Winchester Draft
Today Tom LaPille posted at Daily MTG a new 2-person draft format, similar to Winston but faster and more intense. It sounds like a good upgrade to our default small group draft format:
Winchester Draft
Basically it's Winston but with 4 face-up piles instead of 3 face-down ones, so that instead of looking sequentially at the piles, you look at all of them, pick one, replace it with a card and add a card to each other pile. It's more skill intensive because choices are more informed.

Draft Report - May 14, 2011
- Naka (WU Control) 4-1, 9-4
- Thomas (BG Control) 4-1, 9-4
- Kamila (WU Control) 3-2, 6-5
- TBT (R Aggro) 2-3, 6-7
- Érico (BG Midrange) 1-4, 4-9
- Vitinho (WG Midrange) 1-4, 3-8
In a metagame heavy on control, midranges suffer and the slowest control wins. This time theory and practice agreed, in a draft where decks were exceptionally powerful after my recent changes in the cube.
It's worth noting that WU and BG were each drafted by 2 people, R was given all to one single person and WG stayed out of this mess. Therefore, only 3 of the 10 two-color combinations were used, leaving most multicolored stuff and several nonbasic lands sitting uselessly in sideboards.
Intesting fact: R Aggro was defeated twice by poison, and by different opponents. BG Control killed with an unanswerable Phyrexian Crusader, while Kamila's WU Control stole a Taurean Mauler with Corrupted Conscience.
WU Control
Naka
6 Plains
6 Island
Mystifying Maze
Faerie Conclave
Celestial Colonnade
Evolving Wilds
Seaside Citadel
Urza's Factory
Oona's Gatewarden
Goldmeadow Harrier
Azorius Guildmage
Darksteel Myr
Wall of Frost
Meloku the Clouded Mirror
Archon of Justice
Oona, Queen of the Fae
Ancestral Vision
Swords to Plowshares
Sunlance
Curse of Chains
Impulse
Standstill
Dissipate
Absorb
Icy Manipulator
Control Magic
Wrath of God
Day of Judgment
Phyrexian Rebirth
Condescend
An old school control deck, resembling a lot legacy's Landstill - mass removal, counterspells, resilient victory conditions in the lands (in constructed Kjeldoran Outpost, Mishra's Factory and Faerie Conclave, here Celestial Colonnade, Urza's Factory and the Conclave itself). Most importantly, Standstill, which present the lose-lose choice to the opponent of accelerating the game or allowing card disadvantage.
An interesting aspect of this deck was that with Icy Manipulator, Darksteel Myr and Mystifying Maze, I could force the opponent to overextend, while slow-rolling my three Wraths. This was great both in terms of card advantage as in tempo, causing the game to drag for long enough for me to accumulate 10+ lands and take it with manlands and token generators.
The deck's weakness became obvious in the match I lost, against R Sligh. With only Goldmeadown Harrier and Swords to Plowshares to defend against bloodthristy Genju of the Spires, Jackal Pup and Hellspark Elemental, my life total very quickly in two games, one closed by Manabarbs when I tapped out to block lethal.
BG Control
Thomas
11 Swamp
5 Forest
City of Brass
Quicksand
Will-o'-the-Wisp
Twinblade Slasher
Wall of Tanglecord
Dauthi Horror
Dauthi Marauder
Phyrexian Crusader
Nyxathid
Silent Arbiter
Throat Slitter
Sapling of Colfenor
Nath of the Gilt-Leaf
Raven's Crime
Inquisition of Kozilek
Manriki-Gusari
Doom Blade
Chainer's Edict
Living Wish
Moment's Peace
Hymn to Tourach
Kor Dirge
Krosan Grip
Putrefy
Sudden Death
Soul Foundry
Mystic Melting
Hatred
Disembowel
Relevant Sideboard:
Ob Nixilis, the Fallen
Acidic Slime
Vampire Hexmage
Silklash Spider
BG is an atypical color combination for control (I wanted a Pernicious Deed to change that). Despite this, the deck worked pretty well in disrupting the opponents' plans with lots of discard, versatile removal and card advantage engines like Nath of the Gilt-Leaf, Sapling of Colfenor and Soul Foundry. Living Wish gives access to silver-bullets out of the sideboard.
The deck's offense is varied: Dauthi Horror and Dauthi Marauder are virtually unblockable and can end long games by themselves. Nyxathid and Nath of the Gilt-Leaf will beat down crippled opponents quickly. The most reliable win condition is Soul Foundry, however slow it is. Hatred could steal games out of nowhere, forcing the opponent to play around it when he had a similar life total.
WU Control
Kamila
11 Island
8 Plains
Halimar Depths
Isamaru, Hound of Konda
Kor Skyfisher
Kami of Ancient Law
Wake Thrasher
Ninja of the Deep Hours
Grand Arbiter Augustin IV
Harvest Gwyllion
Conundrum Sphinx
Djinn of Wishes
Brainstorm
Force Spike
Lightning Graves
Reprisal
Raise the Alarm
Mana Leak
Sword of Light and Shadow
Snakeform
Complicate
Paralyzing Grasp
Solemn Offering
Prison Term
Chastise
Faith's Fetters
Corrupted Conscience
Opportunity
Confiscate
Another WU Control deck which plays quite differently than mine. I've seen the same archetype be possible with cardlists with little overlap, but since this one was created in the same draft as mine, the card lists' interesection was restricted to the basic lands.
The plan for this deck is to grind down the opponent with removal and counterspells while beating with a finisher or anything equipped with Sword of Light and Shadow. With only Conundrum Sphinx and Djinn of Wishes as fatties though, frequently Confiscate and Corrupted Conscience need to be used to steal a win condition.
The big merit of this deck is how broad the removal suite is. Problematic enchantments, artifacts and obviously creatures are shut down easily with Solemn Offering, Faith's Fetters, Chastise, Prison Term and Confiscate, among other options.

