After a month off, the Online Limited Series returns in August with a Second Edition event known as the Mostly Honest Cube Draft. This event is mostly based on @Honest's draft format played as a side event at Worlds 2018. I've made some tweaks with the numbers and made my own version.

A "cube" is a curated selection of cards from across the history of the game that is meant to be drafted as if it were all one set. This one has been curated to feature six affiliations. Draft one affiliation if you like, change it up if the cards aren't going your way, or even run a dual-HQ if you so desire. (Note: gameplay rules are Standard, NOT Infinite Diversity; there is no "mercenary rule" or first turn ship download, etc.)

This event is limited to 12 players - in fact, if 12 players participate, all the cards in the cube will be drafted.

Each player will first receive a base set with a fixed 25 cards. These cards include all six featured headquarters, a ship and matching commander combination for each one, the Olarra, and six dilemmas. Full list is below.

Players will draft via email: one 9-card mission pack, two 15-card dilemma packs, and three 15-card draw packs. (This means the entire cube consists of 108 missions, 360 dilemmas, and 540 draw cards.)

I have a description of the breakdown of each cube below. Please note that despite adding cards to the cube by category, selections are still randomized! I did my best to weed out cards that are highly unplayable or require specific other cards in order to play them, but I didn't hand pick every card in the cube, so who knows what you'll get!

The normal stuff: Cards are drafted via email; you'll need to provide a valid email address upon registering. As this is an online event, Lackey is required to deckbuild and play, plus Skype or other preferred communication program. First packs will be mailed on or around August 3rd; first round pairings will occur whenever drafting is complete.

BUMP! This is the Mostly Honest HYPE POST!

The Mostly Honest Cube Draft is just two weeks away! And I'm back online, so I should have draft packs ready to go by the time we start.

This cube draft supports up to twelve players. There are six players registered and still six spots available!

Prize package is still TBD as my cards are not yet unpacked. But I'll come up with something good!

And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Just a couple days left to register.

I'm not planning on playing, but I'll jump in if needed to make it even.

Please make sure I have your email address - if you've never drafted in one of my events before, I don't have it!

First packs go out Tuesday night!

I haven't had too many passes get copied to me, but I've seen a couple, and it looks like things are going okay so far?

Please let me know if they aren't.

Can you just pass them onto @TReebel without looking at them?

Someone needs to inform @grandar he went the wrong way, but forwarding to Ted will speed things along.
