As said previously, sadly I can't come, but if anyone does want to make the effort to write it up, I am sure I can get the article featured somewhere good to help out :)

Dan I'm hoping to have some epic footage after the event:

1] 2x 'drafter' videos

2] Winston 'Finals' draft

3] Semi-finals and finals matches

4] Player interviews

Should make for a sweet feature!

Warren - I look forward to seeing the pics and extensive video coverage!

[James Mills]

Yeah it was really good fun. Looking forward to the next one. 

[Dan Barrett]

Warren, shout me when you have the videos up and I'll get watching and do something with them.

 

Hope to get a slot in the next one!

[Louis Mackie]

Yeah, it was a ton of fun! I kinda screwed up my Winston draft, but I'm pretty sure there's a rediculous Winter Orb control deck draftable.

[Dan Barrett]

P sure winter orb is an aggro card

[Louis Mackie]

It is, but I'm sure you can play artifact mana, Planeswalkers and some cheap defensive dudes and lock the game up. Imagine Jace TMS with a Winter Orb in play, or an Ajani Vengeant. Not to mention running something like Sword of Feast and Famine.

I enjoyed it even though I scrubbed out in the draft after building my deck completely wrong. Hopefully there will be more cube events in the future.

Yo Warren do you know when the video's for this will be up?
