Want to draft a cube and play online in-pod but don't want to worry about whether players will have the cards or wildcards to
build their decks? You've come to the right place!
OVERVIEW

This cube comprises common and uncommon cards from the 2019-2020 Standard season, i.e. Guilds of Ravnica - Core Set 2021,
excluding supplemental sets. The card pool should make it relatively easy to assemble for people who've been drafting in paper or
online during this period.

The cards have been chosen with an eye toward synergy, flexibility, and interactivity, meaning that:

  • many cards fit in more than one archetype or strategy

  • players shouldn't feel like their draft is "on rails" after a couple of picks

  • copious dual lands and mana rocks should make it relatively easy to effect splashes and multicolored decks

  • non-interactive mechanics like Hexproof, Indestructible, and Protection are rare

  • I've excluded non-interactive cards (e.g. Ashiok, Dream Render, Zenith Flare, and Teferi's Tutelage) and made an
    effort to minimize low-interaction strategies (e.g. heavy mill and discard)

  • there's lots of card-draw, and not just in blue

  • I've given priority to "value" cards that offer flexibility, such as those ETBs, Cycling, Adventure, and Escape

ARCHETYPES AND THEIR PRIMARY COLORS

The main archetypes reflect those of the season's sets, though I've striven to make them overlap as much as possible and promote
"pockets of synergy."

DRAFT ONLINE, PLAY ONLINE!
Can't meet in person or need some bots to fill in some seats? Simply export the cube's card list and upload it to a quality online
draft site such as these (links go to upload instructions): * Draftpod: https://draftpod.org/guide#cardpools/ ("Uploading a
Cardpool" section)

(Draftpod seems to have smarter bots, on average, while MTGADraft offers more options for draft formats and pack collation.)After
you've finished your draft, export the deck lists in MTGA or MTGO format and import the decks in the corresponding program. Enjoy!
