Rules:
- 3 20 Card packs per player
- 2 seeded commanders per pack (there are some non seeded commanders)
- 2 picks per turn
- Make 60 card decks
- Monocolored Legends (and all planeswalkers) can be your commander
- That one guy can use any mana as snow mana or whatever it's called
Breakdown:
- 10 2 color archetypes, each with two multicolored commanders and 3 chase cards
- UG +1/+1 counters
- UW ETB/blink
- WG tokens
- UB zombies
- RW Aggro/Combat
- BG graveyard
- UR storm
- WB lifegain
- BR Sacrifice and Steal
- RG Big Mana/ Lands
- 10 3 color commanders that match their overlapping archetypes
- 44 Monocolored cards per color, with at least 4 of them being possible commanders
- 30 Artifacts
- 50 lands (including 8 double sided lands that are also spells, which is why the card count per color is messed up)
Why You Should Play It:
- I spent an ungodly amount of time making this fucking thing pls god Ive barely gotten to use it
- but for real though a lot of care went into balancing the power levels of the cube, making sure the curve is at minimum playable, and that the archetypes and their interplay are interesting
- some of the cards are secret lair printings (oooooo, ahhhhhhh)
Looking to Replace all FLAGGED cards
I don't typically like real fetches outside of powered cubes because I tend to find that they warp draft picks around them. If you have surveil lands, shocks, triomes, and fetches in your non-powered cube suddenly fetchlands just become the only thing you start drafting out of a pack. When the mana is bad, but still consistent enough then you suddenly get a lot more tension "do I draft the fixing or the card that's good in my archetype" where a strong fetchland would make that choice trivial weaker fixing makes it a lot more easy to take the spell over the land.
Just something to think about, especially if you rock a landfall theme or have cards where shuffling matters in some way.
