This is my old bordered vintage cube, also called retro cube. This summary provides you the thought guidelines from my perspective, archetype overview and a short maybe list.

The cube's only restriction is that only old bordered cards can enter the cube. This can be from Alpha until Scourge, but also new retro bordered printings such as in Modern Horizons 2, Judge Promos, Secret Lairs or Time Spiral: Remastered.

At the moment I have an additional rule of not putting power in the cube. the original idea was to have a more premodern format orientated cube, but have the more fun cards from Old School and the newer format cards in there. Judge promos are a nice way of getting some additional powerful cards in the cube. With creatures being overall pretty weak in the old era the inclusion of the 5 swords was a major upgrade to have the creatures be more of a focus point of the cube. All in all, a lot of love, time and tweaking has been done. And with years progressing the cube will be updated with newer retro border printings.

Feel free to copy the list or message me for any feedback you have regarding the cube.
