The goal of this cube is to create a more powerful and consistent AFR drafting environment using random packs of 8 commons, 4 uncommons, and 2 rare/mythics and 1 dual land or evolving wilds. The cards in the cube were selected to highlight the major archetypes of the AFR set. A full breakdown of supported archetypes is outlined below.

The cube supports each of the drafting archetypes:
Azorius: Venture Control
Dimir: Rogues Control
Rakdos: Treasure Control
Gruul: Pack-Tactics Aggro
Selesyna: Lifegain Midrange
Orzhoz: Dungeon Speedrun
Golgari: Sacrifice Midrange
Simic: Ramp and Value
Izzet: Die-Roll Tempo
Boros: Equipment Aggro

Monocolored archetypes are also possible, most notably Goblins and Life Loss. Creature Midrange, Control, and Equipment are also possible but I expect these to be less viable as playing multi-colored decks is easier and more powerful.
