This beginning of this cube's story began in late 2007, after watching episode 61 of The Magic Show, titled "Gleaming the Cube". I was inspired to bring together the ultimate draft experience, with great cards and loads of fun.
The first draft of this cube was between two people: a friend and myself. He ended up sacrificing a Sol Ring on turn 2 to Tinker into a Platinum Angel. Two games in a row. It was a blast, and as I collected more cards, more and more friends would ask to draft with a one-word question: "Cube?"
As the years rolled on, I started to focus more on mechanics and balance. Now, I'm focusing on establishing archetypes across three-color groups and refining them with powerful cards that play well with as many archetypes as possible.
Lately, this cube has been undergoing an overhaul, but I'm confident that once it's honed in, it will be 720 cards of absolute joy, filled with a fun, powerful and balanced format for friends and fellow planeswalkers.
These two should be great. Another Banishing Light and a white Scavenging Ooze Equipment? Yes, please.
