Evan Erwin and I will be hosting open cube drafts beginning at six o’clock PM on Saturday evening at the Magic: The Gathering World Championships this weekend. We love cube drafting, and we also know that making a cube isn’t the easiest thing in the world so not everyone has had the opportunity to try it. I’ve played everywhere from kitchen tables to Pro Tours, and nothing else I have ever done in Magic has been nearly as much fun as the cube. If you’ve never cubed before, you owe it to yourself to cone find us and get in a draft.
Evan’s cube can support eight players at a time, and mine can support sixteen. Of course, the two of us can only support twenty-four total players and that’s not all that many. This is where all you other cube owners out there come in! We want to share the joy of cubing with as many people as possible, so we need your help. If you have a cube and you’ll be at worlds, we invite you to find us and host drafts with your own cube. We know of at least one cube other than ours that will be present, and we are hoping for even more.
If you don’t know what a cube is, you should check out…

Wizards is setting aside table space for this event, but we don’t know where that will be at this moment. There will be a public announcement at Worlds around six o’clock about where we are located, so listen for that and come find us. Feel free to contact Evan or me on the forums with any questions; my username is TomLaPille and Evan’s is misterorange. Listen for the announcement onsite, and together we’ll all show the world how awesome cube drafting is.

Convince Evan to switch to the dark side of the Cube: Legacy format (none of this P9 crap), more mana fixers, and more fun

Oddly enough, I have a decent amount of cards that are banned in Legacy (Balance, Demonic Tutor) and I have a smaller ratio of mana fixing to total cards (He has 410 total cards, I have 720). However, I still like my cube more!
Also, Evan doesn’t have the Ravnica bouncelands. This continues to mystify me.

[…] The January FNM promo will be Remand (and Force of Will will be a judge promo)! Try out some Cubing at Worlds 2007 if you are around. Also check out “Limited Infinity” or “Type Four”, […]

My team is bringing a Cube. I think my teammate mentioned that Evan Erwin is staying with us (pretty sure that’s who he said) so I’ll probably be drafting Cube for 96 hours straight.
