Degenerate Nano-Cube
Cube ID
Art by David Ho
Some of the most broken magic possible in 15 cards while still being fun and thought-provoking.
- The minimum deck size is 15 cards
- Players don't lose the game from decking
- The second player starts with an emblem in play with "Sacrifice this: Add one mana of any color"
Drafting
With 4 players:
- 3 packs of 7 cards
With 2 players:
- 9 Grid drafts (3x3) with the second player getting an additional card at the beginning.
- Or each player gets 6 packs of 7 cards. For each pack, pick one card, the other player picks 2 cards face up, and you pick one card and discard the rest.
Inspiration
Inspired by Tribute: Degenerate Micro Cube, which cut the Degenerate Micro Cube to 80 cards.
Like its source of inspiration, this Nano Cube contains several of Magic’s most broken and degenerate strategies. The present macro-archetypes are better described as combo, stax/prison, and control, rather than the more prevalent aggro, midrange, and control.
