Greetings!

Made this Conspiracy themed cube with a bunch of stuff added to it. It's the first cube I've built, and I am currently in play testing process with it. Updating as it goes.

The idea of the draft is random packs of 20 cards, each seeded with 3 cards from the maybeboard:

-1 Land card out of 24
-1 "Draft Matters" card out of 24 (Paliano, the High City included here)
-1 Conspiracy card out of 24

Minimum deck size is 50 cards.

This cube is meant for 4-8 players, although I am a bit concerned with the 4 player draft and how the deck archetypes will be built. There are a lot of options in what to build, there are "commanders" for 3-color archetypes that are the largest and extremely vague, mostly just get the good stuff for each of your colors and you're good to go. Originally I also wanted to include the initiative mechanic into the cube, but decided to cut them since there were only 10 ish cards that gave you initiative and there were no cards that really cared about the dungeon mechanic, maybe an idea for the future!

Full pod of 8 players will be using 408 cards from the mainboard and the maybeboard is utilized in full. Which means 480 total. The leftovers are just for more variety within the cube. I tried to include some stuff for all color pairs but I might have to cut some of that to make the cube a bit more playable. I'm afraid there's too many ways to build your deck, and some cards are extremely powerful compared to others.

The deck archetypes are as follows, there is a 3 color way to build your decks, or stick with just two colors if you'd like

2-Color >Archetypes >"Commander" >3-Color
wuAzoriusVoting/TapTivit, Seller of SecretsEsperwub

rwBorosSpells/TricksKykar, Wind's FuryJeskaiurw
gwSelesnyaMonarch/CountersJared Carthalion, True HeirNayargw
guSimicDefenders/UntapArcades, the StrategistBantgwu

As you can see, if you start to build a 2-color archetype, let's say you go for Azorius, there's a good chance that you can adjust into 3-color later as the draft progresses. You could reliably go for Esper, Jeskai, or Bant depending what cards of the archetypes appear from the next packs. You don't have to settle on a color on the first pack either, you can still shift your ideas later on without much issue.

The problem here is that if you are going for Golgari Enchantments, there are very few 3-Color combinations you can bleed into, the only viable sort being Abzan with the most support for enchantment strategies.

A second problem of this cube is that there are very few obvious cards that fit into a specific archetype only, most things are playable in other archetypes as well, so building the perfect deck might be difficult. That being said, there are a lot of forgiving cards that fit into every deck no matter the synergy.

Mainboard Changelist+1, -1

Removing yasova, adding Gwafa. Azorius doesn't have enough support hence the decision
