Bar-Adjacent Twobert Mode

This is the Twobert version of my pauper cube, made for a long-ass train ride to MC Chicago in February 2024.

To streamline list curation and to reduce the amount of play materials needed, it follows the 'bar cube' philosophy of no counters, no tokens. As such, some of the archetypes are tweaked a bit from my regular cube. Red-white is still able to do go-wide aggro but has more of an equipment theme, and green-white is more focused on Auras rather than counters.

Art and Foil Preferences

My art preferences are for nonfoil cards over foil, for old border cards over new border cards, for updated rules text over older + errata'ed text, and for promotional / special art over regular printings. I also prefer black / common rarity symbols on all cards wherever possible, but this is a secondary goal after modern rules text + coolness. These are not 100 percent followed in all circumstances except the nonfoil rule
