This is a Strixhaven: School of Mages (STX) and Strixhaven Mystical Archive (STA) artisan doubleton set cube, suitable for (1) easy collection and play in MTG Arena, and (2) relatively inexpensive purchase in paper.

(For a cube not including uncommon Strixhaven Mystical Archive (STA) cards, see https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/stx-artisan-doubleton.)

In MTG Arena, completion of daily quests and 4x wins per day earns enough gold to quick draft 2x of all commons and uncommons for 5000 gold per STX quick draft in a reasonably short period of time.

An alternative to purchasing tokens is to proxy or purchase and sleeve dry-erase token cards, e.g. Apostrophe Games Blank Playing Cards (Poker Size, Gloss Finish). To proxy the cards for this cube, one option is MTG Print using the following list and adjusting quantities as desired:

8 Elemental (TSTX) 2
8 Fractal (TSTX) 3
4 Inkling (TSTX) 4
8 Pest (TSTX) 5
8 Spirit (TSTX) 6
8 Treasure (TSTX) 7

To create booster packs for uniformity of STA and Lesson distribution, I recommend 15-card Artisan Booster Packs with:

• 1 Mystical Archive card (uncommon)
• 1 Lesson card (common or uncommon)
• 6 Uncommons (non-lesson)
• 7 Commons (non-lesson)

Instructions starting with all cards:

• Separate out 36 STA cards as deck A.
• Separate out 28 STX lesson cards as deck B. Remove 4 at random and merge back to other cards.
• Separate out remaining STX uncommon cards as deck C.
• The remaining STX common cards are deck D.
• Shuffle all decks.
• Into each of 24 Artisan Booster Pack piles, deal 1/1/6/7 card(s) from decks A/B/C/D, respectively.
