Card Choices

It is mostly original old-border cards from Alpha to Scourge, but also has a sprinkling of the new retro-border cards. I keep them to a minimum to fill roles (like Mesa Enchantress) and make sure they feel of the era (Tourach, Dread Cantor fits well, not so much with Yawgmoth, Thran Physician).

Cards play as printed, so for example Orcish Artillery cost just .

History

I've had this cube for about ten years now. My box of 'maybes' is twice as big as the cube now. Here is the earliest list of the full cube I can find that I posted - https://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/the-cube-forum/cube-lists/703016-400-powered-classic-fishys-classic-cube (ported it to Cube Cobra https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/4e18a871-07fa-4822-bac9-d0027dc7979e ).

Rules

Plays with the sixth edition game rules except using the modern mulligan rule. The only major difference is damage stacking, but there are some other small ones like mana burn, lifelink/deathtouch stacking and beginning of eot (notably White Ball Lightning and Thawing Glaciers.
