wubrg

  • 540 Cards in Cube
  • 50 Draft Synergy Cards (1.5 extra cards per pack) (Read more)
  • Singleton, except for 2x fetchlands
  • High-powered Magic (Including Power9)
  • Focus on maximum possible number of different viable decks to draft.

This is a peak-powered cube, focusing on building great high-synergy decks with the strongest card combinations in magic. Win at every price, and have a blast with the craziest cards magic has to offer.

Cube is very curated to be a great version of the "standard" vintage cube, focusing on a deep drafting phase, a massive number of different deck paths to explore, and highly interactive matches. And of course, blasting your opponents to bits with HIGH power magic. On draft #20 you'll still find new deck directions and build-around strategies.

Draft Synergies

The Stockholm Powered Cube has draft synergies, which means that when you draft certain cards, you gain additional cards for your cardpool. For example, draft Urza, Lord Protector, and gain The Mightstone and Weakstone after the draft!

To find these draft synergies, either hover cards in the list (both will be displayed), or read the tags written on the physical cards during the draft!
