Cube Drafting

[noxy]

Hey guys,

I'd like to build a Cube to draft once a week or every 2 weeks.

What is Cube Drafting?
Simply put, it's a pool of cards that is put together, containing a lot of powerful cards taken from all editions and that you draft with a minium of 4 people.
So you end up drafting the best cards ever printed in MtG and building a deck with it.

A lot of fun and power, and a potential substitute to other formats that we are not playing at the moment in the UAE (Type 1, 1.5, Extended) because we do not have the cards.

For more information here are some sources:

The cube list i plan on using at the beginning

Btw: for the cards I do not own, we'd be putting proxies and I'll try to get the missing ones when possible.


Anyone interested? Let me know and we could give it a shot this week.

Important: YOU do not need ANY cards at all, since I/Akin will be bringing the cards we are going to play with.


Cheers,

The Cube is an amazing format, and like Noxy said, you don't need to bring anything.

The Cube that I have consists of the following:

80 White cards
80 Blue cards
80 Black cards
80 Red cards
80 Green cards
50 Multicolor cards
50 Artifact cards
40 Lands

for a total of 540 cards, which I have divided into 36 booster packs of 15 cards each. With them you could play any kind of limited format you can think of. Take 5 packs each for a sealed deck, play 2 player winston draft or an 8 man booster draft.

With the quailty of the cards, the games become pretty insane.

Currently I am still in Abu Dhabi, and I think I'm going to be here for a couple more weeks. When I get back to Dubai I would be more than happy to start playing with the cube.

See you all soon.
