MTG Cube Draft Table Insights

[@shaunsie]

I would love more content like this. Great to see other players evaluate their picks and theorize.

[@danielsoskey4676]

I love this concept for content! It sets itself above other cube gameplay content for me as a cube designer since it shows multiple perspectives of the same draft. I want to try this out with my cube group!

[@nicholaslapoint243]

This is EXACTLY the kind of cube content I want. I love seeing a holistic picture of the draft, the mini deck techs, and the analysis from the cube curator. I'm super impressed with the production quality and presentation as well (though this channel always meets that standard). I know getting this many people to contribute to one thing can be really difficult, but this came out great. Been considering it for a while, but this video made me sign up for the Patreon, it was that good haha A few suggestions/nitpicks: I know nothing can be done afterwards, but the accidental picks take some wind out of the sails. Maybe a longer timer/no timer? (tbf the issue may not recur after people use the app once) This is asking a lot - but I would LOVE a roundtable discussion of the experience afterwards (maybe before as well). I recognize this maybe too difficult to organize/time consuming for participants. Potentially could have the drafter talk to the curator when the deck is being discussed at the end.

I loved this! It would be awesome to have something like this for more "established" cubes (like The Pauper Cube, for example) with their respective managers drafting

[@CulticCube]

Hang on to your hat, as another one is coming up forthwith!

[@agiledrunk737]

This video was great! It'd be really fun to see some of the games, even knowing the results beforehand Worth noting as well because some of the drafters missed it, if you press "download draft log" it'll spit out a text file showing you every pick you made throughout the draft process

[@CulticCube]

That is so good to know, thank you! Bearz was talking last night about having done that, and I didn't realize it was a possibility. I'm glad to hear that you are interested in game play as well. I didn't know how popular this exercise would be, what components people are most interested in, and how much patience people might have. As this was already a two hour long video, I figured I'd just leave it at the draft portion. And, phew, can you imagine if we had eight drafts recorded?

[@agiledrunk737]

@Cultic Cube No doubt that would have stretched this out massively! Perhaps for the games rather than piecing them together into an edited video like this you could instead link to twitch recordings from each player's perspective. Then the onus is on the viewer to click on the 3h stream they want to watch and skipping through it as appropriate :) I'd say it's not worth your time editing, but doing the above should probably only take 20min (vs God knows how long it takes you to put together these great vids!) and would provide extra for those who are super keen

[@CulticCube]

This video was a grand experiment! I would love to know whether you like this sort of content, what you would change or improve about it (besides deleting the awful, awful mic sound during Jbro's segment -- apologies!). Thank you!

[@kylewhipple8303]

Should probably make sure everyone knows how to use the drafting interface before doing something like this. Hard to get into it when 2 out of the first 4 picks were accidental. Kinda lost me there.

[@CulticCube]

Yeah, fair enough! The theme of the draft was missed picks. Literally every one of us who recorded missed at least one pick. Frustrating! But we muddled through, and the experience was a lot of fun, despite that annoyance.

[@kylewhipple8303]

@@CulticCube I love Chateaux cube. Most nuanced discussion on cube out there. Just discovered your KZbin channel. Excited to see your content here.

[@heathhall3662]

Really great content!

[@Identify0909]

Very nice!

[@garfield957777]

premium content!

[@christoffergranbom6801]

What the heck is going on with the sound during the first draft?

[@CulticCube]

It's really bad, sorry! I should have just muted that bit. Apologies!!

[@christoffergranbom6801]

@@CulticCube I really like this kind of content though. Good job.

[@dimensive_mk]

Did it feel like there were too many walkers in the gameplay? (only 30 mins into the video, just an observation!)

[@CulticCube]

No, but then I have a high tolerance for planeswalkers. (I have a video on the subject of their uses in cube design as well.)

[@The_Sniffygull]

what is "cube"????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/

[@CulticCube]

a three-dimensional shape bounded by six equal squares?

[@The_Sniffygull]

wait i'm sorry is this a draft or a giraffe

[@stephenkonefal]

I swear I'm going to stay awake for this :p

[@CulticCube]

Oh man, don't kill yourself to watch it! The video isn't going anywhere! 😄
