Nostalgic, Powerful, and Streamlined. A home for the titans of Magic, without indulging all of its complexities.

"Classic Magic" is a format that celebrates iconic, elegant MTG designs while paring down apparent complexity that can dominate popular cube paradigms. This cube aims to remove "noise" and deliver a streamlined limited experience, for veterans and novices of the cube format alike. Minimizing the need of encyclopedic MTG knowledge, Classic Magic provides the player with a variety of deep, strategic, and nostalgic archetypes while avoiding niche mechanics and heavy word counts. This cube was designed as a sort of "palate cleanser" for the group's powerful and zany cube offerings. Also, it can serve as a milder cube offering for a cube recruit due to its reserved design.

Primary Goal: A design focus around classic MTG cube cards and archetypes. Interaction is good and threats shouldn't snowball as fast as "pushed" cube formats.
Six cycles of fixing lands.
Key Restrictions:
-An emphasis on elegant designs that reinforce the color pie.
-Evergreen+ mechanics! The base MTG mechanics plus cycling, kicker, delve, and flashback.
-No deck shuffling effects!
-Limited token types; around a dozen tokens are supported.
-No distracting text (such as "This card can be your commander" "Take the initiative").
-All cards have the classic border, in transparent sleeves so you can see the iconic MTG cardback. This means no DFCs!
-No cards are Universes Beyond and very few come from Commander sets.
