The main idea of this cube is to invoke the feeling of playing Modern and Legacy during the mid-2010s. Before FIRE design, those formats were so fun. Every card felt (reasonably!) powerful and made an impact on the board or the story of the game. Every card felt good to play and good to play against. Every turn was exciting and surprising. Even the constant threat of instant combo wins felt right and weirdly fair, because finding the exact right opening to combo off (or to stop your opponent from combo-ing off) took work and was a vital part of the game. This is a nostalgia-fueled endeavor, and I'm okay with that!

As such, this cube is unpowered, best described as Legacy+ (there are a couple of Un-cards, playtest cards, and a small handful of fun Vintage cards), and highly curated to make every card feel powerful in context. Cards printed after about 2018 are included very sparsely.


This is a developing description and list as it is being shifted away from origins as a typical unpowered cube.
