The recent article about cubes (what a fantastic article, good job Mr Koch) got me thinking.
Do you have a cube? Do you have a quirk or usp for your cube that you'd like to share? How do you organize/protect your cube?
I use basic decks as a backbone. Each player starts with the same 10 cards- 1 Sycamore, 1 Tierno, 2 great ball, 2 dce, 2 smeargle, and 2 eevee, etc and then drafts 3 x 10 XY-on cards in the cube for a 30-card deck. Allows for "high level play" and consistent decks and decreases the number of cards needed in the cube by 30%. In typical half-deck style, the quantity cap on a given card is 2.
All cards in my cube are sleeved and I also have 20 of each basic energy in the same sleeves, and I store it in elite trainer boxes.
How established is this format exactly? I only have one because I love drafting and Magic went completely off the rails a few years ago. I didn't know it was a thing anyone else did.