New Card Batch 6
This time I'm not adding cards from any order or booster pack, just bringing back ones I had removed from the cube and a few from my collection.
The main points in this update were:
1. Taking out things that weren't played often.
2. Kicking out my rules of "no functional reprints" that was keeping Terramorphic Expanse and Elite Vanguard out because of Evolving Wilds and Savannah Lions.
3. Try out some stuff I have a good feeling about:
4. Bring back those cards we've missed:
5. After so much discussion, put Equilibrium in.

- Eric (WUG Aggro-Control) 2-2, 5-5
- Naka (WR Control) 1-3, 3-6
- Kamila (BG) 1-3, 3-7
I can't comment much about these deck because mine was pretty crappy and I did not last long in most games. The lists and their outline are below anyway.
BG Aggro-Midrange
Jão
7 Forest

Birds of Paradise
Vinelasher Kudzu

Nath of the Gilt-Leaf
Steel Hellkite
Brittle Effigy
Rancor
Manriki-Gusari
Dolmen Gate
Last Gasp
Chainer's Edict
Elephant Guide
Helm of Possession
A BG deck with lots of raw power all over the mana curve, putting pressure from the beginning and clearing the way for Nath of the Gilt-Leaf and Steel Hellkite. Helm of Possession was great backup in a deck with so many creatures.
UR Counterburn
Érico
9 Island
8 Mountain
Magus of the Scroll
Kjeldoran Marauders
Hellspark Elemental
Palladium Myr
Wake Thrasher
Chronozoa
Razormane Masticore

Lightning Bolt

Fire/Ice
Pyroclasm
Sword of Light and Shadow
Psionic Blast

A more aggressive build of counterburn, with Kjeldoran Marauders, Hellspark Elemental and Chronozoa to get in some damage quickly and lots of the spell that name the archetype.
WUG Aggro-Control
Eric
4 Plains
3 Island
Graypelt Refuge
Pendelhaven
Mosswort Bridge
Rupture Spire
Halimar Depths
Sejiri Refuge

Platinum Angel
Infiltration Lens
Brainstorm
Mesmeric Orb
Impulse
Legacy's Allure
Windfall
Glorious Anthem
Squirrel Nest
Prison Term
Dismal Failure
Wrath of God
Phyrexian Rebirth
A deck which is interesting because of its mana base - the huge amount on nonbasic lands allow playing three colors with lots of double colored costs. Besides that, it puts pressure early with Pianna, Nomad Captain, Soltari Crusader and Leonin Skyhunter then switches to control mode until it can win with fatties or Phyrexian Rebirth.
