Welcome! Welcome to my Vintage cube! The cube is both powered and aimed at being very high power. It is still a work in progress, however almost completed, so if you draft it please leave any feedback!
Below you will find a light primer on the general themes of each colour, so that players can know what to expect, along with an overview of archetypes for each multi-colour paring as well as some combos.
There are a few small notes about the cube design:
- While the cube is aimed at being high power, I have cut some of the higher power, but unfun, cards where possible (e.g. Oko, Channel, Bribery). Overall I think they just lead to slightly boring and uninteresting play patterns.
- The singleton aspect of the cube has been broken to add a second of each of the ten main fetchlands. This not only helps with consistency in building two or three colour decks, it also creates a more consistent high-power experience, along with enabling cards such as Deathrite Shaman, Life from the Loam, and Brainstorm to move towards their power ceiling without much downside.
Now then, let us look at the colours, archetypes, and general strategies available in the cube!
White Weenie 
Control Aristocrats and Reanimator Aggro and Discard Ramp and Lands The multicoloured section has been reduced in some guild parings due to necessity and play patterns. Boros has one card, just Talisman of Conviction (so realistically zero), because there are little important Boros pay-offs, and most Boros decks can splash monocoloured cards easily enough. Some guild parings such as Rakdos, Golgari, and Selesnaya are somewhat oversized compared to the others, but this is due to how many key pay off cards they have for overall archetypes.
For instance:
- Rakdos has both Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar and Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast which are important in discard and artifact reanimator.
- Grist, Hogaak and Fiend Artisan

Artifacts
Teferi, Time Raveler along with Displacer Kitten will allow you to draw your deck, or build infinite storm, with any zero cost artifact (and infinite mana if you are able to tap it for mana before the bounce).
Couple this with Thassa's Oracle or a relevant storm card, for the win.
Speaking of Storm, you'll find the usual enablers to build a storm deck.
There is also the three card combo of LED, Brain Freeze, and Underworld Breach.
Saffi Eriksdotter with either Renegade Rallier or Extraction Specialist provides an endless loop of deaths and returning to the battlefield.
Couple with sacrifice outlets that provide damage, or infinite mana, to win.
You can also achieve infinite mana with Nether Traitor, Cult Conscript (at instant speed, or Bloodsoaked Champion at sorcery speed), Pitiless Plunderer, and Phyrexian Altar.
Within the overall lands archetype it is also possible to put together Dark Depths thanks to Crop Rotation, Elvish Reclaimer and Knight of the Reliquary.
Krark-Clan Ironworks decks also exist with several variations. You can play the typical Second Sunrise style build, running eggs.
But you can also run loops using cards like Junk Diver, Myr Retriever with cards like Teshar. Imotekh the Stormlord is a great new card for this loop! In play with Teshar gives you infinite 2/2s, but with just Krark-Clan Ironworks, Imotekh the Stormlord, and one of the two artifact retrieval creatures, you can create infinite death loops (giving you a kill with Disciple of the Vault) and infinite mana (if the total CMC of the loopers is 5 or less) since each of the two tokens created by Imotekh in each loop are artifact creatures, generating 6 colourless mana each loop.
