Welcome to the Compost Cube

This a 384 cards cube that leans in significantly into graveyard synergies and contains only a handful of artifacts (you wouldn't want to put any of those in your compost).

This cube is synergy cube but doesn't go too far in that direction so there is still room for more generic decks. I want to reward players for drafting engines in their decks and have deep synergies with even the role players.

The complexity level of cards is aimed to be medium and the complexity of the decks high. I want newer and less entrenched players to be able to draft this cube without being overwhelmed but at the same time let more experienced players go relatively deep.

The guiding lights for this cube are cards that I have a particular fondness for and wanted to create an environment where they could be used to their fullest potential (at least for the weaker cards of the lot). This includes Loyal Retainers, Time Warp, Recurring Nightmare, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, Hermit Druid, Survival of the Fittest, Tamiyo, Collector of Tales.

Here are some synergies / packages supported in the cube that you can include in your deck or even build your whole deck around.

Mana fixing
This is a fixing heavy cube. You will find full cycle of original duals, shocklands, fetchlands and surveil lands. Each 2-color combination also has 2 additional fixing lands from mismatched cycles for a total of 6 lands per 2-color combination. No triome.

Grave hate
With the increased used of the graveyard, you will probably want to maindeck your graveyard interaction more than usual. I tried to strike a balance between having graveyard interaction without having graveyard nuking.
