Recommendation for cube introduction
Winston draft is an easy way to explain a little and talk about the cards in the cube for an easier introduction to the format.
The cube all in all is very evenly distributed.
Creature count is at 51% except White (at 58%).
Landfalls (at 9 per colour) is evenly distributed across all colours as are:
Kickers, Multikickers, Allies, Traps, Landfall instants and Zendikons.
Exceptions are pump allies which are about double represented in W and G.
The other exception is Novablast worm which is G/W and the only true multicoloured card and very powerful board wipe.
Lastly White is the only colour wihtout a planeswalker.
The cube has also an atypical high land count (twice that of a colour) to accomodate the two-for-one effect of landfall.
