Legacy Cube Draft #1

Wizards introduced a new online format a while back called "Phantom" events. These events accept a second virtual currency, phantom points, or regular event tickets, but the prize payout is in phantom tickets and you don't get to keep the digital objects you draft. It is a way to play events for the fun of playing without necessarily incurring the high cost of drafting at retail price and selling the rares after the fact, which is right up my ally.

Wizards generously added a large allotment of phantom points to all active accounts over the summer in a "Please test out the version 4 client" move. I didn't use mine then, so this event (and a few more) will be on the house, which makes me feel better about using the v4 client and losing to clock because of the interface.

For more info on the Legacy Cube, read here, or check out the full card list here. There are plenty of oldies and goodies in this, what amounts to a Greatest Hits draft. The major difference is that only Legacy-legal cards are in, which means no Power Nine. And with that preamble out of the way, let's dive into a Swiss Legacy Cube event with the pick-by-pick replay.
