Simple, small pauper cube designed to be drafted with 4 people or to play sealed with 2.

Color pair archetypes are loosely defined. While these are presented as a guideline, this isn't the only way to draft each color pair. Other synergies exist across colors, and this cube is designed to ensure that "good stuff" drafting is as viable as focusing on synergy. This cube has solid fixing, so playing >2 colors is very possible, but fixing is slow and best suited for slower decks. The UG Ramp archetype in particular has access to powerful fixing and can splash any colors it wants to.

Archetypes:
UW: Tempo/flyers
UB: Hard control
RB: Sacrifice
GR: Stompy aggro
GW: Buff (enchantment/equipment/counters) aggro
BW: Tokens sacrifice
UR: Spell-based tempo/control
GB: Graveyard value/reanimator
RW: Weenie aggro
UG: Ramp

Mechanics:
When drafting, instead of standard pack size it is recommended to draft 5 packs of 9 cards. This helps prevent seeing the same packs 3-4 times each in a small pod.
There is one conspiracy card (Cogwork Librarian) in the cube. It is important to warn new drafters that this card is in the cube and that they need to draft it face-up before the draft starts.
Tracking "choose a color" lands can be tricky in-game if players are on 3+ colors. It is recommended to provide players with a method to track these such as colored chips or sticky notes.

Minor update with some cards that have been sitting on my desk for a couple months. Chard Dragon was also swapped out for Skybox Ferry two weeks ago but didn't make it into an update. This update just replaces a few of the most unexciting cards in the cube with some good stuff. Equipment that are also creatures are rad. Adding Oversee back is risky, so I'll keep an eye on her just in case white is getting a little too much love. Hydra is actually an extremely fun card, but bestow as a mechanic is slightly weirder than I want in this cube.

o7 for Savannah Lions. You will be missed (by me, not by anyone drafting the cube). Jackal Pup had better watch its back.
