The cube was heavy with creatures with enter the battlefield effects that trumped plain old creatures. Time after time, Seth with go Grixis and I would be destroyed. Eventually we started to run Winston Draft with the cube and I won a lot at first, at least until Seth solved the format: Grixis. Seth and I met at a Worldwake Prerelease and started drafting regularly. Have you heard of the Stupid Green Deck? If so, thank Seth.
THE LOOTER PROBLEM LSV PRO
He’s been playing Magic for a long time, and had a pretty successful pro career. Seth is, and I mean this as affectionately as possible, a dinosaur (It’s okay I’m one too). But we didn’t care as we were having fun. The cube was loose over 400 cards and mostly filled with my favorites, and not necessarily the best ones available. I decided to make a pauper cube to help teach the basics of drafting.

The problem was that no one was good at drafting. About a year after this, I found a local game store. The cube was loosely based on tribal synergy and multicolor. I started reading about cubes and roundabout ways to cube draft online (Create a list with every card assigned a random number and then draft in text via PMs …kludge-tastic), until PDC Magic created Draftling. Pauper is my competitive outlet that does not break my bank account. I got started during my Junior year of college, back when pauper was just a player run format, and have been slinging commons online ever since. My name is Alex (also known as on Twitter and SpikeBoyM on Magic Online), and I play pauper. This story begins a lot longer ago than I would like to admit.įirst, here’s a brief history of me.
