At A Glance
- Players: Any
- Setup Overhead: Severe
- Minutes: 20
- Core Concept: Repeatedly generating packs from a cube list ignoring singleton restriction leading to broken decks of absurdity. (The actual drafting is fast but time to gather or create proxies can be lengthy)
Setup Requirements
Supreme Draft requires a lot of cards and is typically not an in paper format. It will frequently even eschew the singleton requirement by creating packs of completely random cards from the cube for each new pack without caring if any given card has already been drafted. The easiest way to do this in person is to have lots of copies of frequently desired effects and the ability to rapidly print or create proxies.
- Gather copies of the most frequently used cards for this format from your cube list (The Power 9, Hullbreacher, Force of Will, Vampiric Tutor etc.).
- Upload your list to Cube Cobra.
How To Draft
Supreme Draft is a format focused on building the most powerful deck imaginable from a large pool of cards. It’s less of a competitive draft and more of display of what’s possible in MTG. (Magic The Gathering Online or MTGO does a Vintage Cube Supreme draft every now and again and leads to decks with multiple pieces of power and crazy turn 1 combos.)
- Navigate to your cube url and use the Sample Pack page (https://cubecobra.com/cube/samplepack/YOUR-CUBE-ID).
- Select two cards from that pack to add to your pool marking them down or grabbing the copies/proxies of them.
- Load a new pack using the New Pack Button
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you’ve seen 18 packs
Print or create any proxies that you need to and you should have a pool of 36 cards and basic lands from which to build a deck. (With a fresh pack every two picks there should be very few if any cards that don’t make the cut)
