Have I posted the knights before? Maybe. I don’t know. I’m not gonna go dig for them.

Anyway here’s what I imagine the knights of the round table look like! I tried to use textual descriptions of them but those are incredibly hard to find (minus Lancelot’s) so a lot of it is just vibes.

In order:

Arthur, Gawain, Lancelot, Bedivere, Balin, Marhault, Dinadan, Sagramor

Bonus Lancelot WIP cause I’m redesigning him to fit his actual description (according to Prose Lancelot) better:

KL's Peasant Cube

April 20, 2024 draft. 4 players, 5 packs of 9.

List: https://cubecobra.com/c/10oz

Another draft fired from the Toronto Cube Community Discord! This time KL was hosting, and we drafted his Peasant Cube. The defining features as he introduced it are:

Narrow powerband

Emphasis on mechanics that incentivize attacking

Availability of sideboard options

The last item in that list is especially interesting. It's something I've done a little, and am being more and more sold on. I'm not good at sideboarding, but I've never played another cube where sideboarding provides such an obvious advantage.

My default is to try for an optimal game 1 build of my deck and make pretty minimal changes between games. When you're building an engine, or just have efficient cards, it can feel like sideboard answers don't have a place. Here though, KL has succeeded in keeping the powerband really tight. The narrow power bands are a cliché, but he's actually delivered on it. One of the drafters commented that it makes the draft uninteresting. I can see that. Compared to a lot of cubes it didn't feel as much like building a specific deck (huge caveat: I think that's also a result of the 4:5:9 draft setup), but if/when I draft this cube again I'll shift my mindset: what will happen if instead of drafting a "deck" I'm drafting a pool with sideboard plans?

On Saturday I drafted a Boros deck with some light +1/+1 counters, equipment, and flicker themes.

KL was not kidding about removal being light. I took almost everything I saw and didn't end up with much. I made the four red spells work for me, but it was tough going. (I also ran Planar Disruption, which was decent, but had sided it out before my last game). I would've killed for a Banishing Light. Vampire's Vengeance was surprisingly useful.

Recruitment Officer and Bola Slinger were huge for me, with Frenzied Goblin doing some work too. Nothing I played felt like it shouldn't have been in the cube, but I did find myself craving equipment that added power and toughness cuz...

This cube might be about power and toughness. The impact of the rules text is light enough that the bodies really, really matter. The vanilla test is crucial.

With the importance of P/T in the context of scarce removal, I think combat tricks could really over perform. Looking at what's available... of course I didn't prioritize them: the rates are rough ...but they're probably more playable than I imagined.

Looking at a couple sample P1P1's, 4/4's and 5/5's look really tempting. Combat tricks don't, but maybe on the wheel.

Stray thoughts:

My favourite thing here is the use of sideboard options to enrich matches. I want my cube to have more of that, and I hope KL keeps leaning into it.

Is 540 the right size for this cube? Is 5 packs of 9 the best way to deliver the target experience with 4 players? When you only see 150 cards players don't have a ton of agency in the draft, and this is probably limiting synergy more than card selection.

Inefficient removal provides a certain texture; it works here. Scarce removal is a different texture, which I'm not sure is intended. This may have just been the 180 cards we had at the table, but at a very rough pass it looks like the ASFAN of removal might be under 1.5, which is pretty tight

Despite the removal, board stalls weren't a big problem in my games, which is great. Attacking is good! Games were brisk, and we finished the draft and round robin in like 3 hours I think, which rules.

I love that Peasant has some board wipes.

Would it be worthwhile to signal that combat tricks are viable? Feather isn't legal here, but maybe something like a Heroic theme? I'm not a fan of Heroic specifically, but something in the card pool that suggests playing tricks. Combat tricks are mentioned in the overview, but I mean signalling it through card selection, within the draft.

Incentives to attack are really fun. Cards that punish blocking are less fun. General Marhault Elsdragon was rightfully called out as a power outlier. It also provides rough play patterns: when you've got a 2/2 facing down a 4/4 trampler, the choice of taking 4 damage or losing your 2/2 and taking 6 isn't an interesting decision (but it does advance the game!)

Thank you so much to KL for hosting and providing the cube, and to everyone for the games. It also spared me from watching a brutal Leafs loss, and I ran into SF on the way home which was a really nice surprise.

Note

Now that Wotc has shown a willingness to print half-elf characters as "human elf", are there any half elves we could see from Magic's past pop up in the future (or any other mixed race combinations)? Only one I can think of is Fonn from the original Ravnica novels, and I may be misremembering her lineage.

Radha, Marhault Elsdragon, Freyalise, Fonn Zunich and Myczil Vod Savo are the half-elves of Magic of relevance.

I know the Stienbeck adaptation of Malory’s Morte is wildly innacurate in places, but its the first to actually interest me enough to read it. Loving the Sir Marhault + mature lady adventuring guide dynamic

I have to decide if I want the heroine of my otome game, whom I originally wanted to be Irish, be

1. Marhault/Marhas’ sister

2. Isolde’s sister

3. Scrap the whole idea and make her lady of an unmentioned place.
