5/10/2021 - This cube has undergone a redesign into a 540 card cube. View the new, updated cube here: https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/goldd540

Focus:

• The goal of this cube is to develop a fun and balanced format of diverse archetypes.
• My intention is to avoid powerful cards that have game-warping effects as well as combos that lead to an immediate victory.
• My aim is to keep the cube budget-friendly and under $750 (although I may adjust the budget in future).

Card distribution:

• 250 monocoloured: 50 of each colour (balanced)
• 100 multicoloured: 9 of each guild (90) + 1 of each shard/wedge (10)
• 50 colourless
• 50 land: 3 of each guild (30) + 1 of each shard/wedge (10) + 10 generic

Exclusions:

• No pre-modern card frames
• No white-border cards
• No silver-border cards
• No double-faced cards
• No cards referencing cards from outside the game (i.e. wish cards)
• No cards referencing snow mana or snow permanents
• No made-for-multiplayer cards (i.e. cards referencing commanders)
• No cards over $20 (excluding damaged copies owned)

Excluded strategies:

• No stax
• No mill (besides self-mill)
• No discard (besides madness)
• No land destruction (unless sacrificing own lands)
• No poison

Draft preparation:

• My intention IRL is to semi-randomise booster packs to avoid an unbalanced distribution of colours/types.
• This is achieved by equally distributing cards into stacks of 45 cards.
• Each stack will consist of 5 random cards of each colour (25), 10 random multicoloured cards, 5 random colourless cards and 5 random lands.
• Once assembled, each stack of 45 cards is shuffled and separated into 3 equal booster packs of 15 cards.
• For 2-player grid drafts, each 45 card bundle is separated into 5 packs of 9 cards. Use 4 bundles to create 20 packs to draft with.
• For 4-player grid drafts, each 45 card bundle is separated into 3 packs of 15 cards. Use 6 bundles to create 18 packs to draft with.
