2.0 has a very unique set of restrictions compared to other games with house loyalty and the banner systems. In many other games, you often will draft a certain amount of utility cards to help your deck function, synergies to help your strategy, and “bomb” (powerful effect) cards to help you diversify your deck. As the game moves forward, the 2.0 cube will slowly weed out the duplicates until no more than 1 copy of any card exists in the draft pool. The 2.0 cube in its current version has multiple copies of some cards due to the small nature of the card pool. It is also critical to feel out what players around you are drafting and keeping a poker face of your own.
There is a lot of hoping and guessing involved. Trying to decide what cards to take when your knowledge of what is available and how scarce a card is becomes a strategy in itself, separate from playing the actual game. However, if you aren’t playing with enough players to cover every card in the pool, there is also the added excitement of a card possibly not even being draftable! You may be at a draft “pod” where a card you want isn’t even in the packs for that pod. The cube list is public knowledge, which means you will go into drafting knowing exactly what cards are available and how many of each card is available in the pool. Generally, all players know what cards can possibly show up in a draft pool for cube. How does Cube differ from other forms of drafting? Following the last pack, players will build a deck with their individual pool of cards and play! Then, the process is repeated until all cards have been drafted. This process continues until all cards in a pack have been drafted. Pods are essentially randomized table assignments to keep too many players from drafting a certain group of packs at once. Players will sit in “pods” of specific numbers during the drafting process. Each time a pack is opened, you select one card and pass the remains of the pack to another player, just as you receive a pack from another player. You have to actually pick and choose the cards you will end up with for your deck, which often results in hard decisions as the cards you pass over can be drafted by your opponents, thereby increasing the quality of their own card pools. Cube is a type of “limited format,” since the entire card pool will not be available to you for deck building. You can essentially pretend that you are cracking open new packs of cards, even in an LCG format. This pool of cards is shuffled thoroughly and assorted into even “booster packs” for all players. Frequently, the cube for a game will consist of a diverse range of its most powerful cards and generally consist of only 1 copy of any card to make its draft value higher. Almost any game can make a cube from their card pool. VarysĬube refers to a large assortment of cards individually chosen to make a large, draftable “pool” of cards. I choose my allies carefully and my enemies more carefully still.
So the burning question is, “How do I cube draft 2.0?” Some people may be totally new to cube drafting in general. I know people who have more fun drafting cards then actually playing the game after they have built their deck.
It is considered by many to be the most fun you can have playing cards in casual settings. I have played a lot of different games in a lot of different ways in my tenure as a gamer, but there is always one thing I try to make out of every card game I touch: CUBE DRAFT.
