Cheap Cube

Art by Bram Sels
Inspired by cube products such as the Star City Games Starter Cube (no longer sold, sadly), I've set out to build the best trade-off of (in order):
- Cheapest
- "Traditional Cube"-feeling draft and play experience
- Highest-power overall power-level without insane outliers
- Longest-term value vs. starting point (i.e. the cost invested in this cube will have long-term playability for someone who buys it)
My personal inspirations for creating and maintaining this cube are:
- My desire to make an accessible starter cube for folks who probably have some collection, but maybe not a super deep one
- My realization as to how much a subset of really fun and really good Magic cards have been reprinted (often multiple times) in commander and supplemental products to the point where their prices are very low.
The overall cost of the cube currently sits at $127 (circa FDN Release). This is ~$15-20 higher than the cube has historically targeted in price, but reflects a recent update to significantly improve the overall quality of the cards in the cube. While this is more expensive than I'd like, I still think this list packs the most traditional "Cube" play experience into a relatively tidy budget.
