Lovingly abbreviated as "Electric Sheep", this is a cube where the only creature is 100 copies of Universal Automaton (the "Sheep"). Heavily inspired by—plagiarized from, in fact—the 100 Ornithopters Cube.

Unlike the Ornithopter cube, I embrace the "usually" principle when it comes to non-Sheep wincons. Usually, killing with Grinding Station or Brain Freeze will involve Sheep. Athreos, God of Passage usually isn't a creature. The Blackstaff of Waterdeep is usually pumping a Sheep. I like this approach because Sheep remain core to gameplay, but you get access to some much cooler cards and a diversity of archetypes.

There are no strict archetypes. Strategies fall into a few overlapping camps:

• Simply overwhelm your opponent with Sheep (Eagle Vision, Double Down, Glimpse of Nature)
• Make your Sheep bigger (Tempered Steel, Rally the Ranks, Ozolith, the Shattered Spire)
• Make one Sheep really big (Rancor, Ethereal Armor)
• Recur your Sheep to overwhelm the opponent (Echoing Return, Raise the Past, Dance of the Manse)
• Sacrifice your Sheep for damage (Deadapult, Goblin Bombardment)
• Combo your opponent out using Sheep (Ashnod's Altar + Second Sunrise + Grinding Station)
• Control your opponent's Sheep and play yours late (Pyroclasm, Pest Control, Golgari Charm)

Tips that I've noticed after playing this cube a few times:

• Sheep trade a lot. They kill slowly, but one player is usually taking damage.
• Because they trade, recursion is quite good. There's more WB fixing in the cube to support this.
• Similarly, wraths are plentiful, although none exile. Deploy your Sheep carefully.
• There's WAY more card draw than in Ornithopters, if you've played that cube before.
