Absolutely borken cube.

Built for superpowered, fun and flexible draft sessions, it tries to includes the strongest stuff out there, including silver border, strong conspiracy, game modifiers like vanguards, playtest stuff and even those never played heroes of the realm cards.

Build notes:

  • The cube is built trying to support firstly the main Magic archetypes of Aggro, Control, Midrange and Combo. And secondly, a lot of "decks" are based upon the standouts of Legacy/Vintage/Modern.

  • The "draft on rails" feeling that gets boring pretty quick has been tried to lessen thanks to card variety, cube size and odd card choices, with the aim to explore and experiment.

  • A lot of, even strong, mechanics are avoided due to complexity and familiarity: the Ring mechanic, incubate, powerstones, stickers, initiative, dungeons and day/night are cut.
    This also makes an already difficult draft a bit more easy to follow.

  • Double faced cards are narrowed to only the most useful due to paper play.

  • Some custom cards are being implemented, but not too many.

Gameplay notes:

  • Play companions with original rules.

  • Some cards make you put cards in ante: if you would ante a card, remove it from the game. If you would lose with cards in the ante, your opponent will gain them for the remainder of the day.

  • You may choose up to one vanguard/commander/conspiracy as a game starts. Only one among these per game.(you can choose a commander only if it's written on the card, eg. Saheeli, the Gifted. You don't need to respect color identity to play a commander)

  • Wish style effects let you pick cards from your sideboard or your personal collection.

  • If you crack Blacker Lotus or Chaos Confetti during a game, you HAVE to rip it. You won't be able to use it anymore for that day, use it with caution.
