Mythic Cube! Think of a pauper cube except...the exact opposite.

Here's what you need to know:

  • The curve is HIGH, obviously! Don't be surprised if your curve doesn't start until 3. This makes cards that interact in the early game (Lotus Cobra, white aggressive creatures, mana rocks) very powerful. Play AT LEAST 18 lands, sometimes more depending on your deck.
  • The mana is...not the best. I mean, it's not like WotC prints cycles of Mythic Rare lands in sets. Expeditions help a lot, so definitely prioritize them! A lot of cards include CC or CCC in their costs, so fixing is key!
  • Planeswalkers are good. Over 15% of the cube is Planeswalkers, so your average deck will have 3-5 of them.
  • The only two-card combo currently is Food Chain/Misthollow Griffin, but there may be more yet to discover πŸ‘€
  • There's not a ton of spot removal, so if you see it, value it highly.
  • Swords are good in the right decks, but not every deck wants them, so don't value them SUPER highly.

Rough Archetypes available (but I'm sure there are more yet undiscovered):

I've owned the Mythic Cube in paper since early 2013, and have been updated with every set since. Still missing a few cards in their ideal version, so hit me up if you have anything that I've marked as "Not Owned"!
