Cube tribute to some of the most interesting and fun draft archetypes across Magic's history. Each 2-color pair has its own theme, with cards and themes cross-pollinating into neighboring colors and archetypes.

1 in 4 creatures in the cube is a legendary creature (78 total), all of which are chosen to be clear signposts and payoffs for the cube's supported archetypes. It's not a commander cube - if you spend your first 4 turns ramping, you're probably dead - but you can and should snag a few legends in your colors to give your deck a direction and be the foundation of your value engine.

All the archetypes are about building an advantage through interlocking parts and superior synergy rather than any powerful standalone creature being able to take over a game by itself. Planeswalkers are included sparingly, only in cases where they a thematic fit. Wraths are sparse and conditional - on-board advantages need to be assembled the hard way, so there are likewise few shortcuts to destroying them.
