The Backbone of the Cube was designed to mimic what could happen in a real Time Spiral Remastered Limited environments (Draft or Sealed). The Timeshifted sheet has a higher asfan and there are less commons to account for all the extra cards due to the Timeshifted Sheet.
The 3/2/1/1/1 distribution allows each card to appear enough times per draft as you would expect in normal pacts. This cube has 765 cards.
This cube has a few extra cards to flesh out to cube to help get to the 765 card total. These extra cards were added to help support multicolor play.
Extra 13 CardsTerramorphic Expanse x 11 instead of 3
Calciform Pools x 3 instead of 3
Dreadship Reef x 3 instead of 2
Fungal Reaches x 3 instead of 2
Molten Slagheap x 3 instead of 2
Saltcrusted Steppe x 3 instead of 2
So you can draft the normal 3 packs per player and have a significant amount of chaff left in the "shoe" as to ensure each draft isn't the same each time you play the cube. Or you can power up your draft by drafting by adding additional packs (go to 4 or even 5) increasing the likelihood of more uncommons and rares/mythics make it into your deck, but remember you will also increase the likelihood of some of the very powerful commons in significant numbers are there too. And increases the time drafting takes.
Seeding Boosters PacksJust randomize the whole cube and build the packs. There is no special seeding required.
