Art by Omar RayyanCompletion: 99% Shadowmoor-Eventide
A world in eternal night
Thematically based around mono or two coloured pairings.
Design: The colour pie determine the symmetry in the cube as well as roughly the same amount within cycles and text that refers to a specific colour. The aim so to adjust the card count to maximum 3 on commons and 2 on uncommons.

Recommendation for cube introductionWinston draft is an easy way to explain a little and talk about the cards in the cube for an easier introduction to the format. Secondly, to reduce time with (not new but) inexperienced playersuse the recommended method as if you were 1 additional player. If
you are 3 players, use the method recommended for 4 players. This yields less information and too high variability (which is not ideal) but reduces time to make each decision/pick.
Small adjustment on bombiness;
Checked ASFAN of removals (weak and strong) to 4.4.
Increased counterspells.
Reduced CMC on mono.
Rare count from 24% to 23%.
Colourless from 10% to 11%.
Colour match (percentage of finding a given colour across mono and hybrid) 0.5%.
ASFAN of finding Liege or Avatar is not 1.5
Thank you for this great cube! I checked all the Shadowmoor/Eventide Cubes here on Cubecobra and this is by far my Favourite. Just one question: Why is the Simic duo land (Flooded Grove) not included? Is Simic too strong already and needed a nerf or does it have other reasons? Thank you!
