Cloned from Unpowered Cube

Overview

This is my unpowered vintage cube. It's a fairly standard high-power cube. What makes it a little unusual is that the central design philosophy demands that power requires synergy. High power and universally desired cards like Power 9 and other fast mana would be automatic first picks which decreases the interestingness of drafts. The most powerful cards, such as Tolarian Academy and Channel, have demanding deckbuilding requirements which make for more interesting drafts and games. Conversely, niche cards that are only useful in specific archetypes should be some of the most powerful cards in those archetypes in order to not fill draft packs with useless chaff.

Game Rules
  • Companion rules are played as-printed.
Design Notes
  • I break singleton for double fetches for better manabases.
  • I don't include double-sided cards because they're challenging for players who don't know the backs and because they wear faster.
