I have many, many Constructed cubes on CubeCorba, and most of them are half finished if that. I have rarely had an actual "plan" going in and have some vague combination of cards I have playsets of and cards I want to have playsets of. Sometimes I even make a description. This time I'm starting with the description to try and keep myself honest.

  1. Let's start by listing some cards that I don't think work well in your traditional singleton cube:
  1. Now, decks I love, but may not be good (anymore).
    Soul Sisters
    Eternal Command
    Death & Taxes
    Martyr
    Sultai Constrictor
    Tribal Zoo
    Eldrazi & Taxes
    Selesnya Angels
    This @smurfymtg deck
    Esper Vial
    Pyromancer Storm
    Gifts Storm
    Death's Shadow Zoo
    Izzet Phoenix
    This nonsense
    Tooth and Nail
    Mono Blue Living End

We now have decks I want to be able to draft, more or less.

We found a way to make this more difficult. This undertaking has a minimum of three MASSIVE issues.

  1. Cost, literally no way around it. This is in theory okay because these are cards for decks I want to play, but in the short term, really difficult!
  2. Availability. Related to cost, it's hard to find playsets of some cards. If you are following today's Dreamhack RCQ vendor discussion, it's never the cards you expect.
  3. It eliminates cards that I want to play with because you aren't going to ever in a million years run a playset of Shadowspear.

Solution?
Cry. A lot. Right now my solution is to have themed pick packs slots. These slots will have the cards in the slot written and you will get X of each. For example for equipment:

  1. 1 Kaldra Compleat
  2. 1 Shadowspear
  3. 1 Batterskull
  4. 1 Basilisk Collar
