You play this Cube as you would play any other Cube.

How to draft What to draft
Before the draft starts:

- Choose how you wanna draft
- Plan on how much time the draft should take
- Setup a prize for the winner

During the draft:

- Use an app to generate the player pairings and run the tournament
- Make it a Swiss style best of three
- Set a time limit for the games

Cleanup step or after the draft:

- Make a staple of cards that you did not like or felt unfitting
- Separate land and non-land cards
- Shuffle the card piles
- Create staples with 2 lands each
- Add 13 random cards from non-land pack
- Put the cards back into the shell

If you are 2 players you can play a Winston draft:
