Primary Cube: Peasant
Got the mythical 8 person #MTGCube draft last night.
Drafted an Unpowered Midrange-y value cube and wound up GR splash Omnath.
Deck definitely could have used another instant speed removal spell. Died to Mother + Giver + Jitte.

3-1, lost last round of the Lorwyn prerelease at the local shop last night.
Deck felt fine; I got to do double Man-o'-War + Kirol loops, but I lacked an obvious bomb to go over the top with and felt forced into being solidly 3 color despite minimal fixing because of a need to play double red.

More #MTGCube nights.
Medium power older stuff list again with the locals.
Hostage Taker'd a Cloudgoat Ranger; they got it back via O Ring. Then when I went to kill the Goat again a turn later they had drawn Ephemerate and I just drowned in tokens.

#MTGCube Vertex Sunday Evening Draft
2-1 Strategic Inevitability
Drafted Brendan's low combos cube again and tried to see if I could make a hatebears style deck happen.
Turns out Zur's Weirding is a house when your opponent misses their third land drop.

I was 9th seed at the end of rounds, but one of the top 8 couldn't reschedule a flight so I snuck in.
Was very fortunate that top 8 was a cube I can handle, I'm terrible at those high power vintage-y cubes.
Took down the tournament with RB Aggro.

#MTGCube Vertex Sunday Main Event Draft #4
2-0-1 The Wetlands
Loved this cube. I opened Hallowed Burial and got Day of Judgment P4, but wasn't really finding anything too spicy for a while so I left open some options. Got a lot of sweet things late pack 3 as a result.

#MTGCube Vertex Saturday (Side) Event Draft #3
1-2 Bolt Cube
I did not really understand this draft. I assumed it was going to be a slow format where just have versatile answers was good, but there were enough single-card hand checks that kind of invalidated that.

2-1 Jason's Lightweight Cube
Started Red, but was seeing so much removal going late that Green looked more enticing.

Lost finals to UWB Control.

Saturday Main Event Draft #1
2-1 The Space Between
My deck was very good at getting Eldrazi Conscription in play, but that alone isn't always enough. Wish I had had a better plan B.

Starting #MTGCube Vertex off with a draft of Strategic Inevitability. A bunch of weird/slow combos.
+ Sideboard.
We drafted 4x15 so we could see the whole cube in a 6-person pod.

We drafted 4x15 so we could see the whole cube in a 6-person pod.
And here are some end of year #MTGCube stats.
85 paper drafts from 43 different cubes.
Need to draft more blue decks apparently.
Not *too* surprised that my overall winrate is a bit low, we rarely (if ever) finish 3 rounds locally so I'm more likely to get a 1-1 than a 2-1.

Next up was 7 people for my Peasant-ish #MTGCube, with 5 of them being new to the cube.
I tried to avoid stepping on toes and drafted GW again.
There was distinct lack of Black and Red in the resulting decks, which is evident by the looks of everyone's sideboards where everyone could have.

Little Christmas Eve Eve #MTGCube night.
Did two 3-person Housman drafts.
First was a mid-power value cube. Went mono white splashing everything.
Second was the Kuleshov. I waffled a bit despite having Sovereigns + Conscription in the first 5 cards.
