Budget (<$200) 480-card commander cube, based largely on Commander Legends. Each color pairing has a primary and secondary theme. There's a couple of goals I'm trying to achieve with this cube.

CUBE GOALS

  • Budget cannot exceed $200.
  • Make a Cube that doubles as a great "instant collection". If someone who doesn't have a lot of cards wants to take this cube apart and build decks, they can.
  • Prioritize "fun" and interactive mechanics (Combat over combos, mechanics like Monarch, Goad, general gameplay politics)
  • Have a diversity of mechanics and synergies that are easier for first-time Cube drafters to understand.

DRAFT RULES

  • Each player gets three packs of 20 cards, randomly assorted. Pick 2 cards per pack.
  • Cube includes 6 Legendary Creatures with Partner in each color, 3 mono-color Legendary Creatures, 3 Legendary Creatures in each color pairing and 1 Legendary Creature in each 3-color group (85 Legendary creatures total)
  • (Optional) Mono-colored Legendary Creatures without Partner have "Partner" (This hasn't been tested).
