Great Videos, Marsh. You piloted what turned out to be a pretty difficult deck very well, with only a few loose plays, mainly due to unfamiliarity with the interactions.
You missed a couple things R1, but whateves,
You missed a sweet play, R2G2, where you could have cast Manikin in response to FoF before he could load up his hand with anything from the Fact or Fiction. Does not seem like a big deal because it didn’t end up mattering, but it was an option.

Great Job, Again, This is probably the hardest draft format ever. Maybe the next time cube comes up, you and Loucks could do a draft like you and Ryan used to? I think that would be interesting. A good learning experience for everyone.

Just felt like chiming in and saying that recently I cubed in MODO, and stared down at a first with Survival of the Fittest in it – and, taking inspiration from this video, first picked it and won the draft (even despite forgetting that certain Eldrazi shuffle themselves and the graveyard to your deck instead of just remaining dead – making them not the bestt reanimator targets ever :P).

I never understood how the deck works before watching these videos but now I feel that I know how the deck ticks, and so this is the first time that I got to so directly apply something I learned in MTGOacademy. that’s really cool.

You should really take Josh his advise to heart, I was going to say the exact same thing, you always end up with enough playables in cube, getting a good manabase is more important, and except for bombs you should take lands very highly. I generally pick around 4-5 lands in the first booster. Cubing (with good cube drafters) is a lot more like constructed than regular limited, people have very streamlined decks and stumbling for a bit can cost you the game. I don’t disagree with a lot of picks but almost every pick where you were deciding between taking a land or taking another spell you should have taken the land. You will get enough creatures or good cards, fixing is rare, even more so on the modo cube. I liked your deck but you could have gotten a deck with 95% of the power level you got here with a manabase that would have been much, much better making your deck much better as well.
