The goal of this cube is to maximize the power of the classic major archetypes - aggro, midrange, and control - and spice them up with ‘mini combos' and build-arounds.

Good examples of which include tameshi/bauble, eternal witness/ephemerate, and stoneforge mystic/batterskull. While these combinations lead to positive synergy, they rarely supersede the game plan defined by their respective macro archetypes. As such, I aim to promote 'different flavors' of these archetypes that use their sub-synergies to attack at alternate angles.

These goals have led me to select a majority of cards that have intrinsically high floors and low fail rates, complemented with a few higher variance build arounds. This combination ideally leads to emergent interactions for players to explore and enjoy.
