This is an extra small cube built with a few objectives.

It is built with the purpose of introducing newer players to MTG and cube. First, it is a small cube of 200 cards. It is designed to be drafted by 4 players, drafting 5 packs of 10 cards each.

To introduce new players to the archetypes, the cube is made to be broken into five pre-constructed 60 card decks. The tags in the cube show how to divide the cards, with about 36 non-land and 4 non-basic land cards for each deck, and 20 basic lands to be filled in.

Each of these pre-constructed deck is three-color. The archetype for each deck is carefully chosen, so that they feel different enough, but contain many cards that would fit in other decks. Once the decks are shuffled into the cube, drafters have many options to mix-and-match, or borrow-and-steal cards from other precons to draft how they want.

Each of the five archetypes can be drafted as the intended three-color, but can also be drafted as just a pair. Here are the archetypes:

This was my first the first archetype I chose for my cube. or aristocrats are two of my favorite archetypes to use across cubes.

focuses on creatures that want to be sacrificed and payoffs that want you to sacrifice other creatures.

offers aggressive benefits for sacrificing both creatures and treasures.

When you need things to sacrifice, a good option is cheap creature tokens. Naya Tokens is a theme inspired by the Cabaretti of New Capenna.

focuses on making more and more tokens. The wider the better.

makes an aggressive army, usually with goblins.

Elementals have always been my favorite tribe, and Core Set 2020 featured the creature type in this wedge.

focuses most squarely on elementals, featuring payoffs for playing them.

supplements elementals with strong instants and sorceries.

I'm not sure if I've seen any sets feature a Sultai wedge theme around +1/+1 counters. I've seen counters and counters certainly, and it was an easy theme to overlap with elementals, and my last archetype below.

comes straight out of Ravnica and ramps for big creatures.

can remove obstacles from the field to get in large creatures on the attack.

Esper ETB (or blink or flicker) was featured in Double Masters 2022. I love blink, and have built it in and before. Fun to feature it here in a new triple.

is the classic blink color pair.

adds returning cards from the graveyard to the battlefield for ETB benefit.

Drafters might draft color pairs, or just splash a third color from one of the four triples above. The cards work enough in multiple archetypes, that the user doesn't have to draft on rails to try to fill out the same 3-color deck each time.
