Introduction

This is a 4 player commander cube that can be quickly shuffled up, drafted, and immediately played based off the Jeskai Tiny Leaders cube designed by @BearlyLupe.

Outline

• Type: Commander bar cube
• Identity: Desert with color restriction
• Plays: 3-4
• Speed: Unpowered midrange multiplayer
• Variance: The entire cube is drafted

Design Restrictions

• All cards in this cube are 3 mana value or less.
• Cards are color restricted to Grixis (blue, black, and red). This cube is only 240 large (including lands).
• Singleton has been broken only for lands. You will find 2 of each land and 10 of each basic.

Drafting the Cube

• This cube is a desert cube, so there is no land station. Players will have to draft any lands that they wish to play.
• There are exactly 240 cards. You shuffle and draft the whole thing. By the end of draft each player will have a card pool of 60 cards (including lands) from which they will build their 40 card decks.
• When you are ready, players should each create 5 packs of 12 cards each.
• During draft, players will pick 2 per pack before passing and picking 2 again until the pack and all packs have been drafted.

Building your Deck

• Once draft is finished players will construct 40 card decks from their 60 card pool.
• Since this is a commander cube, each player will select a legendary creature to act as their commander, which counts as 1 of the 40 cards.
• Color identity is enforced, so any pips that go in your deck, must appear printed on your commander.
• The exception to color identity is lands. You may put any lands you drafted into your deck.
• This cube has 5 commanders of each included guild pair and 2 commanders for the Grixis wedge if you want to try to greed pile. There are technically monocolor commanders; feel free to experiment and push the environment.

Playing the Game

• This is a commander cube, so you will play 3 or 4 player multiplayer games.
• Unlike typical commander, players each start with 20 life, so adjust your game plan accordingly to be the last standing.
• Good luck, planeswalker!

Archetypes

While I don't have an exhaustive list here, I've selected cards that will encourage sacrificing and reanimating creatures and casting multiple spells per turn with historic card synergies to tie to knot. This cube is brand new and I'm excited to see how this cube evolves.
