# Cube Rules >>> ### Drafting <<< You draft three boosters of 20 cards, picking two cards at once. If you are less than four players, play sealed with six boosters per person. >>> ### Building<<< Decks must be 60 cards including the commander(s). To prevent drafting of common fixing lands, one copy of each of the ten tap-dual lands from Kamigawa Neon Dynasty (e.g., [[Blossoming Sands|d290ec6b-15a6-49e8-abd2-b8c4d0f556eb]]) as well as [[Uncharted Haven]] will be available to each player when building a deck. >>> ### Partner Addition <<< Each legendary permanent has "Partner with legend that does not share a color in it's color identity" when choosing commander(s). For example, [[Kyodai, Soul of Kamigawa]] cannot partner with any other legendary creature, as its color identity is {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}. You could however choose both Yamazaki sisters: >>><<[[!Heiko Yamazaki, the General]][[!Norika Yamazaki, the Poet]]>><<< >>> ### The Kami War <<< [[The Kami War]] (turning into [[O-Kagachi Made Manifest]]) can be your commander. >>><<[[!The Kami War]]>><<< ## Draft Archetypes >>> ### Common Lots of different commanders that synnergize with cards in cube (>40 cards per archetype) #### {W}{B}{R} Samurai <<[[!Isshin, Two Heavens as One]][[!Oathkeeper, Takeno's Daisho]]>> #### {R}{G} Modified <<[[!Chishiro, the Shattered Blade]][[!Walking Skyscraper]]>> #### {W}{U}{B}{R}{G} Spirits & Arcane Spells <<[[!Oyobi, Who Split the Heavens]][[!Long-Forgotten Gohei]]>> #### {U}{B} Ninjas <<[[!Higure, the Still Wind]][[!Sai of the Shinobi]]>> <<< >>> ### Niche More niche archetypes, that rely on a strong partner commander (number in table are cards in cube supporting archetype) | Vehicles | Rats | Bushido | Shamans | | :----------: | :----------: | :----------: | :----------: | | {W}{U}({B}) | {B} | {W}{R} | {B}{R}{G} | | 16 | 20 | 22 | 20 | <<[[!Greasefang, Okiba Boss]][[!Marrow-Gnawer|72e4548b-c171-4f10-b896-af37543dcf0f]][[!Takeno, Samurai General]][[!Sachi, Daughter of Seshiro]]>> <<< >>> ### Unique Commanders are unique and payoff is only possible with a clear focus on synergizing cards (number in table are cards in cube supporting archetype) | Sagas | Snakes | | :----------: | :----------: | | {W}{G} | {G} | | 20 | 23 | <<[[!Satsuki, the Living Lore]][[!Seshiro the Anointed]]>> <<< #### Tribes with Patron Spirit Patrons have '[Type] offering', where a creature of the given type can be sacrificed to reduce the cost of the patron by the mana cost of the sacrificed creature (numbers in table are cards in cube of respective creature type). | Fox | Moonfolk | Rat | Goblin | Snake | | :----------: | :----------: | :----------: | :----------: | :----------: | | {W} | {U} | {B} | {R} | {G} | | 10 | 13 | 20 | 14 | 21 | [[Patron of the Kitsune]]|[[Patron of the Moon]]|[[Patron of the Nezumi]]|[[Patron of the Akki]]|[[Patron of the Orochi]] #### Shrines There are a total of 15 shrines in the cube which can reach insane power when drafted, however they require a good commander pair (or a WUBRG commander) to achieve this power.
