Welcome tinkers, greasehounds, gearheads, and bolt smashers to the incomparable Avishkar Inventor’s Fair! For most of you, this will be the opportunity to demonstrate your prowess in engineering, metalcraft, and the manipulation of aether. I understand however, that this year, another event has been added for a certain crowd of omenpath tourists. It says here it’s called a “Cube Draft”. Can’t say I know what that means, but good luck with it all the same!
Wrenches ready? Set... Go!
I've thought energy counters were sweet since I first saw them; immediately I wanted to make a cube with them and I did, it was bad. Luckily with the release of Fallout and MH3 I think the critical mass is there to make this theme actually work. So presented here is Gizmo cube: my first real stab at this concept since Aether Revolt.
The main Themes are:
Energy
Equipment
Vehicles
Aristocrats (revolt)
Improvise (Metalcraft, Affinity)
Tokens (servos and thopters)
+1/+1 Counters
In Gizmo cube there are a ton of synergies to assemble and you're likely to discover some unexpected ones during the game. I like to think of the draft portion of this cube as feeling like an engine-builder game like Splendor or of course, Gizmos. Even the aggressive decks will hopefully find neat synergies among their suite of cheap creatures and equipment.
