Rolling Earthquake is JUST EARTHQUAKE??? Honestly, you drafted so poorly and got hooked up with so much stuff anyway. You need to learn what cards do before you cube and record yourself.

Saying that MTGO doesn’t want new players in Cube is kind of obvious. I used to play real-life Magic way back in the day (original Ice Age was the last set I bought). Then I played online with the first iteration of Magic (the stand-alone computer game and the online component to that) and then played online with MTGO back in the day when it was a free beta with Leaping Lizards – dropped it as soon as they changed over to the pay method.

Now I am back after so many years, and Cube is way overwhelming to me. I hardly have enough time to read all the cards for each draft pick. And, yes, playing against some of the archetypes can be very boring as you don’t get to do much on your side.

But where else would you see this type of card interaction for only $8? And then if you play it a lot, it gets cheaper.

Isn’t savannah better than a forest in your deck? I mean it can get wasted but it also makes your farseek better.
As always, I really like your videos!

Chupon, I 100% agree with what you said. Organizing a cube is something I would ordineraly never be able to do and MODO allows me to play if for a rather small price – I am good enough to only need 2 tix to enter all the cubes after the first one, so getting to play 4 cube swiss drafts (which is lots and lots of individual games!) for the amount of money I could use to watch a movie seems like a fine deal for me. Magic is a hobby and I willingly pay for the thing I love doing.

Drone, calculate the amount of money you will spend on 8-4 queues and after that calculate the amount you would have spent if all queues would have the same payout and entry condition as cube. Guess what? for about 80% of us, the latter is equally as cheap or even cheaper than the latter.

Marshal, awesome draft, man. always a pleasure to watch these

Shut it Chupon,
at least think first before you wirte something stupid.
I think everybody is fine if the chances are low goin infinite in a draft but the fact, that you basically cannot go infinite in cube, is just a huge pile of crap and Swiss Cube feels really really terrible in the prize payout. It’s like they don’t want new playersin cube…

Ramp is the one archetype that WOTC needs to nerf for its cube. Its not that its overpowered, its just boring to play/play against and way too easy to draft. Non-interactive decks aren’t fun.

At least storm is hard to draft/play. And reanimator at least needs to be relatively open.
