That said, it is profitable. Winners get 12 packs in a 8-4 for a total of 48 tix. Players pay 56 tix to play the thing so they are gaining at least 8 tix. When you consider that 56 is pure tix (which come only from the store) and not packs which nobody buys from the store anyway it looks really good for wizards to do these. 4-3-2-2s and Swiss are even better for then as they give less packs.

I heard a rumor that mtgo stopped cube drafts because it was unprofitable. What if mtgo extended the time to 45min per round for cubes, therefor keeping all the players who are concerned with time and playing multiple drafts away from cube. This would lower the amount of players spending money on cube drafts and therefor keep their(mtgos’)losses to a minimum?

I got into a F6 war with an opponent while we each had less than 3 minutes to go and won the match because my internet connection was fractionally higher. ( my clock actually went to 00:00 when his clock was at 00:01 )

Anywho, thanks for the awesome content!
