If you remember I wrote some thoughts on creating a cube for drafting in Dice Masters. Since then I created two cubes.

The first being a mashup of four draft packs I bought. Which will need some tweaking. It was fun to play. But it can be improved.

However I have created a second cube.

The cards for this cube were from the following two sets that I have.

I also just chose common cards from those two sets. Making this a Marvel pauper cube.

From those common cards I tried to make sure that only a small number were factionless, and that there were a variety of factions. So we have Villians, X-Men, Avengers, and Fantastic Four as our factions.

Here are the cards for this Marvel Pauper Cube:

• Cyclops:Slim

Remember: This is a 48 card cube that should support up to 4 players.

So how did it play?

I thought it worked just as well as using two draft packs.

These are the two teams that we drafted.

Dave’s Team

• Nova: Quasar
• Phoenix:Ms. Psyche
• Pyro:Saint-John Allerdyce
• Cyclops:Slim
• Rogue: Anna Raven
• Magik:Illyana Rasputina
• Gambit:Ace in the Hole
• Mr. Fantastic

Basic Actions

• Gearing Up
• Smash!

My Team

• Falcon:Samuel Wilson
• Nick Fury:Mr. Anger
• Black Widow:Natural
• Hawkeye:Longbow
• Iron Man:Upright
• Punisher:McRook
• Spider-Man:Hero for Hire
• Red Hulk:Thunderbolt Ross

Basic Actions

• Focus Power
• Selective Shield

From the draft we built teams that had some synergy and despite Dave dominating me with two wins to my one. They were fun games.

They were also three games where we both bought basic action dice. More so than any other games we’ve played in the past.

I want to see how this goes with four or three players.

I also had an idea to come up with a Dice Masters version of the Epic the Card Game Dark Draft format.

It’s a draft format that works really well for two players. But I’ll write more about it and how it might work in another post. I need to sleep on it and get it right in my head first before sharing.

Laters.
