Welcome and thanks for taking the time to look at my cube list! This is an “unpowered” Peasant Cube which means that any card ever printed at common or uncommon rarity is eligible for inclusion, excepting those found on the banned list (see below).
I am hoping to support some light 3 color archetypes with lots of bleed between color pairs to enable easy synergy in each trio. We are a group of 4 currently with the goal to play this as a sealed cube.
I am hoping to include a few archetypes that are not as common in peasant - artifact animation in blue, delirium in Jund, tokens in Naya - but not at the expense of including generically powerful cards. Alongside these are the normal Mardu Aristocrats, Grixis Spells, Boros Aggro, Sultai Reanimator that are popular in many cubes.
Banned List:
Infinite / Game-Ending Combos
Land Destruction or bounce is suspended while the Ravnica Bouncelands are in the cube
The Initiative
The Monarch
All Free Spells (as in, alternate cost clauses like Force of Will or Fireblast)
Regenerate
Hexproof, Shroud and Protection from a Color
-Ancient Tomb
-Channel
-Dark Ritual
-Ghostly Prison (et. al.)
-Gut, True Soul Zealot
-Hymn to Tourach
-Karakas
-Land Tax
-Library of Alexandria
-Lotus Petal
-Mana Drain
-Mother of Runes
-Narset, Parter of Veils
-Sensei’s Divining Top
-Skullclamp
-Sol Ring
-Standstill
-Sylvan Library
-Veil of Summer
I am making a few changes in light of feedback received to increase fixing, allow more discard outlets, lower curve overall and especially in mardu. I have realized this will be a sealed cube and I will hash out the adjustments if any for drafting later on. Therefore a few flip cards are being introduced as there’s no harm in a sealed setting. Apart from individual swaps, a gold card from each color pair has been removed and a cycle of Trilands has been added.
With these changes in place and many thanks to the people who helped spark thoughtful conversations around ways to improved the cube we are ready to order some cards and start play testing. Cheers!
