While every card in this cube has been printed at common or uncommon, there are still many powerful cards and effects present. The intention behind this cube is to create space for interesting synergies rewarding players for drafting towards key archetypes or a sub-archetypes as opposed to "Good Stuff".
These archetypes will be listed below along with some examples of key Enablers and Payoffs:
Flicker:
Enablers - Soulherder, Ephemerate, Ghostly Flicker.
Payoffs - Cloudblazer, Mulldrifter, Master Splicer. This archetype can of course bleed into other colors as anything with a strong ETB trigger (Ridgescale Tusker, Flametongue Kavu, Shriekmaw) can be a payoff.
Discard/Looters:
Enablers - Vohar, Vodalian Desecrator, Looter Il-kor, Armix, Filigree Thrasher.
Payoffs - Lazotep Chancellor, Containment Construct, Ominous Seas. There is a lot of depth to the discard theme with many directions to take for payoffs. There are outs to reanimator, unearth, madness, as well as rewards for drawing cards. This theme also plays well when including green for retrace, or red for artifact synergy.
