Intro

The aim of this cube is to create a fun and challenging drafting experience. Decks should not revolve around a single bomb or combo finisher but you're encouraged to create a synergistic deck that combines multiple interactions between cards. To do this the cube embraces modern card design and combines several mechanics into one cube that can work well together. I want to encourage creative drafting and looking for interesting unexpected synergies. Simply picking one mechanic that is open will not net you the strongest decks in this cube.

In order to support this I've set a few guidelines selecting cards:

• The manabase should allow you to splash extra colors and make odd cards work together.
• Ideally cards should not have very strong single color requirements (ie. ).
• No bombs. Cards should not be game winning on their own. (ie. Laelia, the Blade Reforged got taken out because she can easily win games if unanswered.)
• No cards that go into any deck (lands and manarocks are exceptions).

The cube was initially meant to be a rework of my older budget cube but turned into an entirely new cube. It's still a relatively cheap cube to build because of that starting point.
