“As I died, I rejoiced. I would see my family again. But then I woke up back on the battlefield. Back in Kamigawa. Back in hell.”
—Kenzo the Hardhearted
This cube is designed to be a more powerful and balanced experience based on the themes of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. This isn't a set cube, instead added cards are predominantly from the original set, but including cards that support the themes of the cube.
We usually play this cube in a small pod of 2-4 players. Grid draft for 2 players and 5 packs of 9 for 4 players. However, this cube would work for a regular 8 player draft.
Design GoalsBalance - No dominant strategies or bombs that runaway with the game (I'm looking at you Fable of the Mirror-Breaker). Meanwhile the power level of the cube is a little higher than a standard retail draft set.
Kamigawa Flavour - The cube will try to keep the original flavour of the Kamigawa plane, however synergistic cards from other sets show up.
Archetypes - Most Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty draft archetypes are maintained while tweaks have to be made due to the shift to singleton.
Interactive - No goldfishing your opponents, decision based resource use, complex sequencing.
Singleton - No duplicates of any card, except for the life-gain dual lands.
