This cube is curated to produce fast-paced multiplayer games where table politics take center stage.

Many cards have symmetrical effects, or will provide benefits to your opponents. Players will need to build their decks to best take advantage of these symmetrical effects and determine where and when to help an opponent in order to come out on top.

Here's some things you'll see in each color:

  • White: Everyone Gets Tokens/Counters | Control the Battlefield | Monarch
  • Blue: Everyone Draws Cards | Flicker/Return to Hand
  • Black: Everyone Sacrifices Creatures | Reanimation | Life for Power
  • Red: Everyone Takes Damage | Great Attackers | Equipment
  • Green: Everyone Gets Mana | Biggest Creatures | Draw-Go
  • Colorless Everyone Draws Cards | Everyone gets Treasures

Design Goals:

  • Aim for fast-paced games by limiting life gain, pillow fort, "tax" effects, open-ended search/shuffle and other mechanics which lead to longer games.
  • Accessibility for less enfranchised players:
    • No "Capital-C Combos" or other narrow draft archetypes which require historical knowledge of the game
    • Card text that is concise and easy to comprehend (No Questing Beasts)
  • Limit the number of non-games due to mana flood/screw by including cards which cause all players to draw cards or gain mana.
  • Lots of instant and "Flash" abilities to keep players engaged when it's not their turn.
  • Maximize Interaction by omitting mechanics that prevent responses. (No Shroud, Hexproof, Protection, can't be countered...)
  • Symmetrical effects which challenge the player to build their deck to come out on top of the otherwise equalizing spell.
  • Showcase the Color Pie!
