Art by Billy Christian
Inspiration to design a desert Cube came from meeting Austin Hale, the designer of The Amonkar Desert Cube.
Dragons of Winter's Night puts you the drafter onto a glacial plane within Magic's multiverse. This frozen realm will challenge you to survive against fearsome beasts and other Planeswalkers.
Huddle around the warmth of the fire as you take stock of your situation. You'll need to utilize the limited resources available at hand to emerge victorious. Respect the icy and barren landscape around you - it is as dangerous as the soaring dragons overhead!
Note: This Cube is drafted using 3x18 card packs. Players may not add ANY lands from outside the draft. The lands you draft are all you have available for deck building. Choose wisely!
Provide a novel and challenging draft & play experience
Evoke an adventurous & wintery atmosphere through card art, flavor, and play mechanics
Support synergistic archetypes that reward creative deck-building
This Cube takes inspiration from the Dragon's Lance series of novels.
Books filled with magic, dragons, heroes, and adventure that I loved as a child.
Players are encouraged to be creative and explore synergistic archetypes within the environment during draft and deckbuilding. Below is an outline of some of the archetypes to be explored! Also, there are dragons.
Recursion, Tap, Equipment
Tap, Snow, Artifacts
Typal (Zombies), Sacrifice, Graveyard
