Cloned from Magic Online Team Draft Cube 1

A powered vintage Cube, heavily relying on synergistic pieces to win the game. You'll find very few individually broken cards, such as Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes, instead cards like Survival of the Fittest and Bazaar of Baghdad are maximized here with Vengevine and Squee, Goblin Nabob.

Cloned from Magic Online 6-Man Synergy Cube

The purpose of this Cube is to be played in a Team Draft (6-player) format via draftmancer.com, organized on Discord and matches being played on Magic Online.
Most Cubes tend to be designed for an 8-player Pod and I find those to be not as well suited for Team Draft, because the redundancy of effects gets lost a lot of the time, since too much of the Cube just isn't opened. Another thing I find somewhat annoying, when it comes to Team Drafts is seeing your packs too often (double wheels). I made adjustments for those in my live Cube, since 8 people is hard to get, but 6 happens quite frequently. These changes have been well received and we've been doing it ever since. The Cube is drafted with 4 packs of 12 cards, which puts the same ratio of cards into the draft, as you would with a 540 Cube in an 8-player evironment.

This is a starting point, so one could expect frequent changes, but here's a general idea of the color spread:

Azorius - Combo Artifacts/Control
Dimir - Graveyard/Doomsday
Rakdos - Madness
Gruul - Madness/Lands
Selesnya - Zoo
Orzhov - Disruption
Izzet - Spells Matter/Artifacts
Golgari - Graveyard
Boros - Artifact Aggro
Simic - Lands

Sultai is the graveyard deck, which also "flows into" discard stuff in Jund and vice versa. Jeskai is artifacts, but has a very different focus depending on the colors. White focuses heavily on agressive artifact creatures (which is also why it's the least represented color, because the artifact creatures are probably best here) and borrows some burn from red, like Shrapnel Blast. The rest of Jeskai focuses more on combo, with Bomberman, Thopter/Sword and just cards like Iconoclast and Saheeli. There's also just full on Domain Zoo (Kavu, Flames, etc.). Of course you can do anything in between and if you want to Ephemerate your Siege Rhino, I won't fault your for it, but that should cover the basics!
