Welcome To Ian’s Proliferate Cube!
I was inspired to build this cube with the release of All Will Be One, and it has evolved greatly since then! This environment is all about manipulating different types of counters. Whether it be your classic +1,+1 counter deck, loyalty counters, -1,-1 counters or even infect, this cube supports many unique strategies. It also includes duplicates of some cards with proliferate to increase the density of proliferation effects.
This cube offers interactive and explosive gameplay, with a wide arrange of archetypes all revolving around manipulating counters. Aggro, Control, Midrange, and Combo decks are all fully supported. Some examples of combo decks that exist include Devoted Druid combined with Swift Reconfiguration, and Triskelion alongside Mikaeus, The Unhallowed. Here are some examples of what you can expect different color combinations to accomplish:
is focused on controlling the game and grinding out value over time. This is often accomplished through superfriends strategies and blinking your creatures.
primary gameplan is to accrue value over time through aristocrats. Whether it be draining your opponents out or looping persist creatures, aristocrats is a highly effective strategy to grind your opponent down.
Is all about aggro and tokens in this cube. Use efficient, aggressive creatures that grow and make tokens to finish off your opponent as quick as possible.
is the primary color pair for +1 +1 counters. Use counter doubling effects to grow your creatures quickly, while also accruing value overtime.
are the colors for control and utilizing the graveyard to accrue advantage. It can also have explosive turns surrounding reanimation effects and proliferation.
is the color pair for slinging spells, and controlling the board. Utilizing red’s affinity for copying spells and burn, and blue’s counterspells and card advantage, spell slinger is a formidable archetype.
is all about proliferating as often as possible, and taking advantage of larger, splashy effects in the late game to take over. Through counter doubling effects and massive proliferation, this archetype can spiral out of control for your opponent.
are the colors for -1 -1 counters, and aristocrats. Utilizing powerful synergies such as persist creatures, sacrifice outlets, and shrinking your opponents creatures,
is a very unique and strong deck to pilot.
as an archetype is centered around maximizing graveyard utilization to steadily accrue advantages and outpace opponents. Leveraging mechanics like delirium, self-mill, and dredge, this strategy becomes a relentless force that can be exceedingly challenging to counter.
thrives on amplifying the size and potency of its creatures, and delivering decisive blows with colossal and elusive threats. Harnessing the strength of the modified mechanic, this color combination swiftly overwhelms opponents.
Enjoy!
