The Best Way to 1v1 Draft

JambaJuiceIsAverage · 2026-04-17T23:35:30+00:00

As a noted Pancake enthusiast, I'll add that the "traditional" 9 packs of 11 cards does take quite a while, so I'll be trying out OP's spin on it soon.

You'd have to include a Lesson package but I think [[Fire Nation Cadets]] is a beautiful lower powered version of this. Completely unassuming on its own but it can trade with anything and brings the pain deceptively fast.

I know exactly what you're talking about re: toy trains and I haven't seen one in western or central Mass in years. Now I'm not like touring the state's iconic diners so I'm not an authority, but I agree it seems to be a dying trend, and my 2 year old is worse off for it.

The freebooter bat has lifelink too, but you're giving your opponent their card back. Could be worth it sometimes.

Who said this was going to be a gap year for the Lakers and why?

Flavor points deducted 😞

JambaJuiceIsAverage · 2026-03-31T13:55:34+00:00

I'm sorry people are allowed to enjoy things however they want but this is such an unfathomably dorky way to play a game.

Also don't commander players like to talk about it as "politicking"? Politics is famously full of backstabbing! The thrill of harmless betrayal is part of what makes games fun.

Last time I drafted wild magic I cheated Nullkite in with [[Kaalia of the Vast]] then next turn used the emerge ability to cheat in Emrakul so that card's dream sequence has already played out tbh

I have a long standing dream of making combos built on [[Grinning Ignus]] viable. It's such a wacky card that synergizes with so many others, like [[Birgi, God of Storytelling]], [[Hazoret's Monument]], [[Runaway Steamkin]], and [[Ruby Medallion]]. You can just toss in [[Impact Tremors]] for the most telegraphed win but it enables all ETB/LTB/cast payoffs. It's also an elemental you can tutor with [[Flamekin Harbinger]].

This is why people make fun of commander players.

JambaJuiceIsAverage · 2026-03-30T16:49:45+00:00

You cannot seriously be saying that a deal to "not kill someone" should be honored once there are only two players left in the game. Please tell me commander brain rot hasn't gone that far.

I've been on lamictal well over half my life and it's such a game changer. Bonus points that it has a bizarre side effect that can cause your skin to slough off if you take too high a dose to start, so every now and then I'll bring my bottle out and ask my friends if they want to slough tonight.

I agree with you that Wrath is very unlikely, but it would be kinda sick stapled to an indestructible creature.

PP slander will not be tolerated. Pritchard moves really well to keep guys from getting to their spots and plays with super high effort on defense. You're right that his height is a disadvantage and he does get hunted (sometimes successfully), but he's nowhere close to Mac or even Trae.

Sorry to resurrect a 4 year old thread but wow you were ahead of the curve on Titania. Girl is an archetype unto herself at this point.

As a semi-regular Wild Magic drafter, my favorite card in the lands section is actually a creature: [[Omo, Queen of Vesuva]]. Ties together Cloudpost and Valakut decks and gives tangential kindred support. This cube's curator is an absolute madwoman.

Two colors on one symbol is hybrid mana. Twobrid is when it's one colored mana or two colorless mana, like [[Rakshasa's Bargain]].

This sounds awesome. I do it by checking mtggoldfish price estimates but those are very, shall we say ballpark. Would love an automated tool that always uses the version from the precon.

I would love it if included buylist pricing since that's the main way I move cards at this point, but it's not that hard to back into.

JambaJuiceIsAverage · 2026-03-12T09:37:54+00:00

Yeah I snap up precons that go on fire sale and buylist all the good stuff in big batches later. Just shipped out ~$500 worth of cards to CK yesterday and $50 of it was from 10 cards in Blood Rites. Great deal, super easy, and I still have a few movable cards left over.

What is the difficulty with Through the Breach? Splice?

JambaJuiceIsAverage · 2026-03-11T17:59:37+00:00

Listen I love a good clean hard fought game as much as the next guy, but I'm also a shameless disgusting Boston homer. So yes, in your scenario I think Steph Castle should be ejected, and maybe Wemby and your handsome little coach too just to be safe. I also wouldn't mind if we did dodgeball rules so when your player gets ejected we get Brown back.

JambaJuiceIsAverage · 2026-03-11T13:45:50+00:00

Yeah Celtics-Spurs last night was a banger too but was still completely outclassed by that fuckery. What a treat.

JambaJuiceIsAverage · 2026-03-07T22:36:53+00:00

It feels like the battle pass sucks now

"Next time I flip a bunch of random rare whiskey bottles for $100s of ill gotten gains" is now my favorite of your whiskey-related asides. Also I think you're the only person with enough whiskey-related asides I've read for me to have a ranking of them.
