Purpose:
To build an interesting cube using cards that mostly gets ignored in favor of their more established and more powerful alternatives. My way to enforce this is that no card with a cube popularity above 20% is permitted except under special circumstances. There is also a budget idea in the design since I want to be able to bring the cube to conventions and play with
people I do not know. And before you ask, I run proxies of the duals, shocks and fetches so they do not break the budget
considerations of the cube. My goal is for this cube to be a 5-N on the Strix scale.

A few things to note about this cube:

  • All the available basic lands are snow.
  • The supported archetypes are:
  1. UW Blink
  2. WG +1/+1 tokens
  3. UR Instants and sorceries
  4. RB Sacrifice
  5. BG Ramp
  6. WR Equipment aggro
  7. UBw Cycling/discard triggers
  8. WB Lifegain / Drain
  9. RG Power greater than X
  10. UG Flash (draw, go)
  11. WUBRG 5 color matters
  • In addition, there are a few tribal subthemes:
  1. Red: Warriors
  2. Black: Zombies
  3. Blue: Wizards
  4. White: Angels
  5. Green: Elves
