Cube Draft Masterclass pt1: Perfecting Pick 1 with F.O.C.U.S.

Draft a better mtg cube deck! This series’ first video establishes the fundamentals of my draft philosophy and offers a new pick order mnemonic. P1P1 the best card in the pack! Part One: This video!

You all have raised a number of great points that I’d like to address with a couple clarifications: 1. I made a mistake in leading into FOCUS via BREAD, because while BREAD styles itself a strict pick hierarchy, I want to offer FOCUS as a loosely hierarchized constellation of concerns. If you value Open cards over Fixing for instance, I think that’s fine -- what is important is that you rate those features highly. 2. An extension of the above is that, as I tried to insist in the video but may not have underscored well enough, Cheat is highly mobile, such as the best cheat is definitely top pick. I would not take an Underground Sea over a Mox Jet or a Mind Twist. 3. The scene that begins at 5:40 with Mind Twist in the background is not a pick order. I did not intend the layout of the cards to mean that I would perforce take Jace the Mind Sculptor over Demonic Tutor (I generally would not!), for example. I meant only to categorize different kinds of cheat, not to rank them.
