~Hoplomus~ Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Right, so I recently stumbled across an MtG format called "Cube Drafting". Basically, you design your own set, or "Cube", then play a booster draft with it. I thought that it would be a good idea to start a Yugioh cube designed by the members of YCM that could be improved by everyone as they test it. I found a guide to building MtG cubes, and a guide to playing YGO ones, and so I've adapted the MtG one and posted them both here.The cube is a 460 card set, excluding extra deck cards, easily enough for 8-10 players. The ratio is open to suggestions, and is as follows:[spoiler=Ratio for YCM cube]Monster Total = 216- 36 FIRE Monsters: - 16 Pyro - 20 Non-Specific - 36 WATER Monsters: - 12 Fish - 8 Aqua - 6 Sea Serpent - 10 Non-Specific - 36 EARTH Monsters - 10 Rock - 8 Beast - 18 Non-Specific - 36 WIND Monsters - 16 Winged-Beast - 20 Non-Specific - 36 DARK Monsters - 8 Fiend - 8 Spellcaster - 8 Warrior - 12 Non-Specific - 36 LIGHT Monsters - 8 Fairy - 8 Warrior - 8 Spellcaster - 12 Non-Specific Spell Total = 160- 20 FIRE Support- 20 WATER Support- 20 EARTH Support- 20 WIND Support- 20 LIGHT Support- 20 DARK Support- 40 Generic Trap Total = 848 Each FIRE, WATER, WIND, EARTH, LIGHT and DARK Support36 Generic 12 Synchros12 Xyz8 Fusions [spoiler=How to play]Copypasted from Pojo thread, will link it once I get on my laptop and off this phone.At the same time each player will take his first pack and open it. Ofthese 15 cards in this pack, you will need to choose one. Take theremaining 14 and pass them to your left. You then take the 14 cardsthat the person on your right passed to you and take 1 card. Then passthe remaining 13 cards to your left. You do this until you have gonethrough the entire pack. After this first pack you get a minute or so tolook through the cards you have drafted. Then you open the secondpack and do the same thing only you pass to the right after you havetaken a card. And then for the third and final pack you pass to the leftagain. Initial list is in progress, but expect the first attribute in a few days. All help is welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Interesting idea, but should be in Written Cards or somewhere. Besides, how do you want to make the draft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Hoplomus~ Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I was thinking that suggestions could be made by posters, and once the cube is complete the community can test it and give an insight on cards which aren't so popular, which can then be replaced, allowing a draft set that is always evolving and that is almost guaranteed to generate good gameplay. And just in case it wasn't clear, the set is made from existing cards :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Not what I mean. HOW do you want to make the draft itself? Have any program to do so? Also, ask a mod to move this to Written Cards/Realistic Cards, or close this topic and make a new one Ninja edits. First question still stays. Have any program to do the draft?

~Hoplomus~ Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 The draft would be carried out IRL, with each organiser assemblig the cube with their own cards, sometimes through the use of proxies. Around 8 players, or whatever can be managed, will then play a tournament using the cards they receive through the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I though you want to make it custom cards. So you pretty much want us to do the whole job for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Hoplomus~ Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Not really, I just want suggestions on particular changes and additions, and the overall ratio.That being said,Thoughts on Cydra, Kycoo and Banisher?EDIT: Tweaked LIGHT / DARK to include Fiends and Fairies.EDIT 2: LIGHT and DARK both done, WC11 makes it easy :) will post them once my laptop can get internet.
