This cube is designed for up to 7 players to draft a more powerful and condensed version of Core Set 2019 limited. Pack design imitates draft boosters. (Similar to Amonkhet Remastered on MTGArena)
All cards are M19.
Each player opens 3 packs of 15 cards, each containing:
8-9 Commons
3 Uncommons
2-3 Rares/Mythics
1 Dual Land-Card (duals + 1 Rupture Spire)
Commons have 2 copies. Uncommons, rares and mythics are Singleton.
Game-winning bombs like Chromium or Ajani are valued at 2 rares, henceforth the odd amount of rares and commons per booster. The missing rare is replaced with a common.
This way, especially in sealed, some boosters are not incredibly more powerful than others.
These double-rare Mythics are:
Chromium, the Mutable
Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire
Nicol Bolas, the Ravager
Vivien Reid
Tezzeret, Artifice Master
Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants
Resplendent Angel
Liliana, the Necromancer
Bone Dragon
Furthermore I nerfed a few bombs by adjusting their mana cost or abilities. In case you are looking for the most balanced draft of the format, apply these changes:

Some help to prepare the faux boosters:
When you have all required cards, sort them by rarity and shuffle each rarity pile. Now start with bomb mythics: lay them out next to one another, like pile shuffling with 21 piles. You should have 8 cards in piles. Put the other rares/mythics until you have 21 single-card piles. Now put a common over each bomb mythic (first 8) and a rare over each normal rare. Put another rare over each pile - you should have 21 3-card piles.
Hard parts done - now put an uncommon on every pile one for one until all are gone. Put all commons the same way and lastly a dual-land over each pile. You should have 21 15-card boosters. Draft with 4-7 players or play sealed with up to 3 players (6 boosters each) or 4 players (5 boosters each).
