Art by Daniel LjunggrenInnistrad is both my favorite plane and my favorite set to draft, and this cube is meant to recreate the magic of both. Additions have been made to strengthen the main two-color archetypes or to enable fringe archetypes.
Draft a tribal deck around werewolves, geists, vampires, or zombies. Mill half your deck and overwhelm your opponent with Spider Spawning tokens. Flash back spells and reduce your opponent to cinders with Burning Vengeance. Prepare for trouble and make it double with Travel Preparations. Live the dream and win on an empty library with Laboratory Maniac. Be the fun police by making Invisible Stalker into an unbeatable threat.

Three clans got graveyard mechanics in the new Tarkir set. Oddly enough, it was Temur that got the best new cards for this cube. Harmonize is just Flashback with a twist, after all. Abzan's Endure is excellent as a crossover between the Travel Prep deck and the Spirits deck, but I excluded anything above Endure 1 to keep token complexity down. I didn't find any compelling Renew cards, but Sultai has blue zombies, which don't get printed often.
Outside of the new set, a few of the less desirable equipment cards are being replaced with more efficient versions. Lively Dirge finally makes an appearance after being out of stock last time I ordered new cards. I also found a couple new creatures with more than one supported creature type. I can't believe I didn't realize before now that a Zombie Vampire existed (Silversmote Ghoul).
