I have a new-player focused cube so I tend to run Grid drafts/rochester so that drafters can ask questions about cards before drafting them. A nice benefit is you can increase the number of packs included to make the draft more forgiving, or reduce them as folks become more skilled.
My friend and I tried Winston a few times but found it takes a while to do. We now do a variant where we both draw a hand of 6, pick 2, swap hands, pick another 2, discard the remainder, repeat until whole deck has been drafted. It's really fast while having a hidden information element as neither of us know what the other picked from the original 6, and only an idea of what will be kept after passing the 4. Grid looks super interesting though, I'll suggest giving that a try next time!
This sounds great, love the faster drafting XP before getting into games. I have a bunch of quick reference cards to go in the cube and I'm going to call this the Triceratop Draft 😊
28 seconds in you mention including videos in the description about playing Cube, but they aren't there 😱 Please update so I can learn more! Edit: Having now finished the video, I do see you embed two video links at the end. I'm looking forward to trying out Grid draft soon. Thank you for the neat video!
I personally do Winston draft, and have about 25 different boxed Winston drafts of different sets/blocks (I call them "cubelets").
do you have any lists by chance?

These are cool. I’ll have to try them out!

I appreciate the heads up, I meant to include them. Thanks for watching!
