New Semester = New Decks for my Students
Last school year I began making my cube into a set for 10 pre-built decks for students of mine to use. This is my 3rd set of decks, and I wanted to make them overlap more than I had previously. The decks are:
WU Artifacts
UB Reanimate
BR Madness
RG Bloodrush
GW Convoke
WB Rebels
UR Fliers
BG Morbid
RW Equipment
GU Eldrazi
The overlaps among decks are:
Artifacts-Equipment
Equipment-Bloodrush
Reanimate-Madness-Morbid
Convoke-Rebels-Morbid
Fliers-Convoke
Morbid-Eldrazi
Eldrazi-Reanimate
My hope with this set of decks is that they will function as 10 separate entities, while still keeping the cube draftable.
Ever since starting this cube in 2012, it's been used for Draft or Sealed among friends. The pandemic interrupted that, so I haven't been able to Draft the cube for years. Despite that, I made an update to the cube when Cube Tutor went down and I moved the list here.
This past year, I started a new teaching position wherein I found out a few of my students had begun playing Magic Arena. I introduced them to my cube via pre-built decks aligning with the 10 draft archetypes. After several weeks of them playing games, I updated it with the first new cards I've bought in a couple years. I wanted to include a BR Dash archetype, but could only make it work by including Uncommon cards for the first time.
