this is a non-green cube intended to be drafted with 4 players. some cards are excluded due to being annoying to use on cockatrice (ex. o-ring effects, adventure creatures). synergy should be an important consideration for every deck, but the majority of cards should not rely on synergy to be playable. flexibility in supporting multiple different themes is prioritized. supported themes are artifacts (UWb), ninjas (UB), spells (URw), madness (BRu), and blink (UW). power level is intended to be a step up from a typical peasant cube, but significantly weaker than most modern or legacy cubes. games are intended to be relatively fast, with lots of decision points for both players. decks should most commonly be 2 colors with or without a splash, and splashing should be encouraged by the environment.
