From the Grave is a cube in which the only cards included care about the graveyard in some way shape or form. Because such a large
portion of the cards in existence that care about the graveyard are black cards, I chose to heavily skew color balance (and,
therefore, mana fixing) in favor of black cards instead of running worse cards for the purpose of color balance maintenance. Aggro
and Control are not supported archetypes in order to let more synergy-driven decks to shine and bring the graveyard theme to the
forefront in an environment that is still heavily tempo-driven. ARCHETYPES
The supported macroarchetypes are essentially midrange and combo. Midrange occurs in the form of aristocrats and slightly larger,
recursive midrange decks. Combo occurs in the form of fatty cheat, primarily in the form of reanimator (sneaky Ilharg, you). The
cheat turn has a pretty hard speed limit of turn 4 in order to allow its midrange brethren to adequately pressure and react to it;
including faster reanimation would skew the metagame balance in the favor of combo reanimator, and is the reason for this speed
limit imposition. THANKS
This made is in making with SirFunchalot, good friend and cohost of "Cube Cats." The card research and ultimate selection is in
continual discussion with him, and would not occur nearly as quickly without his help. SirFunchalot, Sepha, Metallix, and
Premiersoupir (Cultic Cube host) from the MTG Cube Brainstorming discord helped with the initial playtests and gave feedback on
play experience that helped me to improve the cube, and I owe them a special thanks. ENJOY! REMEMBER: NOTHING IS EVER REALLY GONE.
