This is a midrange, creature-dominated cube focused on generally fun interactions and high synergy for a casual group. Very minimal discard, disruption, or taxing/anti-fun cards. The goal of this cube is to allow both high-skill decks and fun it-just-works style decks to be competetive.

Themes are vaguely built around the past few years of sets, but plenty of other cards are thrown in to support. There are built-in single and two-color archetypes, but enough "good cards" to support strong decks outside those. There are also a few fun combos built in, but nothing immediately game winning.

Multi-color decks are highly supported, with strong dual lands added to make drafting even 5 color decks possible. Strong synergies should guide players away from five-color soup, though.

Card Types

Adventure
Adventure cards can be cast as either side. If cast as an Adventure, the card is exiled rather than going to the graveyard, and can be cast as the non-Adventure side from exile.

Battle
A battle enters the battlefield on its front side with a number of defense counters denoted in the bottom right. You can do damage to this battle to remove its defense counters (i.e. through by choosing to attck it rather than a player or direct damage.) When the last defense counter is removed, flip it over and you may cast the back side of it for no cost.

Class
Each level has an ability that is static. Abilities from previous levels are retained when gaining a new level.

Saga
Each chapter has a triggered ability, which triggers when the counter is added. A counter is added when it enters the battlefield, and after your draw step. it is sacrifice when the final counter is added, after the ability has triggered.

Transforming Cards
Transforming cards will have day/night symbols or up/down symbols at the top left on each side. There is typically a triggered condition with the keyword transform on the front side that will transform them to the back side.

Dual Faced Cards
Dual faced cards are slightly different from transforming cards. They also have up/down symbols at the top left on each side, but when casting the spell you choose the side you want to cast. The difference can be determined because there will be no triggered condition to transform them. These cards stay on the side you cast while in play, and are face up (side with the up arrow symbol) if moved to any other zone.
