Cube Draft Idea
I am excited to see that cube draft is back on Arena, but I do feel that you guys may be missing an opportunity to make the game more enjoyable to your target audience. Keeping the draft format phantom is perfectly fine, but it would be nice to see the entry fee to be lowered. I understand you do not want to make the draft a way for people to “farm gold,” but you can lowerinf the buy-in to $500 would be nice. Then you can adjust the prize payout as followed: 750, 650, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, and 0. Players would have the opportunity to enjoy the drafting format, but it would not provide them with an advantage over other players as their only payout is gold. You could maybe throw in a random common/uncommon at 6 wins and a random rare/mythic at 7 wins to add a little bit more, but this type of prize payout would not allow for rapid collection building. Setting up a rotation of the cube draft would be a cool idea as well. A different theme every couple of weeks to a month could help break up the monotony of the game. I just wanted to at least provide some feedback as this could help bring a new twist to the game.
