Art by Anna Podedworna
The inspiration behind building this cube was wanting to play canlander all the time but not having friends with decks to play with to keep up with a diverse format. The cube is designed to replicate the environment of constructed canlander as closely as possible for endless ever changing canlander gameplay with build arounds and powerful additions in the points list draft.
How to draft
| 8 players | 4 packs of 16 (traditional draft) |
|---|---|
| 4 players | 5 packs of 14 (pick 2 cards per pick) |
| 3 players | 24 packs of 16 (grid draft) |
| 2 players | 24 packs of 9 (grid draft) |
| 2 players | 12 packs of 11 (pancake draft) |
After the initial draft, each player selects (up to) 10 points worth of unique cards from the points list
