In reply to Greg Harding. Shock lands would make the format much faster. Having lands enter play tapped is a real cost in a format with fixed mana. You have perfect mana but the cost is that in order to get double of one color you have to take a turn off and play a tapped land. You could certainly try it but it would put a huge emphasis on tempo

How’d you determine what lands to start with in your land stack? Would it be bad to start with 1 of each shock/dual instead? How would that effect gameplay?

In reply to Jonathan Little. The most important thing is to create a format that you and your friends enjoy and want to play. Personally, I cut extra lands and LD pretty quickly from my Danger Room. But as long as you have enough stuff to keep it all good and fair from a play perspective I'm sure it is fine. For what it's worth: your stack looks like it would be fun to play.

In reply to Brecht Van R. I try to err on the side of cheaper spells over more expensive spells. It's pretty annoying to open up a hand that can't play anything on turn three! I am really heavy on 2 and 3cc drops in my stack.

In reply to Luca Ashok. Each player has their own Graveyard. :)

Excellent article. I am excited to see you here on QS. I have been slowly making my danger room over the last year or so ever since I heard about it from Ben Stark. I am basically playing all of the cards I enjoy, although I realize the power level sometimes gets a bit out of hand. I would love to hear any comments about the current version. Thanks!

Does each player have their own graveyard? or shared?

I just started building my battlebox, so I read some articles last week about it (something I would love to play with my son later)

So my first thought was this article is a shameless copy of the one I read on starcitygames. But then I checked the names, and I was confused by the big difference in pictures ;).

Do you have data about the cmc distribution and creature vs other spells distribution. It may help me to balance my build.

I’m certainly going to include all 20 guildmages and as many multicolored charms as possible. Sadly, some of the older charms can harm the manabase, so I need to leave them out.
