| May 1, 2012 at 19:18 | comment | added | Steven Stadnicki | @user1873 : it's a standard draft other than the cardpool; 15-card 'packs' are built at random from the cube pool (ideally without duplicating any cards, i.e. 'singleton' style, but the MTGO cube had a minor bug in its first go-round) and then distributed to the players in usual draft fashion. | |

| May 1, 2012 at 3:45 | comment | added | user1873 | What is unclear to me from the link, is this a Rotisserie draft (all cards face up, pick the card you want, choice rotates to the person to your left 8-player draft), or are these cards just the ones that make up 15 card packs? | |

| Apr 30, 2012 at 11:28 | comment | added | rahzark | @ghoppe I believe the answer will be a lot different, specially because the card pool is known. It's different to ask for general draft strategies or INN draft strategies, for example: in INN draft we can actually talk about decks like self-mill with spider spawning. In cube it's the same: there's the general archetypes like aggro, control, etc, but you can also build something a lot more specific like reanimator, burn, wildfire, ramp, white weenie, etc. | |

| Apr 30, 2012 at 9:32 | comment | added | ghoppe | Not sure how the answer to this question will be any different than this one. It seems to me the cube is large and varied enough not to have any overarching "standard" archetypes… Just draft with a strategy in mind (Aggro, Control, Combo, some hybrid) and draft cards that fit that strategy. | |
