I started this Cube with Cards I enjoyed playing in various limited sets and adapted the cards over time.
The Cube is designed to enable an enjoyable draft experience with slower, grindy matchups.
Outvalue your Opponent is the Key to Victory!
General Ruling for new Cards and adaptations:
As the Cube has only 360 cards I decided to focus on five Main 3-Color Archetypes, though finding the right cards during the draft should make every Color-Combination viable.
With 50 Dual-/Tri-Lands playing multiple coulours and splashing should be fairly easy and is intended and welcome.
Multicolor Cards are mostly based on there effect for the Main Archeypes and not as seen as signpost cards.
Main Archetypes:
Jeskai Control
Esper Blink
Jund Tokens
Abzan Midrange
Temur Ramp
Subthemes:
+1/+1 Counter
CMC 3 or less
Goblins
Some Colorpairs provide too little or any reasonably balanced cards following the general ruling of this Cube and don't add any Value to the Main Archetypes.
All Packs are stacked as follows (Custom Draft):
1 White Cards
1 Blue Cards
2 Black Cards
1 Red Cards
2 Green Cards
2 Multicolour Cards
2 Lands
4 Random Cards of the remaining cards shuffled together
This method of stacking the packs results in a better colour distribution and balance.
There are 4 premade Packs for Loreseeker to find. Each pack contains 16 cards so that each player gets 2 picks in an eight player draft. https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/f8fbf134-e041-497a-a590-11da7b72e80c
For test Drafts on Cube Cobra the Loreseeker mechanic doesn't work.
6th Version Update 13th April 2025.
Next Update probably July 2025. Sooner if Cards on Watchlist are too "problematic".
