Ixalan Cube
Cube ID
Art by Tyler JacobsonA cube made almost exclusively from Ixalan-Plane cards, and particularly those from the original XLN block. It leans heavily into the XLN block archetypes, with cards added for the 
and 
pairs, which were not supported in the block.
Two-colour archetypes:
- Pirates aggro, sacrifice subtheme
- Pirates tempo
- Pirates control
- Dinosaurs aggro
- Dinosaurs midrange
- Dinosaurs control, toughness matters
- Vampires
- Merfolk
- Graveyard bollocks
- Flyers

A significant change, for a few reasons:
- To patch the and colour pairs, which weren't properly supported in the XLN block
- To incorporate some LCI/LCC cards, along with a few from other sets, that complement the existing archetypes
- To remove some weaker cards which saw little or no play
- To lower the overall curve (a touch)
