It is based off the MTGO cube, but has several differences:
- There are no flex slots for new cards. There is only room for purely the best cards of each archetype, and weaker cards will always get cut in favor of more powerful options.
- All basic lands in this cube are snow. This is simply to enable cards like Arcum's Astrolabe and Ice-Fang Coatl, in addition to any future snow cards.
- There are some notable exclusions (Bazaar of Baghdad, Mishra's Workshop) due to budget. I hope to fill these in slowly over time.
- There are several more combos (Heliod, Sun-Crowned + Walking Ballista, Dark Depths + Thespian’s Stage / Vampire Hexmage) as powerful finishers in midrange / agro decks.
Fun Things:
- Land Signing: Every draft involves some signing of basic lands. Each one should be dated and have the archetype drafted.
- Forest: First time drafters get to sign a forest 🌱
- Plains: 3-0 drafters get to sign a plains for their first 3-0 💪 (Only on drafts with an 8-player Swiss bracket)
- Swamp: 0-3 drafters get to sign a plains for their first 0-3 💩 (Only on drafts with an 8-player Swiss bracket)
- Island: Earned for each bounty you win 🤓 (See below)
- Mountain: Go the distance and 3-0 with a certifiable jank pile. The table must vote on this ⚡️
- 👑🤴👸
- We have a 🧠 trophy for particularly small-brain plays.
- Includes copies of all tokens needed for the cube.
