A Modern+ (or Legacy-) Power Cube! By @JalapenoPauper.

Two-Color Archetypes:
wu: Flash. Fair magic, just on your opponent’s turn.
wb: Tokens. The worst creatures you’ve ever played, now in ridiculous quantities.
wr: Taking Combat Turns (Aggro). Have a combat step. And another. And another.
wg: Counters. When combat math requires an advanced degree.
ub: Play-Your-Opponent’s-Cards (Control). The ultimate answer to an opponent who drafted better cards than you did.
ur: Upcycled Artifacts. One man’s trash is the same man’s treasure.
ug: Pod. Upconvert your creatures into something a little more gigantic.
br: Reanimator. They aren't that scary if they're in the graveyard, right?
bg: Graverobbing. Inverting libraries since 1994.
rg: Sneaky Monsters. Mana costs are for chumps.

Three-Color Archetypes:
wub (Esper): Play everything on your opponent’s turn.
wug (Bant): Tempo, tempo, tempo.
ubr (Grixis): Reanimate everything!
ubg (Sultai): Control, but with win cons.
bwr (Mardu): Go wide and go often. Lots of tokens. Lots of attack steps.
bwg (Abzan): Go wide and grow. Buff tokens.
rwu (Jeskai): Combat tricks, with a side of combat
brg (Jund): No need to cast any of these creatures.
wgr (Naya): Making big creatures bigger.
ugr (Temur): Not-so-subtle monsters. Big monsters, early and often.

Baseline Assumptions and Objectives

  • No infinite combos or win-on-the-spot cards

  • Equity across colors, pairs, and triads

  • Ample support for 3-, 4-, and 5-color heroes, I mean, drafters

  • Power level of Modern with the flavors of Legacy

  • Simple enough for the novice drafter; deep enough for the entrenched cuber
