• A "cube" is simply a set of cards that have been curated to create a fun drafting experience. The cube we'll be using is here and here.
• A "cube draft" is an event in which players pass around random "packs" of 15 cards from the cube, taking one card each, and passing around new packs when those packs run out, until everyone has drafted 60 cards. Once the drafting is complete, each player can add cards from their "starter set" to what they drafted in order to come up with a Runner deck and a Corp deck, both of which are 40 cards minimum, regardless of the limit of any ID you may have drafted.
• Each deck has unlimited influence, and agenda faction is ignored. (Reminder - 40-44 Corp cards: 18-19 agenda points)
• The "starter set" is: 1x Jackson Howard, and an unlimited number of Priority Requisitions.

How do I cube in this event?

• Register for this event
• Be in the Austin City Grid Discord sometime between when registration starts and the tournament starts.
• If there are more than 8 players, we will draft in pods, which just means that even groups will be formed, and those groups will both draft concurrently from a separate instance of the cube. However, the pods will not be paired separately for their matches.
• The draft itself will take place in meteor.stimhack.com, in two sessions - one for Runner, then one for Corp. You will need a Meteor account, but you can sign in with a gmail account. Our goal is to have both sides drafted within two hours.
• When your pod is finished, hop back in general voice, paste/construct your deck in jinteki.net, and prepare for three Swiss rounds, playing the decks you just built!
• Pairings will be managed through Cobr.ai. Player on the left side of the pairing will Corp first and host the game in the competitive lobby.

Ok, but how do I WIN this event?

No one knows for sure. Doing the following will help:

• Take econ so you don't have to click for credits all game.
• Draft agendas so you don't have to play 6 Priority Requisitions. Have you read that card? Yeesh.
• Ice with "end the run" subroutines are pretty good for scoring agendas, try to pick some up.
• Take icebreakers so that you can break those "end the run" subroutines.
• If you see a lot of cards that go in the same kind of deck, maybe you should be building that deck! (example: asset spam, tagme)
