Introduction

This is the Brandon Sanderson Cube with all cards needed and all details to know about the cube, feel free to use it, took several months to find out the cards that goes together in the same sleeve, but finally after a long time, there it is.

Firstly, want to mention that this was all constructed by my brother and I, we took several months to find out the things we are going to show in this post. I'm very thankful to have it around to recompile this cube.

The complete Brandon Sanderson Cube with all the details, and some new things that I put because I found it funny. But if you want the OG, I will give you instructions to achieve the original cube. Atleast the version that is similar to Sanderson’s cube.


Tags

First, I'm going to talk about the tags on this cube, which are really important to take in mind if you want to create the Sanderson Cube.

Commander: A tag that represents all the cards that can be your commander or can be chosen to be your commander.

Partner: All the cards that have partner in the cube.

Partner with: All the cards that have partner with in the cube. These must go together in the same sleeve, I'm going to talk later about the cards that goes together and how it works.

Foil: All the cards that must be foil. In here I decided to put also a "foil" sticker on cards aswell as for example a clover sticker to represent cards that has more cards on the sleeve. I'm going to talk about the stickers later also.

Silver Border: Cards that must have a silver border, originally they are printed as so, but if you plan to make proxy of some cards or the entire cube, make sure these are silver bordered as well as the old ones in the next tag.

Old: Cards that must have the old border, the ones printed before Mirrodin.

Link: Cards that goes with another or extra cards like regalias. See section "Linked Cards" to know all about this part.

Link-out: Cards that goes with another or extra cards like regalias that are not listed in this list. These are the cards that goes outside the draft, and it the cards that goes with some of the cards with the Link tag.

New: Cards that I decided to put in the cube, just take them off if you want the original Sanderson Cube and important to read the "New implementation" section, and downgrade them as I mention.


Sticker

There are different types of stickers on cards:

  • Red Sticker: This represents cards that can be your commander, even if it is not legendary.

Red Sticker in a card

  • Cyan Sticker: This represents cards that have additional cards on the same sleeve.

Cyan Sticker in a card  Cyan Sticker in a card

  • Yellow Sticker: This represents cards that must be foil, in some scenarios if your are making proxies, and can't obtain the foil version of a card, consider that you can represent them with a sticker. As I mentioned before this cards have the "Foil" tag on the cube list.

  • Purple Sticker: This represents cards that have Partner.

Linked cards

Linked cards are the ones that has more than one card in the same sleeve.
To see which ones are in the same sleeve I'm going to use the image of the back of every card with "Link" tag to show which cards goes together. Every card with "Link" tag will have as a back image the image of all the cards linked to it.

You can see the linked cards by filtering with tag:"Link"

You can see the linked cards that goes out the draft cubeby filtering with tag:"Link-out"

As an example you can see that Zedruu has a back image, this is the cards that if you draft this card the other one or ones that show in the back image are drafted aswell

At the end I will show all the cards that goes together, you can see them aswell in the back image of each one, but just to have an image representation of every one. You can see it in the last section called Link and Link-out


Regalias

The regalias are the original regalias from the Sanderson Script that you can find in this link expect for new additions documented in the last section "New implementations"

All regalias used for this cube are in this Google Drive link. Compare them with the originals from Sanderson if you want to play only the original cards, because I ended up adding some ideas that I find interesting for the cube.


New implementations

These are the new implementations we made to this cube, taking balance in mind. Remember that if you want to experience the original Sanderson Cube just make a downgrade of the changes I'm going to list:

  • Add new cards with the "New" tag
  • Add 10 guild gates for Maze's End to work. (This was not confirmed by Sanderson, but by having Maze's End we decided that putting those gates made sense) Those gates are intended to go on the same sleeve as Maze's End, but fitting 11 cards into 1 is hard so, I decided to take a paper and note that it includes 10 gates, and have them separated with the sleeve if wanted to play that strategy.

Link and Link-out

These are the cards that if you draft the left card in the pool you get the other from outside the draft. Some are regalias, some are partner with with the drafted card and sometimes additional cards that can be added to your deck.

Notes

So to sumerize, in the draft box you should have:

  • All the +1000 cards of the cube.
  • The 31 cards tagged as "link-out" that are diferenciated with a yellow triangle sticker at the bottom of the card. This indicates that after the draft this cards should not be in the main cube.

  • 30 Wastes for Kozilek, the Great Distortion
  • 45-50 lands of each basic land type so players can add any kind of basic land.
  • I have 8 tokens that reminds players what each sticker does and how old and silver border looks like.
