Rules which deviate from the original EDH rules:

You will be drafting a 60 card deck using three packs of 20 cards. Each pack is planted two legendary creatures/backround to make sure that every player can have commander.

All mono color legendary creatures have 'partner' ability. All partners also works with 'backrounds".

Hybrid mana cards count as an “or” when played in your deck. (So a card like Mistmeadow Vanisher that has a w-u hybrid mana cost, and no activated abilities, can be treated as either a white card or a blue card.) As your commander, hybrid mana cards are treated as “and” cards. (So a w-r hybrid legendary, as your commander, would have two color identities.)

Friendly mulligan. Your first draw is to 7, second draw is to 7, third is to 6, fourth is to 6, etc. If you start with fewer than 7 cards, you get to scry 1. In multiplayer games, starting player draws a card. In single player games, staring player skips their first draw step.

After draft all players can add Arcane Signet, Command Tower and Fable Passage in their decks if they want. These cards are not included in draft. Helps fix mana a little bit.

Main strategies of color combinations:

w-u - Fliers, blink,
u-b - Fairies, rats, graveyard
r-b - Deal damage, sacrifice, knights
r-g - Going big, +1/+1 counters
w-g - Tokens, +1/+1 counters
w-b - Knigths, lifegain
u-r - Spellsling, prowess, otters
b-g - Food, lifegain, graveyard,
r-w - Aggro, equipment,
g-u - +1/+1 counters, blink,

What mechanics you will find from this cube:

ON AN ADVENTURE: What would be Fairytale Cube without fairytales? These are good utility spells like Brazen Borrower, 'cause they include both instant/sorcery side and permanent side. So these fit in many strategies. Example Chulane, Teller of Tales can bounce adventure creature back to your hand when you have option to play instant/sorcery side again.

FOOD: Well, all that adventuring makes you hungry so sit down and eat well! I know Cauldron Familiar will or is it the Witch's Oven? Remember lifegain payoffs, like Witch of the Moors.

TRIBALS: In this cube you will meet all kind of folks, from tiny mice to enourmous but rare elder dragons! But these tribes are most supported so keep eye on these:

u-b Fairies
b,r,u Rats
b,r,w Knights
b-g Squirrels
