Welcome to the Classy Commander cube! The format is multiplayer Brawl, but with a couple of house rules:
Archetypes
: Party, Venture into the Dungeon
: Rogues, Theft
: Treasure, Sacrifice
: Legendary Creatures Attacking
: Tokens, Lifegain
: Clerics, Venture into the Dungeon
: Spellcasting, Dice Rolling
: Return from Graveyard
: Equipment and Warriors
: Ramp, Different Creature Types Matter
: Dungeons
: Theft
: Warriors
: Lifedrain
: Dice Rolling
: Party and Dragons (Dragons focused in
)
There are 1200 cards in the cube, the missing cards are customs linked to below. I started with hitting basically every D&D related reference or mechanic that Wizards have ever put into Magic along with souping up AFR draft. With the release of Battle for Baldur's Gate, I have a lot more D&D to work with, and have been able to better support multiplayer play. There were a few different points it was important to me to include:
I maintained the 10 draft archetypes of AFR. I really, really enjoyed AFR draft and I added multiples of some commons and uncommons from the set to help that along, then found support for these themes elsewhere.
Support for party. I added a bunch more clerics, wizards, rogues, and warriors, support cards for those types, and a bunch of the party cards from ZNR. Further, games start with an emblem in play that help this theme (see above).
Dragons! A heck ton of dragons and dragon support cards to make dragon typal more viable, and to make Tiamat more of a build around.
Silver borders. D&D can get super silly and weird, especially with my group! This is also where I added support for dice rolling. Some Unfinity cards have been remade with new names or art to fit the flavor better.
D&D stuff. Traps, quests, curses, and literally anything that had a direct D&D name. All the things I could fit that helped the flavor.
60+ custom cards: 25+ commanders based on characters my friends and I have played in RPGs over the years, 10 new Lair lands, 10 new Adventure lands, the aforementioned 7 custom classes (spread over 16 cards), and others to fill specific needs of the cube.
