It's great. __Why should I build this cube?__ * Not having to worry about mana requirements allows for much more interesting and complex archetypes. For example, something like [[Fiery Justice]] is a great control card but its not one that is the right colors for most control decks for cube. * You get access to a wide range of non-basics that make people less likely to flood out. There's almost always something to do with your mana. * Getting to play with powerful cards you probably have never been able to utilize before because of weird color or land requirements (e.g. [[Breya, Etherium Shaper]], [[Rushwood Legate]], [[Kaya's Wrath]]) * This cube is a great combination of being easy to draft in a basic way, but hard to master. You will never not have enough playables because you can literally play every card in the cube in every deck. But, mastering the subtleties of each archetypes and the little ways cards interact with each other is very hard! * Because you will always have enough playables, it's a great cube for things like Winston draft, Sealed or just picking up a stack of cards and playing. __Would it work with X, Y, or Z theme?__ Sure, go for it. My cube doesn't have a specific theme (although it does have specific archetypes) but you could definitely make a themed cube with this same rules set. Something like combo cube would work great with this rule set. __How do [[Learn/Lesson|Professor of Symbology]] [[cards|Eyetwitch]] work in this cube? Do you have to draft the lessons?__ You do not! Every learn card comes with access to a "lesson board" with every lesson that has been printed. __I bet [[Carpet of Flowers]] and [[Last Stand]] would be great in this cube! Why aren't they in?__ They were. They were way too good. #### Supported archetypes (and example cards) Below is a list of the archetypes that the cube specifically supports. I'm sure there are plenty more niche archetypes that could be created though! ____ >>>**+1/+1 Counters** <<[[!Winding Constrictor]] [[!Hardened Scales]] [[!Oath of Ajani]]>> **Planeswalker Tribal** <<[[!Carth The Lion]] [[!Oath of Ajani]] [[!Atraxa, Praetors' Voice]]>> **Storm** <<[[!High Tide]][[!Kykar, Wind's Fury]][[!Titans' Nest]]>> **Birthing Pod** <<[[!Birthing Pod]][[!Prime Speaker Vannifar]][[!Geralf's Messenger]]>> **Blink** <<[[!Ephemerate]][[!Soulherder]][[!Panharmonicon]]>> **Winota** <<[[!Winota, Joiner of Forces]][[!Breya, Etherium Shaper]][[!Tovolar's Huntmaster]]>> **Tokens** <<[[!Chatterfang, Squirrel General]][[!Queen Allenal of Ruadach]][[!Sweep the Skies]]>> **Creature Untap Aura Combo** <<[[!Pemmin's Aura]][[!Freed From the Real]][[!Bloom Tender]]>> **Creature sacrifice combos** <<[[!Kitchen Finks]][[!Grumgully, the Generous]][[!Saffi Eriksdotter]]>> **Creature Lifegain Combos** <<[[!Spike Feeder]][[!Heliod, Sun-Crowned]][[!Walking Ballista]]>> **Twin Combo** <<[[!Splinter Twin]][[!Pestermite]][[!Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker]]>> **Saheeli Combo** <<[[!Saheeli Rai]][[!Felidar Guardian]][[!Liquimetal Torque]]>> **Dark Depths combo** <<[[!Dark Depths]][[!Thespian's Stage]][[!Trigger Happy]]>> **Big Lands** <<[[!Arbor Elf]][[!Cabal Coffers]][[!Cloudpost]]>> **Cheating out big spells** <<[[!Mizzix's Mastery]][[!Arcane Savant]][[!Magma Opus]]>> **Cheat Artifacts** <<[[!Bolas's Citadel]][[!Tinker]][[!Shape Anew]]>> **Lands** <<[[!Life From The Loam]][[!Crop Rotation]][[!Lord Windgrace]]>> **Stax** <<[[!Braids, Cabal Minion]][[!Crucible of Worlds]][[!Strip Mine]]>> **Artifacts Matter/Sacrifice** <<[[!Breya's Apprentice]][[!Breya, Etherium Shaper]][[!Tolarian Academy]]>> **Polymorph** <<[[!Reality Scramble]][[!Griselbrand]][[!Bitterblossom]]>> **Scapeshift** <<[[!Scapeshift]][[!Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle]][[!Field of the Dead]]>> **Aristocrats** <<[[!Bloodghast]][[!Goblin Bombardment]][[!Mayhem Devil]]>> **Draw-7 Combos** <<[[!Timetwister]][[!Leovold, Emissary of Trest]][[!Narset, Parter of Veils]]>> **Shallow Grave Reanimator** <<[[!Shallow Grave]][[!Griselbrand]][[!Loyal Retainers]]>> **Cheat fatties** <<[[!Fist of Suns]][[!Flash]][[!Sneak Attack]]>> **Graveyard matters** <<[[!Deep Analysis]][[!Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath]][[!Satyr Wayfinder]]>> **Discard matters** <<[[!Rielle, the Everwise]][[!Toluz, Clever Conductor]][[!Currency Converter]]>> **Legendary matters** <<[[!Mox Amber]][[!Esika, God of the Tree]][[!Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful]]>> **Multicolored matters** <<[[!General Ferrous Rokiric]][[!Hero of Precinct One]][[!Niv-Mizzet Reborn]]>> **Pure Aggro** <<[[!Tribal Flames]][[!Rushwood Legate]][[!Wild Nacatl]]>> **Pure Control** <<[[!Fiery Justice]][[!Mystic Confluence]][[!Massacre]]>> **Midrange good stuff** <<[[!Scion of Draco]][[!Gideon, Ally of Zendikar]][[!Vindicate]]>> **Ramp** <<[[!Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary]][[!Timeless Lotus]][[!Craterhoof Behemoth]]>> **Invasion of Alara** <<[[!Invasion of Alara]][[!Vampire Hexmage]][[!Felidar Guardian]]>> <<< ##### My Card Choice Philosophy For This Cube * When choosing between two cards with similar effects and power level, I choose the one that is more interesting and/or the one that wouldn't get played in most cubes because of mana requirements (e.g. [[Bringer of the Blue Dawn]], [[Esper Charm]]) * I try to use as many cards cards that require choices when possible ([[Izzet Charm]], [[Aether Channeler]]) * For archetype-specific cards, I try to use ones that fit into more than one archetype if possible (e.g. [[Abzan Ascendancy]], [[Oath of Ajani]]) * I try to avoid cards that are powerful but generally lead to uninteresting games ([[True-Name Nemesis]], [[Pack Rat]]). The nature of this cube means there are more than enough extremely powerful cards to choose from that are more interesting. * Part of the fun of this cube is being able to play lots of utility lands so I try to avoid any cards that punish people for playing non-basics (e.g. [[Price of Progress]]). [[Wasteland]] is a key exception to this rule but its important to other decks so it stays. I do allow for cards like [[Ghost Quarter]] and [[Tectonic Edge]] which I consider to be more answers to powerful non-basics. * I'm willing to include doubles of a card if I think its a key piece to an interesting archetype and there really aren't any great replacements for it (e.g. [[Winota, Joiner of Forces]])
