People still cut to see who goes first? Damn I'd hate to play an aggro deck with you guys....
I've made a case for the fact that a deck with lower CMC deserves to go first, to no avail.

My group's reasoning is that the player with a higher CMC card on bottom is being denied apowerful card and should have priority forit, but it doesn't make much sense to me :/

Yeah, that doesn't make sense at all. A "powerful" card is only a powerful card if you can get to the mana to cast in from a safe possition. If that reasoning was sound then everyone would just run 6drops.dec. I'd hate to have a 5 Swamp  , 2 Grave Titan  hand.

Yeah, I remember cutting instead of rolling die when I first started playing, but now I realize how many problems there are with that. Also, I think we went with the lowest CMC winning, so there was a lot of trying again after both players cut a land, and I think it was generally accepted that the winner should make the other player go first because then they wouldn't draw on their first turn... 
Thanks for explaining, by the way, Mage. I'm pretty sure my playgroup also plays with that rule, so that permanents that a player owns when they lose are treated as leaving the battlefield.

Who the hell cuts to see who goes first anymore? I thought that was a relic of the past. The cool way to go is to guess collectors numbers.
So White Weenie always goes last vs. MBC?
We changed the O-ring rules after a guy O-ringed the commander of a player with a seal of cleasing  on the table, then conceded in response to the o-ring being targeted. Permanent Commander lockout, becuase the owner had let it get removed, rather than going to the commander zone.

Most people let their opponent guess even/odd for the collector number of a hidden card (sometimes a card outside the game, sometime from a deck cut). Unless your opponent researches your deck/card collection very carefully, it should be pretty close to 50/50.

However, it is unfairly biased against decks that only contains cards with odd collectors' numbers (or the even cooler, prime collectors' number only decks).
Excuse me, I have a deck to build.

Player one chooses a card from their collection or deck. Player two guesses even or odd. If they are right, they make the call. If they are wrong, you do.

Ah, I hadn't seen that before. If we don't have dice, we use Rock-Paper-sisscors, despite what the offical RPS Legues will tell you.
