adding cube building and drafting with friends?

[joesephjOSEPH]

is this a possible thing they could add to the game?

it would be awesome to make a cube out of my arena collection and drafting it with a pool of friends. It would also be cool if you could set up a friends only draft if you had the right amount of players.

There are occasions when they introduce a cube for us to play but since it is necessarily phantom the events always seem overcosted and poorly supported prize wise to bother with. I don't think they have the tools to give us the ability to build our own cube much let other people play with it. That would be a very major expansion of the game.

As for drafting with friends, I am certain they could allow that but have chosen not to. I expect there is a low profitability factor involved.

How would you monetize this? Real question. Wizards isnt a charity. WHen they do cube drafts they make a fortune off us.

like commander cube is a format the encourages players to collect a whole bunch of different cards to build a deck. a cube is like 360 or something. thats the monetization i guess cubes are the biggest pool of cards you can construct and play with.

there are many layers to why cube is good for both the player and wotc.
