The quality of MODO cube draft has gone up immensely over the years, it was like taking candy from a baby the first time they ran it out. You get good games now. I was hoping to see some of this improvement borne out in the stats but as I don't know how bad the stats looked a few years back I can't really comment, they just didn't look quite as on point as I had expected given the amount of improvement I had seen in the drafting, playing and building of MODO cube decks. Lets just hope that when I revisit this topic in a few years time there will be some measurable improvement to backup my observed improvement in the community. <br /><br />I also think that for the most part people cube in rather particular ways. Either you are casual and you cube a lot or you are a serious player and you use cube as a way to relax and break up the testing. Very few people play cube exclusively in a non-casual manner like myself. I have done so much of all the types of cube that making a 2/1 on turn one is just as exciting as flopping out a Black Lotus. My objective is finding the best ways to cube while for most people they just want to have fun and do the things they can't do in standard or limited. My idea of fun is finding and refining the optimum archetypes for the cube meta. Other people enjoy making a speedy 11/11 or drawing vast numbers of cards. It is this different objective towards playing the cube that makes me so surprised at the stats, I have an unusual perspective. Fun is a subjective thing, I encourage people to cube for fun but I can't really advise on what will be fun for other people so I will just stick to advising people on how to improve their win% in cube!

It just seems that the skill of Tutor drafters is average to mediocre. But I think you would be disappointed by MTGO statistics, because I saw Strip mine will so many times. People unduly thinks that this seems to think it is only playable in a specific deck with land recursion.Khazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631412576347355684noreply@blogger.com
