Schoolyard Duelists is an unsleeved, heavily-played, old-border cube for small groups -- 200ish beat up cards in a crusty old short-box. No tokens or counters are needed (unless you happen trigger Sengir Vampire). Play/draw is decided by rock, paper, scissors.

This cube is my attempt at creating a compelling form of Magic using only pre-8th Edition cards. I've tried to use modern developments in cube design to create a balanced experience while still including some of the iconic power outliers of each color.

Themes:
Rebels (W)
Control (U)
Hand Destruction (B)
Reanimator (B)
Goblins (R)
Elves (G)
RiftSlide Cycling (WR)
