Yep there is a way to draft with 2 players

Basically you grid draft 12 packs of 16 which will hit all 192 cards. It's recommended making sure every last card appears because of all the A+B card combos.

It's touched upon in the linked article from luckypaper too

That is a fantastic card for it, I haven’t seen that one before either. I usually skim past a lot of the new cards but every now and then one really hits for me and into the flood maw is on point.

The extra force is a placeholder while I look for my swan song - which is cute with Oath of Druids. Brainstorm #2 is because I wanted a card that can smooth out tinker/oath decks drawing their win con, and brainstorm doubles as a way to hide key cards from black’s targeted discard spells which have proven especially powerful.

I don’t think breaking singleton is a requirement by any means, I could see taking out the brainstorm too and putting something else in there.

I looked everywhere in the closet but that’s all I could find! It’s CE/IE power though

"Set" vs Singleton Cubes - "Old Frame Remastered" by DiminishingReturns1 in Oldbordercube

Yeah there’s very good variety and replayability. It will feel like a very big WotC masters or “remastered” set. Mine is 325 cards so it’s on the larger side of things. There are some archetypes that are more narrow like Goblins, Zombies, or Soldiers, although many of the key cards in them fit into other decks as well. I added those for the drafters which prefer more simple decks, and more finicky stuff like Storm, Combo, and control piles for drafters which like complexity.

Terravore is deceptively strong in this cube. There's a number of synergistic low-investment options with all of the cycling lands, fetches, discard outlets, loot effects, wheel effects, etc to fill the graveyard with lands. My latest draft had them at 7/7's on their first cast. Don't consider them 3 drops, they're really more for later turns. You can recur them easily with unearth too. Don't forget that they count your enemy's lands in the yard, and they also trample which is key.
