Enter, the Junderdome!


Have you ever wanted a cube where all you play is Jund mirror matches? No? Just me?


Design Goals

  • The cube is designed to be drafted with 2 or 4 players. 3 players is possible, but not recommended.
  • Midrange is the name of the game. Each player is playing a flavor of midrange.
    • This can range from Boomer Jund to Hazo-Red to The Rock
    • In true midrange fashion, decks can lean more aggro or more control, but most decks are midrange
      • Aggro and control could theoretically work, but should be beaten by a more midrange deck
  • Include "classic" jund midrange cards while also limiting cards that promote other archetypes. (ie. combo)
    • No "win the game" A+B combos
    • Limit sweepers to narrow or costly ones
    • No reanimator (too much like combo)
  • Threats are interactable, and answers are plentiful and versatile.
  • The graveyard matters, always
    • Mechanics that promote the graveyard matter will feature in nearly every deck. Some cards have been specially added so that card type in the grave matters cards are better.
  • Make sideboards meaningful
    • Reward players for picking hate pieces

Design Conundrums

So after a few drafts of this one thing is clear, the player who drafts more cheap cards tends to win. I am not quite sure how to solve this, but this means that the cute top ends or synergy cards don't shine through at all. I will need to figure out if its a card issue or an issue with the twobert. Maybe drafting less cards will solve this?
