First paper draft in a while, with a single 4-player pod. We only played a total of two matches, but they were very long, comparable to multiple EDH matches.

The draft went slightly faster than expected, probably because of how much more streamlined the Unfinity cards are.

P1 (Me): B/G Dice Roll Tribal, featuring If Luck Would Have It and Krark's Other Thumb.

P2: U/W/R Goodstuff, plenty of powerful board creatures like Rick, Steadfast Leader and Katerina of Myra's Marvels. The crux of the deck was Form of the Approach of the Second Sun and Starfield of Nyx, more on that later.

P3: 4c Midrange, lots of good cards including Rare-B-Gone which is absolutely devastating in a pod, A Good Thing and Hangman.

P4: R/G Aggro, very effective deck with cards like Spelling Bee and Unicycle.

Game 1: This one was a heck of a game, I got knocked out relatively early and the other players were stuck in a standstill for a bit. The winning combo of the game was very tricky. Since you can continuously loop Form of the Approach of the Second Sun using Starfield of Nyx, you can return it at upkeep to put yourself in your library, draw a card, then choose to fail the physical component. This thins your deck until you get to zero cards in library. Then, at your next upkeep, you return the enchantment to play with Starfield, which puts yourself as the top card of the library. You then draw yourself to win, creating a psuedo-Oracle of Thassa effect. P3 died to their own copy of A Good Thing at 1696 life.

Game 2: This was pretty grindy, a lot of back and forth. Notable incidents were everyone teaming up to try and get Hangman off the field, and many many many coin flips using the Mana Screw ability of Everythingamajig. Ultimately Spelling Bee was able to get the win. I was able to assemble a pretty neat pair of Steel Squirrel and Lobe Lobber to both ping and pump the creature to swing in with the bonus P/T.

A few observations, both Now I Know My ABC's was drafted, but the player didn't realize that it was an instant-win with _____ choosing to name your creature "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".

Another strange interaction, B.O.B. (Bevy of Beebles) was in play, and a player cast It Came from Planet Glurg using it to copy two Beeble tokens. This made a creature that was simultaneously 1 creature, but counted as 2 Beebles for the purposes of B.O.B.'s loyalty.

I don't think any changes are needed at this time to the cube, it feels like its in a good place. I am a bit worried about the state of Black, since its going for a combination of "Big Mana" and "Reanimator", but further tests will be needed.
