Absolutely agree that 3 colors is no stretch, even 4 and 5 colors are viable strategies in cube.
However had they taken lands they would have only taken GU ones, as those were the only ones they even considered…
There certainly is room for improvement as far as drafting cube goes.

If they were more than 2 colors they could have taken and played some more powerful cards in other, and maybe their deck wouldn’t have been outgunned. That’s why lands are important.

Also guys, if you noticed their board, this is clearly not an opposition deck.
An opposition deck MUST have a lot of creatures.
In those games if you add opposition to their hand instead of any card, most of the time even in addition to their cards, it does nothing.
Its a great card but not for this deck.

@tuntun and suntzu – I don’t think the problem was lands, at no point were they forced to mulligan or otherwise got color issues.
Ponder did its job and its a 2 colors deck, imagine they had blue/green lands instead, what does it change?
It changes nothing, their deck was outgunned.
It was too slow vs the first round opponent who ran mono-counters, another couple of 1 drops would have ended him.
It was too slow vs the round 3 mid-range as it was able to produce aggro but also lacked late game which that mid-range deck had, their late game was hornet which is a way to slow down the game rather than a win-con and the titan which really doesn’t do enough.
If you want the game to go long you must have bigger game than your opponents late game, and they never had it.
That was the problem not land issues which never really occurred, its a 2 colors deck and they still had a couple of fixing/ramping cards too, that was plenty.

love you guys even if you’re terrible but you really need to value lands more

Not even mentioning Opposition in the 3rd pack?
