This is an Ice Age Block (Ice Age, Homelands and Alliances) desert cube, with a focus on snow lands, and is meant to be played for Ante.
Head deep into the Ice Age with this cube that explores what the original block had to offer.
Snow lands? Absolutely.
Cumulative Upkeep? You betcha.
Timmerian Fiends and Amulet of Quoz? Definitely.
Joven and Chandler? But of course.
This is a Desert cube though, so up to 24 packs are meant to be created with 18 cards each, ideally with 5 - 6 lands each. Of course, many of these lands are snow-covered, so that players get the best and worst out of them. Winter's Chill is here, and it could be deadly. Meanwhile there could be an Avalanche of Goblin Ski Patrolers (or at least one anyway), and Snowfall will surely give you a ton of mana, to pay for itself.
After making the packs, there will be some left over cards. Don't fret, that's by design, they just don't end up getting used for that draft.
For the Ante portion, here are a few things to keep you on track with this:
1 . Players must build a deck with a minimum of 41 cards.
Players are welcome to build bigger decks if they want out of the cards drafted, but that is up to them. Any cards not selected for inclusion in the initial build of their deck should be retained as that player’s sideboard.
Exceptions:
• In the unusual event that a player’s deck and sideboard drops below 41 cards, that player is permitted to add extra basic lands from the land station to their deck.
• If the proportion of lands in a players deck drops below 25% (so about 10 lands or less for a 41 card deck), extra basic lands may be added to bring the proportion of lands back up to 35%.
Example:
Lim-Dul and Jarkeld play a standard best-of 2 out of 3 match. Lim-Dul wins the first game of the match and claims the ante which includes Jarkeld’s Kjeldoran Warrior. Lim-Dul is playing a mono-black deck however, but must keep that card in his deck. After winning the second game and Jarkeld’s Balduvian Bears, Lim-Dul must still keep them in his deck, making it a 43 card deck instead of the initial 41.
Mulligans: Standard Mulligan practice should be followed (probably London or whatever style is currently the norm), but if agreed, players can mulligan up to 7, if the Ante an additional card. This may only be done once per game.
