Designed on a budget, this pioneer+ cube features classic cards from Innistrad forward.

After nearly a decade of curating my 360 Unpowered Cube, I wanted to return to a power level where cards like Whip of Erebos or Venerated Loxodon could thrive. Choosing Innistrad as my starting point - the block where my friends and I started playing Magic - I aimed to create an interactive and diverse format. With each new set, I will readily add, test, and cut cards.

Most of the 450 cards can be acquired for around or under $2. Lands are permitted to break this rule, within reason - for example, the Check Land cycle.

I recommend 30 of each land in your favorite art, six boxes of Dragon Shield Mattes, and the Dex Protection Supreme One Row for a perfect fit. In total, you should be able to build, sleeve, and store this 450-card cube for under $500.
