About to do a Winston draft this weekend with my BiL. 3pk Crimson Vow, 3pk Karlov Manner, which feels like a reasonable thematic match (and it's what I've got laying around). Plus a few promo packs thrown in for extra spice.

Very excited! Haven't been able to go draft for real for a few months since my latest child was born.

Hoping to pull a Sorin for the wifey while we're at it.

I don't play much anymore. I used to love magic, but lately, the constant barrage of new product is too much for me.

But I still do play commander with my friends. Not too often but whenever we get together a game or two is inevitable.

My favorite deck is Tatyova, Benthic Druid, and my favorite non infinite, not guaranteed to win combo is (with Tatyova on the board):

Avenger of Zendikar into Scapeshift.

I get an army of huge plants, gain a bunch of life and draw a shitload of cards.

TQ1: My favourite format is cube comfy-cool. A guy at my LGS has an (outdated) vintage cube that we've been playing sometimes, and I've begun work on my own. Planning to include silly un-cards and playtest cards for shits and giggles. Anyone here have experience designing a cube?

also commander I guesswhen we dont play cube I'll play commander and then usually a Gruul big stompy deck large-adult-son.

TQ2: My favourite combo is Hoarding Broodlord -> Fetch Saw in Half, Cast it on the Broodlord, tutor 2 more cards up, go wild!
