Themes of the Cube Draft Matters / Small Cubing Group SizeThe Conspiracy sets have revolutionized drafting and made drafting more than merely picking the twenty-three best cards. They emphasized the drafting process and appropriately include cards that affect more than one active player. To replicate this experience, a singleton copy of each Conspiracy card is included in the cube and are randomly inserted into packs. Additionally with the 'Draft Matters Cards' like Garbage Fire, the Cogwork cycle cards, and others card selection and pick order matter. Due to the unique nature of Conspiracy, this cube is designed for a playgroup to draft with limited numbers.
Multi-player MattersThe Conspiracy sets serve as a good backbone with multiplayer magic in mind. When the cube was designed, cards were selected that formed cycles to compliment the various archetypes. Inspiration was derived from the commander sets with regard to each
multiplayer cycle (Join forces, Tempting offer, etc.) that gave fun, splashy interactions that provides a holistic multiplayer experience.
The Backbone of the Cube was designed with every card that has a Conspiracy set mechanic (Dethrone, parley, conspiracies, voting
cards, monarch, etc.) would be included in the cube in the following distribution:
Fliers/Tempo
Value Control (Monarch Matters, Graveyard Matters, Politics)
Aggro (Goblin Subtheme)
Ramp (Big Creatures Matter)
Tokens (Elf Subtheme)
Midrange politics (Voting, Monarch Matters)
Spells Matter (Tempo/Control)
Graveyard Matters Midrange (Sacrifice, Reanimation)
Go wide Aggro (Human Subtheme)
Midrange (Big Creatures Matter)
