly dominant in the NA LCS? Better nerf it into the ground.
I'm absolutely sure that the Koreans would still be dominant, but I feel that NA gets a bit of the short end of the stick for being under the lens of Riot.
(Also sucks the other way for China and getting patches super late... but whatever.)

Thanks again!
The old ring was time based, so you can idle farm with that ring.
Tons of flashy things are happening. Apparently there is some great depth and metagame going on, but I have no idea what it is.
I've watched all of the champion spotlights for dota II guys on youtube and watched the last 2(?) invitationals. Still no idea whats going on.
It doesn't matter at the end of the day. Both are solid games. Both are played at an extremely high skill level.
The argument that league is "casual" or whatever is fairly clueless. Its like calling soccer a worse sport than basketball because it has less arbitrary rules and strategies. And if its so easy, then join CLG. We need a new toplaner. Go make your riches.
Legendaries in rifts 100% upped. Blood shards are also getting buffed with this too.
Chest runs and unique runs are also getting nerfed.
Might be bored in a few weeks, but currently I am loving the game.
Last night I got a Thunderfury!
I think it would be interesting if the Korean meta was under the same scrutiny that NA sees.
Oh, X was incredibly dominant in the NA LCS? Better nerf it into the ground.
I'm absolutely sure that the Koreans would still be dominant, but I feel that NA gets a bit of the short end of the stick for being under the lens of Riot.
(Also sucks the other way for China and getting patches super late... but whatever.)
Here is Blizz's summary video of the patch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW3o0sFldoc#t=61
I've been snowed in for the past few days. Played this for a few hours each day. Its pretty fun. The game feels better... with a few flaws.
Just remember that if you vote for Democracy, you are a bad person.
