This is the Companion Cube.
It began its life in a shoebox, filled exclusively with cards I opened at draft//sealed//traded for.

At present, it is a mostly-Legacy legal cube meant for drafting with up to 7 friends.

The 10 Ikoria Companions are the loudest cycles in the list. At present, I would say G/W and R/W are the most difficult to companion in the base color pairs, and G/U is at something of a tempo disadvantage if companioning Keruga.
Otherwise, there are general archetypes to pursue.
Mono color aims include aggressively slanted colors in the Naya, Graveyard shenanigans centered in black, control in Esper/Grixis. green ramps unsurprisingly well.

There are no game-ending two-card combos at present, some cuts have been made to the top and bottom ends of the power level for gameplay and structure reasons.

Archetype frames (8/9/24)
UB: Gyruda (Evens- control/graveyard)
UR: Lutri spells/tempo
UG: Keruga, the lovable big fren (3+ ramp)
UW: Yorion blinx
BW: Lurrus (3> cmc, graveyards)
BG: Umori (minor in food, major in creatures)
BR: Obosh the Odd Rakggro
RW: Zirda the fox- aggro
GW: Kaheera the orphaned archetype
RG: GRUUL SMASH

Mono Red : Burn/Sligh
Mono White : variable
Mono Green: 5c Green, ramp
Mono black : graveyard shenanigans
Mono blue : draw-go control.

This is not exhaustive. Please consult the list for changes. Have a great day, you beautiful people!

All over the place!
The power level has been upped across the board-
White has added powerful removal pieces like balance and palace jailer; red has a sneak attack/breach dimension, beyond the many above rate creatures and efficient burn spells; green has added channel and vaultborn tyrant, black picked up animate dead; blue added flash and tinker.

The companions remain, but the multicolor cards are not so strictly focused. E.G scarab god is not an even for gyruda decks.
Some storm cards have been added - empty the warrens, crow storm, mana flare, frantic search, helm of awakening, how to keep an izzet mage busy, … - in the hope that I get to see someone storm off at some point.

Top tier P1P1 stuff includes:
Demonic Tutor, Flash, Tinker, Balance, Swords, Palace Jailer, Animate Dead, Channel, Oko, Sneak Attack, Lutri, Lurrus, Vaultborn Tyrant.
