[MTG]-Cataclysmic Gearhulk is Awful and I Hate It And You Should Too

Wii U NNID: MegaSpooky
Yeah ScoopShip is bonkers.
I kinda had a hunch that after crushing fnm that today was destined to be a stinker but eh. not going first in like three aggro mirrors is sad times
Twice.
He won that match, although game one was closer than that would suggest.
That first game vs Reid Duke showed that the whole pod was kind of nuts.

Mostly because it is really hard to answer and can be run by any deck.
Common answers are especially hard to find. White has zero since Fragmentize misses. Blue just has Malfunction unless you manage to catch it with Failed Inspection. Other than a timely Mind Rot black only has Tidy Conclusion. For green it's just Appetite for the Unnatural.
Red's answers are the most numerous, but also awkward. Demolish is kind of mediocre, Ruinous Gremlin only marginally better, and Welding Sparks needs at least two artifacts which can be hard if Skysovereign shoots one when it ETBs.
I've been on both sides of it and it is just miserable. I almost hate winning with it since it is so dumb.

ee: Wins with 1 card in library.
Opponent had a 39 CMC hand being one land or an enchanment sac from casting more Emrakuls. Had already burned through one Ulamog and one Emrakul.
Edit: Oh god, I feel bad for this caster. He sounds super sick.
This is probably going to be a Kaladesh block constructed thing, so... I dunno. What's the balanced way of doing this? I mean, in theory none of us would be splurging to make a deck, so singles buying shouldn't be so bad, but not all of us would want/have time to go card hunting.

what a card
I'd just ditch your "no buying singles" rule, then you don't get people opening a bomb rare dominating your group or someone not getting any good cards in the colours they like to play and not having any fun. It feels much better to just spend $30 on some singles to get what you really want to play rather then buying packs and not getting what you wanted.
If your really worried about keeping costs down then you can always cap the number of mythics/rares a deck can have.
and those that want to can easily get the cards they want via numerous internet stores without having to spend a lot of time.
they do it every pro tour and it always look super off-the-cuff and unpro
hmmmmmm
if you have a Metalwork Colossus in your graveyard and 6 clues (or any artifacts but clues are easiest)
you can play Marionette Master as a 4/6, sac all your clues to the Colossus (respond to each activation with the next activation) for an instant kill.
if you crack a masterpiece in a draft, they replace the pack in the draft at no charge, and you get to keep the pack with the masterpiece in it
nobody has to make the choice between taking the masterpiece and taking a card that suits their deck better, nobody gets blown out by masterpieces
it's a win-win
the draft pod before mine yesterday had someone who cracked a pack with a masterpiece and a Nissa
although I think it was optional, and you paid the $4 for the pack if you replaced it.
I actually wonder what casual (FNM - like) events would think about using a proxy for a Masterpiece yoh opened, so long as you can show it. Because if I opened, let's say, Sol Ring, Id WANT to play it, but hell if I want to be shuffling a 150 dollar card even sleeved. That's buy a LOT of Lantern pieces
I like the rare cap rule. I think I'll go with your idea, yeah.
That would probably be the first time Ive double sleeved a limited deck.

Official policy is that proxies can only be issued for miscut or otherwise out-of-the-pack "marked" card. No exceptions at any REL.
Im mostly excited for niblis of frost, I won't lie

My pool (Went RU once then switched to BR):
I have a sore lack of White creatures and a surplus of Blue creatures. Green doesn't look so half bad either, but lack of mana fixing hampers my decision to go 3 colors.
