In regular Draft...you opening a GB are facing a situation where you'll debate yourself wether to: Oh look a GB...Someone certantly may be picking them...or not?...Should I pick it just in case...will somebody realized I first picked a GB and they'll won't pass them...and what if I don't pick the Self Discards cards and someone else picking up those Dark Worlds?...and What if in the cube there is a JD and i'm passing those LS to someone else?...Etc [/quote] as it's over the interwebz, it's a face-up draft. Face-down drafts would be hell to organize. Everyone is aware of previous persons' choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Michael Geren Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 GBs are amazing in cubes. I've seen sample lists from Allen's cube. Apprentice GBs were the s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We plan to get 8. lrn 2 read [/quote] Why would that be a difference...also Roschester Draft is made for 8 people to begin with [quote]Rochester Draft is a lot like Booster Draft, but there are a few important differences. Instead of each player opening a pack at the same time, only one pack is open at any time. That pack is laid out face up, so you’ll see all the cards drafted at your table. Also, the draft order reverses after everyone at the table has taken one card from the pack. Let’s say that eight people are starting a Rochester Draft, and they’re numbered from one to eight clockwise around the table. Player 1 opens the pack and lays it out on the table. After everyone has had a chance to see the cards, player 1 drafts a card. Then player 2 drafts, and so on around the table. After player 8-the person to the right of the player who opened the pack-has drafted a card, player 8 drafts a second card and drafting continues back to the right until all the cards have been drafted. (Since there are only fifteen cards in a booster pack, you won’t get a second card from a pack you open.) Player 2 opens the next pack, and so player 1 gets the eigth and ninth picks from that pack. This process is repeated until everyone at the table has opened one booster pack. Then player 8 opens a second pack, but drafting starts to the right. Player 7 opens a pack, and so on. Player 1 is the first to open his or her third pack, and drafting starts to the left for the rest of the packs.[/quote] The Only Difference in Cube is that The Cube is the number of cards in each "pack"...but otherwise...it is the same EVERYWHERE...

If you draft GBs, you will near guaranteed start by drafting one of the GB monsters, probably a good one like Laquari or Hoplomus (which is good in cubes). If your play is disrupted, you have another 50 or so cards to choose. If it isn't, have fun with a good GB deck. And it's a pretty equal chance of it being disrupted or not.

byak Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Even with a large pool of GB they're just not good cuz different players grab the different key GBs and the toolbox loses a ton of efficiency and diversity.

Zeal Ascendant Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hmm... interesting. I've always liked drafts in MTG, and this seems like a pretty good draft format. How would you do this over the internet, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welche the crab Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Everyone gets on a group MSN convo and each player picks a card and the other people cross it off their lists which are on word or something. It would take a while but itcould work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
