  • You can do anything. I’ve been toying around with making a black and green cube where the players can pick the side of life or death and get a bonus for sticking to one colour for example.

    But generally they’re 5 colours. High powered cubes will include a very strong set of lands to help facilitate the draft, such as the 10 alpha duals, the 10 shock lands, 10 triomes and 10 fetchlands. They’re usually picked at a high priority. (The expensive lands will probably be proxies) As with all drafts, basics are added for free after drafting.

    You can also build a cube to recreate a draft format, such as Innistraad which to buy a box is very expensive, but 1 of each rare, 2 of each uncommon, and the rest commons can recreate the classic experience.

    There’s definitely an argument to that logic. 10 bullets in one person may as well be 1. People don’t fall down instantly so a volley is likely to do little to a column of troops like Napoleon liked to use.

    But I know pretty much nothing about the American civil war, and it sounds like the north was able to produce far more than the south. So probably a bad decision.

    I believe it was a transitional time for warfare. Muskets weren’t much better than earlier technology, their strength was that you didn’t need much training at all to use them as opposed to a bow or sword.

    In earlier wars, if often came down to whoever broke and fled first, a smaller army fighting for beliefs rather than a Lord could beat a bigger army.

    But they undervalued newer technology that could cause havoc by relatively untrained people. It wasn’t the same as WW1 where this really showed, but it was definitely on the way.

    I went to a London university. Most the departments were essentially as diverse as the population, but business undergrads were 80% black British, and everyone knows they hate queen. Is this the conspiracy we’ve been warned about?

    (This is very clearly a joke I hope and I have utter respect for everyone.)
