[MTG] Chris' 1v1 Grid Draft Cube


Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is the right section for this (not sure if it belongs in here or in Other TCG since it's technically not a deck). Neither section is too active either way.

Rules for grid draft are as follows:

• Start with 18 packs of 9 cards.
• For each pack, lay it out in a 3x3 grid face up (just lay them out in order, don't look at the cards and decide where each one should go).
• The first player takes a row or column.
• The second player takes a remaining row or column. Discard the undrafted cards (which will be 3 or 4 cards per pack).
• Alternate who goes first each pack.

There is an article on the format, here: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/cube-design-grid-drafting-and-more/

This cube could also be used for 4 player drafts (although those tend to suck), and 81 card sealed between two players (regular sealed would have 84 non-basic land cards).


Everything is by order of converted mana cost in their own respective categories. Moltensteel Dragon will be considered CMC 4 for obvious reasons.
