CUBE INVITATIONAL FINALS- Solomon draft

Hi all! Here's the picks from the finals, Solomon draft. This format works as follows: each player is assigned 45 random cards, from which they make their 1st pick. The remaining 88 cards are then shuffled together. Player A then reveals 4 cards to Player B, who picks one. Player A picks two cards, and the last card goes to Player B. They then swap roles and continue in this way until all the cards have been drafted.

This year's finalists were Paul Nonis, and serial runner-up Ian Pirouet, now in his 3rd consecutive final!

Here're their picks and decks.
