So it looks like we have 4 people who are keen. I'm not going to assume that this will be the lineup for the league, so anyone else who is interested can still post. For prize support, I was going to suggest that 2nd place gets their entry back and the winner gets everything else. So how about...

We came up with this idea to enable some competition on Riptide(prize support, however minor, gives something for people to work towards). The grid drafts are great fun, just trying to promote people to play them is the hard part. People seem to be keen for normal 8-man drafts, just getting to...

To be honest it is a little sad to see a Penny Grid Draft that doesn't have my name on it. This should be some good experience for you too Grillo, since I don't think you have hosted a draft before :P

Yeah, I went a bit off the rail with Tidehollow sculler there. I don't know why I put it in there when I didn't put in Banisher Priest, I guess I just thought my list was a little light? It is more Thalia-esque in hindering removal with that two power instead of something like Brain Maggot...

I don't know if Mnemonic Wall is what Laz is after as a 'defensive card'. While it is technically a defensive card (it does have the word defender in its text box), what Laz it looking for is cards that can stave off the early attacks (to which I am assuming turns 1-4). Then you get to the point...

Yeah, there were some points in the draft I question what you were taking. Having those two sweepers early scared me a lot, and I like to think I nudged you down the token line to make you not use them. Then tried to keep picking things that give me a decent midrange punch (I kept complaining...

Also, after watching my draft video (I have no idea why I am watching my own video, and worse, enjoying it). I noticed that the Mulldrifter curse has been lifted! I love you drifty. Don't ever leave me.

The final grid draft in you 'league' so to speak and the first grid draft where I had my recording setup. It was an interesting draft. I seemed to be in 'Safra Cube' mode and kept picking high powered things with decent fixing rather than a cohesive gameplan. Here is the deck I ended up...

So I wanted to listen to your discussion, but didn't want to do it sitting at a computer for 2 hours. So I spent waaaaayyyy too much time trying to convert it to an mp3 file (which ended up successful). I also amped up the volume, as it was really quiet. I am sure there are others here that...

So I checked out my recordings and they weren't as bad as I was expecting them to be. Also, I hadn't changed my setup for the now monitor so the resolution when I uploaded to youtube was pretty blurry. As long as you don't want to read the tiny card text it is fine. But other than that if you...

I wouldn't add Scuttling Doom Engine expecting it to be a big blue control finisher. It is generic enough that it gets picked up by everyone else. I love the card and use him myself (I call him Señor Scuttles), but I'm sorry he just isn't the droid you are looking for (although after writing all...

So that was pretty fun. We had 5 drafters (Safra, Myself, Meltyman, Vennythekid and Marwatt) and 4 players (Marwatt had to leave). I decided to record what I was doing, in which I found it hard to talk and actually draft at the same time. I kept holding up all the packs (oops). I'll check out my...

Friday is cool for me too. Although, that only makes 3 people at this point :\ I may check this out later. Thanks for the heads up. I doubt anything will go wrong when we use it, but it is nice to know what the problem is if we ever run into it. I have a domain, so I can run a mirror on...

Since we now have the capabilities of doing online drafts with Penny Pincer (myself) or Jason's/Safra's cubes (Jason, Safra, James, Aoret) we may as well use them right? I think trying to do them every weekend was a little bit too much of an ask so why not just do them over the holidays? Since...

I just realised why it untaps only two lands. It's so you can crack a clue. That's pretty flavourful. If not a little too obscure for people to notice.

Grillo has asked how I make the grid draft threads, so I thought I would help him out and anyone else who is curious (Feel free to add to this Safra, since you and Jason are the only other ones who know how). How to Make a Grid Draft Thread Easy method, PM me. I'll do it all for you :p Now...

I believe that 1 and 2 are just inbuilt to limited environments. The actual drafting process leads to improvisation and sub-optimal deck building. I don't think you can even really design for that. Being restricted to a limited card pool that you had to choose yourself enforces both of these...

Welcome to the forums. As with any first cube project, expect to come under a trial by fire. I have given your cube a couple of drafts to feel for the format and it seems like a decent starting point, and I can see what you are trying to do. Since you were nice enough to have a bullet list of...

He has always been a fan of goblins, which is why he took them and the welder. The bushwhackers did a decent amount of work that I didn't think they would in this format. Being able to give your whole team haste after a living death is rather nuts. Will probably switch one over to a reckless...

I got to move into my new place (I bought a house!) last weekend. After Game Day some people were keen to play so since my new place was the closest and there isn't anyone else at the house to inconvenience it was the perfect place. So even with barely any thing unpacked we cobbled together a...
