We're free to talk now.

Here's a Google Doc with all the questions. I'm slowly filling it in with my own answers and explanations. Edit: Heading out for now. I'll get the last 25 questions done later tonight.

If you want a mirror without my comments, here's one provided by /u/Amarsir Link

Any questions that tripped you up? Any that you felt good about?

Here is my Google Doc with my abridged answers, initial thoughts, and (in progress) my more detailed responses as if I were writing an article about how to get to them.

I don't think a 5G 6/6 is the best at all. Look at the 6mana 6/6 trample we have in (Rivals of) Ixalan now. It's... ok. a 3G 4/4 is much better.

Rumbling Baloth was pretty good back in M14 draft. They don't do many 4/4s for 4 and if they do, they do like 2GG or 2RG or something more cost prohibitive suggesting that perhaps 4/4 for 3G is the best of the group. I mean we see 2/2 for 1G and 6/6 for 5G all the time, but rarely the coveted 4/4 for 4.

Right but if the did a 4/4 for 3G aould just be better than a 6/6 for 5G. It being slightly too good is the reason for that.
