BEWARE! Below description is a bit outdated as I'm trying out new things and can't be bothered to change it at this moment. The list is up-to-date though.

Overview
This is a vintage cube of middle power - somewhere between Strix 6 and 7. It's meant to be an interactive environment with a wide representation of different, balanced archetypes. We are not there yet:)
The cube is mostly singleton - the exception being 2 sets of shocks and fetches.

Draft method
This cube is designed to be drafted by 4-6 people, each getting 6 packs of 15 cards with one card being randomly burned after each pick. This results in 2/3 of the whole cube being drafted with 4 players, and all of it with 6 players. It could also be played by 8 players in a standard fashion, however this has not been tested.

Intentional exclusions
There is no Power9 or adjacent stuff like Library of Alexandria or Sol Ring.
There are many intentionally excluded, high-power cards such as: Balance, Tinker, Opposition, Upheaval, Hymn to Tourach, <3cmc reanimation, Natural Order, T3feri, Fractured Identity, Oko, Skullclamp, Jitte, Wurmcoil, most eldrazi (apart from EtPE) and many more.
There are also no intentionally supported infinite combos or storm.

Some of those exclusions might be a mistake, this is a fairly fresh cube (started early 2020) that gets played 1-3 times per month.

Also excluded are all double faced cards that are not lands, as I don't expect every player to know such cards by heart and they would be a hassle to draft.

Booster Tutor
(This feature is experimental and has not actually come up in draft yet)
There is a separate pre-constructed booster for Booster Tutor. It is meant as a toolbox for every occasion, however consisting of cards that are slightly below cube's power level or on the lower end of it's scale. The expectations are that it plays as a kind of black-flavoured Opt.
The booster contains:
