This is a Bruiser Commander Cube with "focused" power level. Some infinite combos are included, but the power level is not too high to keep fringe strategies and colors viable (Boros is the worst color after all). Some Commanders are more powerful then others (looking at you, Meren and Chulane), but after all, the matches are played as multiplayer games and alliances can be forged against the more powerful commanders.
This cube takes the rule from Commander Masters Draft a step further: You need a legendary creature to be your Commander, defining the color identity of your deck. The following extra partner rules apply:
There are cards in this cube more than one time. This does not negate the singleton rule for the decks. Just to make fixing for multicolored decks more easily (and effortable).
Pack size
The drafted decks must contain 60 Cards including one Commander. The pack size and number of packs are depend on the number of players. In general the players should see as many cards of the cube as possible, but this becomes difficult with fewer players (3-4). I've made a table with suggest pack sizes and number of packs. Not all cards of each pack gets drafted, some (cards not drafted) are just returned to the box. Feel free to give feedback or if you have any other ideas.
player count | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 |

pack size | 15 | 15 | 14 | 14 | 13 | 13 |
cards not drafted | 2 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 |
packs | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
total cards | 480 | 420 | 420 | 350 | 312 | 273 |
