Hi and welcome to the Synergy-EDH Cube.
Here we'll discuss how to enjoy this Commander Legends inspired draft to its fullest.

Quick Overview

How To Draft

• Draft three 20-card packs
• Draft two cards as first pick and for the rest of the pack you will draft one card as normal.
• Build a 60-card deck (including Commander(s)).
• Follow the color identity ruiles of the chosen commander(s).
• Each player will have access to The Prismatic Piper.
• All other commander rules apply (40 life, commander damage etc.)

Draft Guide

We'll talk about:

• How the EDH Cube actually works.
• The major archetypes.
• Pick order.

How do you draft a commander cube?

Even when you sit down to draft, you’ll notice some changes. The packs will be thicker than usual. Why’s that? Because they contain 20 cards each. Each player gets 3 packs per draft.

So with three 20-card packs, each player will draft 60 cards instead of the usual 45. Drafting that many cards in addition to playing 1 or even 2 Commander-like games, could take quite a while. depending how familair you are with the commander format and it's cardpool.

Also since, you get so many cards and to get at least some variety of the Commander format, your deck size is 60.

How do commanders work in de commander cube draft?

Commanders will work the same way as they do in the Commander format. Your Commander(s) will start in the Command Zone and all cards in your deck will have to follow your Commander’s color identity.

Since there’s a partner mechanic in this cube, you can have two commanders if they both have partner. Like these ones!

What if I didn’t Draft a Commander?
Although unlikely, it could still happen, each player wil have access The Prismatic Piper in their card pool.

Note, that The Prismatic Piper is a very WEAK card, so playing it should be your last resort and NOT something you’re actively looking to do!!!

What are the archetypes?

: Blink / Artifacts
: (Self) Mill / Reanimator
: Sacrifice / Artifacts
: Landfall / Ramp
: Tokens / +1/+1 Counters

: Aristocrats / Tokens
: Spell matters / Artifacts
: Graveyard matters
: Equipments / Agro
: Ramp / Simic things...

What to do when drafting?

1. Draft synergy
Above all else. If you get a commander or a archetypal card early in the draft and can draft around it, your deck is going to be a lot better.

2. Be flexible

3. Card advantage
Next, prioritize card draw/filter. The Monarch goes a long way in keeping the game rolling, but you want to find ways to keep digging down to your bombs later in the game.

4. Fix your mana
