Nostalgia Cube, Primal Plasma counts as a Griffin.
Tap to bring the good old, bad old days of Duelist-style errata into the present era.

This cube attempts to recreate the feel of a booster draft from earlier in Magic's history, but with no Circles of Protection. It is intentionally low-powered and complicated to remind us of the challenge we faced as new players still learning the game. Most of the cards are commons and uncommons, with a few bombs to mimic the rarity distribution of real packs. Older cards remain relevant, although some newer cards with enemy color pair and graveyard themes have been added. Tribal themes are avoided for clarity.

Important Rules Notice:

  • Damage goes on the stack
  • Mana burn exists
  • Graveyard order matters
  • Kamigawa-era Legend Rule
  • Tokens are owned by the player whose control they came into play under
  • Tapped blockers deal damage
  • Interrupts count as Instants
  • Continuous Artifacts turn off when tapped (Artifact Creatures and Equipment are not Continuous Artifacts)
  • 'Successfully Cast' is different from 'Cast'
  • Dark Ritual can be countered
  • Mulligan Rule: You can mulligan any starting hand regardless of land content without revealing it to the opponent. 1 free mull, then draw one fewer card each time.

Most development was being done on Cube Tutor, but I have put together a paper version of this cube as well (sleeved in Timeshifted Purple!) and it is awesome. Feedback and comments welcome. Have fun drafting!

Now on Cube Cobra as well!
