Thanks for checking one of my cubes out! This is The Minors, an unpowered cube that is heavily focused on graveyard strategies and lots of tokens and counters!

Original companion rules are used.

Post-draft you may add 1 copy of Uncharted Haven to your deck.

Themes

uw Control

Keep your opponent at bay with Lapse of Certainty and Sublime Epiphany, while holding Supreme Verdict in hand just in case. Go a bit deeper into blue for powerful effects like Nexus of Fate.

ub Self-Mill

Fill up your graveyard with Master of Death, Pack Rat, and Careful Study, then win on the spot with Jace, Wielder of Mysteries or Thassa's Oracle.

br Sacrifice

Use your Priest of Forgotten Gods to sac Orzhov Enforcer with Spiteful Prankster and Judith, the Scourge Diva in play. Bring him back with Unearth.

rg Tokens

Build an army with Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin and Imperious Perfect, then back them up with token generating planeswalkers like Xenagos, the Reveler. Splash white and lock down the game with Glare of Subdual.

gw Counters

Drop an early Hardened Scales to compliment your Good-Fortune Unicorn, then make everything huge with Mikaeus, the Lunarch.

wb Reanimator

Cast Spirit-Sister's Call or use white reanimation(!) like Late to Dinner to bring Sling-Gang Lieutenant to the field early. Not big enough? Grab a Massacre Wurm or Akroma, Angel of Wrath instead.

ur Draw Matters

Everyone loves drawing cards. Ponder and Faithless Looting are powerful on their own. Add in a Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind or Nadir Kraken and there's no stopping you.

bg Dredge

Lay some eggs with Stinkweed Imp and Golgari Grave-Troll, then hatch a monstrous Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis or start a Spider Spawning.

rw Go Wide

Get some unlikely friends on the board with Winota, Joiner of Forces and Hallowed Spiritkeeper, then make them unstoppable with Hero of Oxid Ridge and Purphoros, God of the Forge.

gu Flash

Make your opponents turn miserable with Arcane Denial, Frilled Mystic and Nightpack Ambusher. Add in a Seedborn Muse and they may as well pass.

Other themes: Go mad with Anje's Ravager, Archfiend of Ifnir, and Surly Badgersaur. Combo off with Tainted Pact, Melira, Sylvok Outcast, or Altar of Dementia. Give in to Gobbos with Krenko, Mob Boss and Goblin Rabblemaster. Fight back with Elves like Elvish Archdruid and Rhys the Redeemed, or ramp them into huge threats like Ghalta, Primal Hunger. Use your tokens for ill intent with Attrition, Intruder Alarm, and Earthcraft. Win the long way with Approach of the Second Sun. Polymorph your 1/1 into Yidaro, Wandering Monster.

My general rule is to use as many different cards as possible between my five cubes, while maintaining an interesting draft/play experience. My cubes can be viewed here:
