two : I don’t own the cards that can deal with a turn three 20/20 indestructible. If Depths didn’t have indestructible then regular removal could deal with it. But as it is it’s just too hard. And I don’t want folks to feel they MUST hate draft the Depth pieces to avoid it.
Its cut.

one : if you have to play all the cards you draft then 30 card decks decreases mental load. No cuts is fast. And your deck is basically your hands side board, and less options, should be easier to pick from. And 30 card decks are more consistent, which is a big part of planing your opening 7.

Minor update : after pulling together 160 cards to go with the 100 lands, for the Preppers / 3CB desert cube experiment …I’m thinking 2 things :

Spoiler alert : this is going to be almost a 3 Card Blind cube, as there will be no deck building, but you will be able to choose your opening hand.
Yes. You see dark depth there in the corner. Yea you should think about that.

This is what cube is for! Creating specific environments that let esoteric archetypes shine! Thanks for the hot tip!

Wait… what? Please explain, I don’t know this magic.

There definitely a design choice in here, of how explosive the opening hands should be. Reanimate could be insane, but if countered, terrible.
It’s a line of how much can one get away with out of the gate vs play to a long game stability

Might be high, but I like the idea that some lands become last picks and then are mainboarded by the ‘no deck building’ rule.

Absolutely. This is where we need to set the power level, and ask if cards like the chancellors are in or out.

Totally! I think supporting land destruction would balance out this environment, to chill out the 5 land openings

We never got to play the micro formats ‘5 Alive’ or ‘Nearby Planet’, which both use the ‘draft your opening hand’ , but I assure you, once you do, it’s wildly addictive. I’m trying to weave it into a larger 8 player system. We’ll see if something works.

With the rule that you must play all cards you draft, it means you are mainboarding last picks and potentially lands no one wanted.
So you could 5 land your opener and hope. Seems like a good strategy.

Thinking about cards, some the opening hand is going to be very sharp, things like Mental Misstep or Force of Will are interesting.

Speaking of lands, these could be low tier, enter tapped or otherwise, and still be great. Which is a fun way of playing with the texture or theme.
Gemstone Caverns is interesting here.

I’m thinking that folks main board 3 lands and maybe put 10 more in their decks.
Which means the total lands in the desert can be like only 100.
