Cube Draft Podcast!
By Evan on Mar 17, 2009 in Draft Strategy, audio
Over at MTGCast, Mr. Suitcase has just posted a very interesting podcast regarding his cube and cube drafting.
Thanks for Mr. Suitcase for letting me know about it, and check it out!
Interesting pod cast. His cube seems to be very large with lots of less-than-exciting cards. I much prefer the cube listed on this site, but I certainly understand the benefits of having a larger, more diverse cube like MrSuitcase’s.
Sometimes the cube on this site can seem small; you often see the same card interactions and plays from week to week. A larger cube inevitably forces one to include sub-optimal cards (which is normal in a traditional booster draft), but it allows for more unseeable plays, unique game situations, and fun, tense, and longer games.
I presently run a copy of the Cubedrafting.com cube, card-for-card, but I have deeply considered expanding it to include more of the types of cards touched on by Mr.Suitcase. (definitely not Liar’s Pendulum though.)
