This list was uploaded in proxy, and is designed by Andrea Mengucci. This version was draftable on magic online as part of the community Spotlight Cube Series in April 2021.
AboutIt brings me great joy to show you the cube that I and my friends from Senigallia, Italy, my hometown, have worked on and improved for almost three years.
My community is mostly Legacy and Vintage players, so it was natural for us to start with Magic Online's Vintage Cube, and from there, we modified it with our personal preferences, set after set.
The first thing we noticed was that the packs were always running out of blue cards, and we would always find ourselves with several white, red, and green cards that none of us really wanted by the end of each pack.
Our play group was more attracted to blue control, artifact strategies, or combo decks. As a result, cards like Honor of the Pure, Baneslayer Angel, and Burst Lightning were just underappreciated. Often, you were forced to draft certain archetypes when you didn't want to, even though Cube Draft is supposed to be an escape from normal Draft and a place where one could draft some of the most busted cards in Magic.
As a result, the MenguCube isn't perfectly color balanced. We have 87 blue cards, 84 artifacts, 72 lands, 66 green cards, 60 red cards, 57 black cards, 57 white cards, and even the multicolor cards skew toward blue. As you can see, the cube includes more of the colors and archetypes that we enjoy most: blue cards and artifacts.
In the MenguCube, you don't need to aggressively cut blue in the first picks, like I tend to do whenever I draft MTGO's Vintage Cube. You can focus on some precious dual lands or artifacts first.
