Art by Richard Kane FergusonPeasant+ cube which draws from the design philosophy of present-day Masters sets:
- Powerful commons and uncommons (and a few choice rares) in an archtype-driven format, with consolidated mechanics and mechanical complexity
- Two-color archetypes, sign-post gold cards, overlapping synergies across colors pairs
- Balanced environment preferred over raw power, including de-powered removal
- General rarity exception for lands, as access to more powerful lands has improved the quality of both draft and gameplay without significantly impacting the Peasant experience.

It’s been almost a year since my last update here, but I wanted to say that this cube is definitely not dead and in fact is going through something of a metamorphosis. One reason for the lack of updates, other than getting bogged down with life stuff, is that I have been working on a second cube project inspired by Magic Foundations: [https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/pfdn]
The goal was to create a simpler, beginner-friendly cube as an on-ramp for newer players and Foundations seemed like the perfect core to build around. This in turn, allowed me to decouple those goals (and a few archetypes) from my main cube project here, which I am presently working on a major overhaul of. I’m excited for the changes so stay tuned!
