Hello everyone! This is my first thread on these boards.
My friend and I really enjoy 1-vs-1 cube drafting, and we're always trying to come up with fun new ways to make it work. After this weekend I came up with an idea that I haven't had a chance to test, so I was hoping to get your input:
Make a stack of 140 cards. Deal 7 cards face down to each player. Both players look at their 7 and choose a card to keep, then shuffle the remaining 6 and randomly discard a card from it face down. Both players hand each other the 5 cards that are left, choose one of the 5 to keep, then randomly discard another face down. Both players hand each other the remaining 3 cards, choose one to keep, and discard face down the remaining 2. Repeat with new packs of 7 until all are gone.
This way, you receive a lot of options while still having interaction with your opponent. If you fail to wheel a second card from a pack, it will be difficult to know for certain whether your opponent took that card or whether it was randomly discarded (66% chance that it was discarded).
What do you guys think?
