Inspired by Core sets, Jumpstart sets, and the Salience cube, this cube was constructed to play with Magic's core elements in an approachable draft experience.

Design Goals
  • Individual cards and gamestates are very easy to parse.
  • The environment's power band is constrained, but not flattened.
  • Colour fixing is easy for 2 colours and tricky for 3+ colours.
  • Each colour embodies its traditional identity within Magic's colour pie.
  • Lots of cards that showcase the unique charms that Magic has to offer.
Design Restrictions
  • 27 spells of each colour and 15 colourless spells, divided evenly between common, uncommon, and rare.
  • 3 copies of each common, 2 copies of each uncommon, and 1 of each rare.
  • 1 creature and 1 instant or sorcery of each colour combination.
  • No wordy text boxes, niche utility effects, or split choices.
  • No functional reprints, colour-shifts, or strictly-better cards.
  • No cards with useless text (such as referencing commanders).
  • No double-sided, horizontal, split, or adventure cards.
  • Basic and generic mana costs only (no hybrid, snow, colourless, or Phyrexian mana symbols).
  • M15 frame only.
  • No external IP.
