Hello and welcome to my Playset Cube~!
This cube utilizes a special draft format I like to call 'Playset Draft', so please continue reading so you understand how to draft this cube!
Playset Draft is a format that functions much like regular draft, but with the following additional rules:
- At any point during the draft when you would draft a card, you may instead draft that card face up, announcing the name of the card as you do so. This card becomes your Playset Card. You may only draft one Playset Card per draft.
- During the deck construction phase of the draft, all players will be given four custom blank token cards to use in deck building. In all instances, these blank tokens are treated as normal copies of that players Playset Card.
- Your Playset Card is to remain face up at all times, during the draft and during game play, such that it is visible to all players.
- Your Playset Card is kept in the command zone during game play, from which it is uncastable. This is only to serve as a reminder to all players which card is your Playset Card.
- If a player has not drafted a Playset Card by the end of the draft, each of that player's first mulligans are free.
If drafting this cube against the bots, I recommend writing down the name of your Playset Card when you draft it (no cheating!) and using off-color basic lands to represent it in your deck.
Thank you for visiting my cube!
Many cubes strive to have no 'dead cards', meaning that every card will be at least playable in the vast majority of cases. In this cube, in this format, I am comfortable including niche or dead cards due to the players' ability to instantly draft three extra copies of a card once per draft. This means the players need to find far fewer playables. It also means I am able to enable things that require duplicates (such as Cloudpost) as well as more niche archetypes (such as Merfolk tribal) without dedicating a significant portion of the cube to supporting those decks. That's the theory, anyway.
