It's called "rich-man's-draft" for a reason :P (That's the origin. Everyone gets a display and picks 1 card per pack)

yeah haha that seems to be how most people feel about it

Haha yup! This is why its good to subscribe to your favorite Creators:)

Castles

There are 2 girl that look like that

Why did you read my mind?

lmao

I think it's more like eating the Cheesecake Factory.

And being down 3 moxen and a crypt as potential draws. It was about as greed as you can get, and the opponent had zero pressure.

How would you replicate this as a paper cube exactly? I also want to try it.

@@draftsatmatts1476 i meant it more as the rhetorical you, like someone at wizard's could make it, doing this format outside of mtgo sounds like a huge pain. The best way to do it would be to use one of the websites that allow custom cube drafts then rent the cards on mtgo to play the games (power is cheap on mtgo) or proxy uppaper decks, assuming they add the format to those sites at some point. I don't actually know the site names off the top of my head but i know they exist. Honestly though what I like is that I can be done a draft and 3 rounds in under an hour, since there's so many forced picks and no other places the draft portion is super quick when you're not trying to explain your picks.

I would have went full greed on the jar, too...

The shot at playing a playset of a vintage-restricted card is reason enough to pick the tinker =D

Lotus, ancestral, twister, tinker, + 3 land is the best hand I've seen mulled. Just play lotus + ancestral and you have over 50% chance to tinker out citadel t1 before playing land. If you miss you can just twister and try again.

Trying to make storm work in timtless

I don't think so. It just feels that way because it's such a sought after card, that you notice when it's not there. Also it's first picked by everyone so the only way to see it is to open it yourself, no one is going to pass it to you.

Wow I'm actually surprised! Do you draft a lot of disruption? How many turns to get the kill?

Youst a regular aggro, tryed some mono red now but it lacks the dissruption that often wins me the game. T1 thalia can be so backbreaking that they cant compete with it. I usualy win T4-5 but if i get alot of power T3. Vortex is insane when they play time warp. Won 13games in a row before i lost the 1st game. Something i noted is that hate cards work even if you have like 2 power cards. One of the decks i went 3-0 with was realy bad but still won every game beckouse it was packed with hate. Everybody plays time warp and draw cards. The 2mana pirate that can steal instant and sorcerys from OP GY is sooo good.

yeah but you have multiple copies of power which has like, never been legal in a an actual sanctioned format until now

its more powerful but less balanced (missing 4xforce of will, red blasts, sphere of resistance etc for balance). 2 lotus in a 40 card deck is certainly more than 1 in a 60 card deck. Also double tinker. I wouldn't be surprised if the overall percentage of power in this deck is actually higher than in a vintage constructed list.

@@CalebGannon It seems like we have different definitions of powerful. I agree with your conclusions on concentration of power in the deck and 2 black lotuses being absurd in 40 card decks. But I think the checks and balances you mentioned would overwhelm these cube decks. This cube definitely makes me appreciate the restricted list or vintage matches would just be who drew their combo with force backup first (which it still sort of is, but with nuance)

There is no 4-of rule in Limited. I have seen 5 Cloudskates in a Nemesis release tournament. There is also no rule against 2 of the same card in the same pack of Magic: The Gathering, and they can even be foil Mythic/non-foil Mythic in the same pack, with exceptions to certain sets. There is also no 15-card sideboard rule, meaning you can sideboard in 16 basic Lands between games 1&2 or 2&3, including basic Lands you do not have or own.

they don't have haste

@@CalebGannon yeah but you did bolas at end of their turn, so why not wait until your turn, and instead of attacking with just the 1 goblin, attack with them all, then sac them

they stole my citadel with dack fayden

@@CalebGannon ah I missed that somehow, thanks, sorry I wasted your time, enjoying these draft videos very much

hey no problem, this is a super complicated format! I miss stuff all the time too :)

yeah, the format was fun for exactly one week and I am very glad it is over :P I wish this had raised some issues towards wizards about how unbalanced the vintage cube is, but probably not.

@@CalebGannon Well, the normal cube is a bit better IMO, because you are MUCH less guaranteed to hit certain cards, especially in certain colors, especially on the wheel. As far as this type of format though, I do genuinely wonder if 30 first picks would be more balanced, since it would force you to choose on those packs that had double power +/- card like Tolarian Academy.

It sure isn’t. At least not when it’s supreme draft.

I don't think so. Power is novel but you don't see everyone playing vintage constructed for example, even though online its often cheaper than modern
