Hello everybody, and welcome to the second of three hour-long talks recorded on the Carnival Ecstasy a few weeks ago. Yes, even though most didn't get the chance to go that doesn't mean you can't take in the discussions had while at sea. In this almost hour-long discussion, I talk about Cube Drafting. What it is, how to do it correctly, what archetypes to look for and what traps to avoid. Enjoy!
I'm also here to announce the re-launch of cubedrafting.com! Feel free to visit, check out the new digs, and enjoy. The new site has the Shards of Alara Cube Additions, as well as forum for other cube players.
Special thanks to Legion Events, of course, for the cruise opportunity.
