A draft environment that fits in a deck box!

This is a Desert Travel Microcube for 4 players, designed for portability and focused on lean aggro mirror matches.

Notably, the only sources of colored mana here come at the cost of life, putting immediate pressure on players to gain early advantages.

Green is omitted because it doesn't do much at 1-3MV without tokens, counters, or mana production.

  • Decks are exactly 15 cards
  • Draft 3 packs of 8
  • Lands need to be drafted; no basics
  • If a player would draw a card from an empty library, they lose 3 life instead.
  • The player going first starts at 17 life

It seems that the optimal number of lands in a deck is 4. Cutting the lands down to 24 averages to 6 per drafter, which should be sufficient to mitigate trainwrecking.

The cards added are kind of placeholders, as I still need to sift through the last couple of releases to see if there's anything I'm excited about.
