Yeah. Really bad cube drafting. Good playskill, though.

As cool as this display method may (or may not) be, I’d still suggest setting up playlists on the YouTube end. Fullscreen is a lot nicer when you don’t have to switch back and forth.

I’ll look into that, though we keep our videos unlisted on Youtube. Not sure if that would prevent playlisting them.

#4 P1P1: You consider Rift Bolt as an impetus to go mono-red, but don’t even mention Keldon Champion. Obviously Rift Bolt is good, but Keldon Champion is just bonkers in that deck, right? Does it just tend to wheel because it’s double red? I’ve never drafted mono-red before, so I’m just curious.

Hi quantum! I think that Keldon Champion is a fine card (especially against block-light decks), but it isn’t bonkers. Echo is a much worse in the new age of Magic creatures; you can lose a lot of tempo paying for it. Also, it is possible that I was just tired and had a bit of oversight (not mentioning it). Hope this clears things up!

Z- I’ll chat with AJ about display options

I guess I will try to get AJ to do one of these as a Let’s Play. I think the changes to the cube were for the worse, but we might manage a fun experience out of it. Let’s hope to see some truly creative cube design as the feature moves forward!
