Opp didn't like when I kept playing

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

Won a 64-player cube last night. No white cards in the main deck, I promise I have range!

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

@IamActuallyLvL1 @argzax Very

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

lol what a loser

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

@argzax Lost anyways, my life is ruined

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

@argzax Damn surveillance state got me again

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

@argzax Who said I didn't take the deal?

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

When there are 4 pieces of power

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

@Ball_MTG Profound insight

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

Gonna stream cube for the first time in... a while? Anything I need to know?

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

Tendrils being cut from cube is probably the worst magic-related thing I have ever experienced

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

@ecobaronen Copter and Chandra both pretty good. White cards and echo also fine, everything else looking weak p1p1. Interested in chandra > copter with the intention of cutting red and trying to pick up hellrider + embercleave

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

Multi-queueing 64s is the best way to play magic

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

@NissenSteffen As Cooper proposed:
1) card/archetype preferences better suited against typical 2nd draft metas
2) more focused play in 2nd draft (to a greater degree than competitors)

I've now played over 100 64-player vintage cube events. Time for some stats!

101 Events
247 matches
21 top 8s
6 wins
61.5% WR

Specific round winrates with confidence intervals in the table below. Been feeling like the top 8s have been softer than the first drafts, variance or?

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

@CooperFrye Oh man TIL I *really* don't know stats. Totally forgot you could look at p-values when comparing distributions. Definitely think I focus in more (reduce the number of queues) which helps the gameplay, and I think the draft metas have been noticeably different

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

@matt_grenier Ah man didn't get a name (or don't remember)

[Thrilryder (Dwhite) @thrilryder]

#CubeCon 2023 was another amazing event. Reconnected with old friends, met many more! The highlight from the weekend was a post con draft of my 93/94 cube!

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

@rcsaxe What do you think are some under explored areas of ML in regards to applications to magic?

[Jackson Wagner @geekyjackson]

#cubecon was great! Biggest complaint is that it wasn't long enough. Can't wait for next year!
