Hi! Welcome to my Peasant Cube.

Design Goals:
  • Focused 2 Colour Archetypes
  • Cards that fill multiple functions and fit into multiple archetypes - providing good sideboard options and flexibility when deckbuilding.
  • Solid land-fixing.
  • Focus on synergy and flexible & interactive gameplay.
  • Encourage drafting fun build-around cards.
Archetypes:

wu: Flicker/Blink

ub: Mill-Control

br: Sacrificing Creatures/Artifacts.

rg: Stompy Aggro

gw: +1/+1 Counters

wb: Traditional Aristocrats

bg: Self-Mill/Graveyard Matters

gu: Draw-Go/Flash

ur: Instant & Sorceries Matter

rw: Tokens + Humans Subtheme

Notes:
  • Deliberate exclusion of cards with multiplayer-designed mechanics (Monarch, Initiative etc.)
  • Exclusion of most specialty set-specific mechanics, and card types to reduce mental load and complexity:
    • No Battles
    • No Ring Tempts You cards
    • No Planeswalkers.
    • No City's Blessing Cards
    • No Day Night/Cards
    • No Energy Cards
    • No Cases or Sagas
    • No Level Up or Class cards

Some other mechanics deliberately excluded for having a lot of text and things to track/remember, but I could consider changing my mind on:

  • Unearth
  • Plotting
  • Transforming cards (to avoid having to take cards out of sleeves, especially during the draft).
Some mechanics currently included:
  • Flashback (16 Cards)
  • Kicker (11 Cards)
  • Cycling (7 Cards)
  • Spree (5 Cards)
  • Adventure (5 Cards)
  • Evoke (4 Cards)
  • Channel (2 Cards)
  • Committing Crimes (3 Cards)
  • Rebound (1 Card)
  • Reinforce (1 card)
  • Boast (1 Card)
  • Escalate (1 Card)
  • Squad (1 Card)
  • Delirium (1 Card)
  • Devotion (1 Card)
Uncommons that are too strong:
- Victimize
- Grafted Wargear
- Skullclamp
- Meteor Blast
