This budget cube contains a collection of cards roughly collected under very far-reaching archetypes, using smaller and less obvious synergies for a more enjoyable drafting and deckbuilding experience.

When I draft a cube, I dislike just going through the motions of picking cards because they fit the archetype I'm in. There should be consideration. Competition. That's part of what makes drafting fun.

The other main goal (besides budget) of this cube is uniqueness. This cube contains an amazing variety of overlooked cards, from Vedalken Anatomist to Tavern Swindler, that makes drafting an experience of discovery in addition to the typical optimization.
