It's 1999. Damage is on the stack and unspent mana hurts you. We're back, baby!

Introduction

The design goal of this Cube is to evoke the feeling of Magic when I first started to play in 1999 and expanded my collection with booster product into 2000. The cards are bad, and I want it to feel like playing with a kid's random collection of cards. Lots of white border in here, including the land station.

In the spirit of 1999, all games are played with damage on the stack and mana burn. I did not design the Cube for this to matter much, but it will matter some.

Brewing Rules

This Cube is unsleeved and only contains cards from the 1999 starter product, 6th edition, Masques block, and 7th edition.

Drafting the Cube

This bar cube is for quick drafting with 2-4 players and uses pack structure different from what you may be familiar with.

• 4 player draft: 5 packs of 9
• 2 player draft: 8 packs of 7
• Alternate 2 player draft: Housman Draft using 9 packs and hands of 5.

We have been experimenting with smaller, more numerous packs and find that it better replicates a bigger draft pod. 7 packs of 7 for a group of 4 may also be viable based on your preference.

Archetypes

This Cube doesn't really do that :)
