Re: value conversation above.
I like to think of it this way. Lets assume you don’t care about collecting, and you are like me and you just play online to play limited.
With the Cube swiss, if you just want to play magic, a 2-1 record gets you another free draft.
In a regular phantom sealed, a 2-1 nets you -2 phantom ticks, so you have to win a draft ~1/4 of the time if you 2-1 the rest of the time to be “infinite.”
In Cube, any wins, instead of bringing you back above even, are actually netting you a larger buffer, as your 2-1 records aren’t depleting your phantom tickets.

Either way, sealed or draft queues, that’s pretty easy comparabily to keep a record going. Once you have even a small pool of phantom tickets you need to crater pretty hard to be unable to complete do another.

TL/DR: Chaining phantom points is easy. Draft for days.

Though really it depends on what you mean by value. I remember one LR where Marshall said he did primarily Swiss, as with a full time job, and no time to restart a draft, he valued the ability to play all 3 rounds more highly than the possibility of extra packs won.

Could it be that 3 months into the format he (and we) value a different drafting experience more than playing a format we have played or watched almost exclusively for 10 weeks, even if the monetary EV is worse? (not that we even care by watching, as its his EV taking the hit)

Also, cube looks fun, and Marshall is clearly a closet Timmy !
