No this is a Forum Event, so the draft is on the next weekend after we finish taking signups. We'll get people together on the first weekend that's workable

It is far from too late to sign up!

Saturday 3:00 PM PST is the floated time but if someone can't make that we will move it earlier/later/to sunday. It is a live draft done via the TTS platform, so don't worry about getting embroiled in any rotisserie draft style longhaul nonsense, 30 minutes on VoiP and you're all done

the games are played by arrangement with your opponents at a time of your choosing, just like in GG 8-mans

If anyone wants to play a really really silly cube, we've still got some spots left!
Do we have to play the games, or do we just argue about who's deck is best?

If you want to draft but not play games, I will play your games on your behalf and argue about who's deck is best!

Khaos you fucker the draft portion runs for like an hour at 2 PM mountain time and then the games are played by appointment. You can schedule things at your own discretion after you've drafted your deck!!

No mod downloads needed. You'll want to save your cardpool as an importable object, once you've finished drafting it

I cut Jeweled Amulet, The Protector and Rift since the guy who made this cube doesn't seem to realise they're total crap, and added Karakas, Gleemax and Blacker Lotus

Companion cards use the OLD companion rules. They are cast from exile, and are not subject to the tax of 3 colorless mana.

Since this cube features a variety of nonstandard cards including silver-border and playtest cards, here is a short list of rulings i compiled to help codify the effects and interactions of a few cards:
  • Unlimited snow-covered basics are available​
  • Unlimited basic Wastes are available​
  • You can only start the game with one vanguard as your vanguard. You may sideboard into a different vanguard card between games.​
  • Pot of Greed is a sorcery spell with a cost of zero colorless mana. What colour is it? Green, obviously.​
  • The preflipped Ixalan lands are considered to be single faced cards. They enter the battlefield as lands and don't ever transform.​
  • Hero cards are permanents with the Hero card type. They start the game on the battlefield (put them in play from your sideboard at the same time as you reveal conspiracy cards). They don't count as artifacts, enchantments or any other standard permanent type, but you can still target them with 'target permanent' effects. They got to other zones like any other card, rather than vanishing like a token. They don't have a mana cost and can't be played from your hand if returned there.​
  • The game is considered to be played for ante for the purposes of contract from below. Players are not required to ante a card at the beginning of each game, but at the end of each game, any cards in the ante zone become owned by the winner of that game (they are removed from the cardpool of the loser and added to the cardpool of the winner for the remainder of the tournament).
  • Impatient Iguana trumps Power Play when revealed
  • No I don't know what the fuck is up with 'Cup'
  • Blacker Lotus is removed from your deck for the duration of the match. If its removal causes you to go below the minimum deck size, you must add a card during sideboarding to make up the difference for the subsequent game. This removal from your cardpool does not persist across tournament rounds. You can start each round of the tournament with Blacker Lotus in your deck.
  • Buried Ogre is put into your graveyard from your sideboard, not your deck. It doesn't let you run 39 cards maindeck.
If other cards have unclear effects feel free to enquire. I believe the Mystery Booster cards like Time Sidewalk also have gatherer rulings in some cases.

You can reveal any number of conspiracy cards from your sideboard as the game begins.
