I hadn't thought about it in terms of publishing content. That makes a lot of sense though.
Just to put out the feelers, does anybody have cards they'd be willing to loan / donate to such a project?
I'll give ~30 tix if I can draft a couple of times 
Also, what was the thought on the content?
Also, what was the thought on the content?
- Recordings on the drafting for as many people as possible?
- Skype banter or just personal banter while drafting/playing?
- Will everyone require recording epuipment or is it mainly just for J-Wadds to display?
- Articles as well (sort of like the 3-0 thread)?
Well, I would probably make my own content and the rest would be free to record whatever they wanted.I'll give ~30 tix if I can draft a couple of times

Just curious on what avenues to take. Would be happy to watch/read/participate in any such content

I would be using it to test new ideas, like, had the idea of implementing some three-color squadron picks (pick one three-color card, get another spell and a land with it). Just testing ideas in the shell of an established cube.

The Eldrazi Domain Cube (or similar) would probably be much cheaper, no?

It would be fun to see that cube in action, I've always wondered how it played.
If this turned into CFB content that would pretty dope...
Cheaper, yes, but not as interesting in the long run (to me at least)
So the problem with mtgo cubing is the trading is laborious. Apparently there used to be some software that automated the trading process. Anybody have any idea about that?
Alternatively, if any of you can point me to mtgo trading bot software, I might be able to make something myself.

How does this work mechanically? Do you just do the draft in another program, trade the cards, and than play the games?

Is the trading really that bad? I mean, download the complete deck from whatever you draft in. Import into MTGO, set deck as wish-list, use wish-list filtering with the cube owner... Ok, that does get pretty cumbersome fairly quickly, especially if some of the cards are already in your collection.
I had thought about maybe just having two accounts, and sharing the password to one of them. Then I just take the cards I need for my deck from the one, and my opponents each round use the main account to build their decks and play against me. Is that against some terms of service? Would I get robbed of the whole cube?
EDIT: Scratch this idea. I would want everybody to be able to use MODO, the two-account solution doesn't solve this.

Well, there's this:

The gist:
The question was more about whether it's okay to let others use my account.
There's this:

So, here's a thought:
What if it's a kind of communal account where people can host their own cubes. To help parlay costs, people would get a "hosting license" one they contributed a certain amount to the project. Then they could host their own cube drafts via the account. There's a lot of overlap between RipLab cubes, so acquiring the cards for a second (or third) cube list would be a fraction of the cost of the first one.
Then we can make a calendar where people schedule drafts to be run. Then you guys can draft on weeknights in the US.
Thoughts?
The other benefit of having multiple cubes on there is that it makes it easier to test new cards, as we'd have a larger pool to choose from. RipLab has been around a few years, maybe we can start doing something cool with it.
