A cube filled with cards that I think are cool, unique, and fun. Because I prefer the design philosophy and aesthetic of old Magic sets the cube is mostly in the old border. Archetypes are broadly split into color pairs but there is more thematic variation/overlap than in a modern standard release. Certain build-arounds and synergies will occasionally create oddball decks.

General Archetypes

Discard/Reanimation b

Ramp g

Aggro - gw
Relies on cheap, efficient creatures to run over your opponent. Keep up pressure with flashback spells and mana disruption.

Deadguy Ale - wb
Look to combine cheap white and black creatures with disruption to deny your opponents resources and get under greedy decks.

Wildfire Plus - wr
An archetype I'm quite proud of. Built on combining sweepers with resilient/protection-from-red creatures to control the board. Artifact ramp that can survive your board wipes is crucial.

Self-Mill - bg
A classic deck based around loading your graveyard with creatures. Reliant on getting value from your graveyard with cards like spider spawning to close out the game.
