NOBS Cube 1 Results and NOBs Cube 2 Signup

Top place was tied three ways on 15 points. Andy took it down having beaten Paul and myself. Paul took second from his victory to me. Charlie took 4th. Russ, Ross, Amar and Kieran also ran! Tom did not.

Drafting the cube was awesome fun and I'm keen to do it again next week if everyone else is.

I suggest that when Return to Ravnica draft kicks in we crown an M13 NOBs champion who will take home the inaugural (and fictional) Foil Door to Nothingness trophy!

Assuming next week is our last draft in the M13 window, we have a two horse race on our hands!

1   Ben   36
2   Ross   34
3   Kieran   22
4   Charlie   21
5   Andrew   20
6   Levi   19
7   Russ   19
8   Nathan   14
9   Maor   10
10   Simon   8
11   Rebecca   8
12   Paul   8
13   Ray   4
14   Dan Waine   4
15   Dan Royde   3
16   Amar   3
17   Marek   2
18   Phil   1
19   Allan   1
20   Joe   1
21   Mills   1

As an aside Russ made a very good suggestion this week. Given round robin has notoriously high variance, how about allowing one free mulligan for 0,1,6 and 7 land hands?

Next week:

1. Ross

2. Kieran

3. Ben

4. Amar

5. Louis

6. Charlie

7. Paul

8. Russ

I think one free mulligan with no restrictions is a bit too good. If Storm Combo is in the cube (not sure it is) it would be way too good - but it does make any decks that draft "key pieces" like Survival, Rec Nightmare etc. incredibly better... adding the restrictions makes a big difference I think ;)
