Lorwynian Standoff is a three to six player pod focused cube which started from shuffling two of the duel decks, Goblins v. Elves and Goblins v. Merfolk together as a joke draft and throughout the years it's slowly evolved into the mess of a cube it is now.

The main draftable archetypes are

And secondary archetypes are

The goal of setting up this cube was to focus on solving the problem of three-player drafting in MTG. Usually with any traditional draft format, there are two distinct problems that arise when not playing with a full size pod,

1. The amount of packs you open in a round is far too little to see enough cards to get enough viables for any given archetype.
2. when there are too many draft archetypes and you open a small amount of packs, the archetypes that are present in the draft get crowded.

I personally feel that the focus on three main-draftable colors that are present in all drafts, plus the situational secondary tribal presence in the draft brings nice variation while giving players reliable fallbacks if their five-color warriors draft doesn't pan out.

For some statistics:

• Elves are the closest to the ground, with the average CMC being 2.70. Second are Merfolk with the average CMC of 2.78 and Goblins run last with the average CMC being 2.84.
• Elves and Goblins have a larger deviation, which means they'll be usually playing more odd manacost drops (Elves have the most 1-drops, Goblins have the most 3 drops) while Merfolk are playing even manacost drops (Merfolk have the most 2-drops).
• Merfolk have the highest average P/T, Goblins lagging just behind and Elves having the smallest, but average body counts on a given turn are reversed. Board states should remain hopefully interesting and dynamic.
