>>> **Design Goals** <<< A) Encourages multicolor decks while still allowing for viable monocolor strategies. B) Comprises of multiple color-overlapping archetypes primarily arising from cards that synergize with two or more archetypes; without pigeon-holing the drafter into these predefined archetypes. Put negatively, minimizing the number of cards that only synergize well with one kind of deck or are 'parasitic'. >>> **Deviations from Cube Customs** <<< I) I break the singleton rule by including... 1) two copies of every dual-color fetchland and [[Prismatic Vista]]. This helps achieve goal A. 2) three copies of [[Birthing Pod]]. This helps achieve goal B as the mere inclusion of 3 copies of a single card opens up an entire archetype realizable in any color(s). II) I break the 'one card per pick' rule by considering... 1) [[Gisela, the Broken Blade]] and [[Bruna, the Fading Light]] a single pick. As Bruna is too low-powered to be worth a slot, this still makes it possible to have her in one's draft pool and guarantees the possibility of melding [[Brisela, Voice of Nightmares]] for the drafter. 2) several **Learn** cards a single pick with 2 corresponding **Lesson** cards. See 'Learn/Lesson Package' below for details. >>> **Learn/Lesson Package** <<< Each **Learn** card will come with 1 or 2 pre-determined **Lesson** cards in the same pick; they *must* stay in the sideboard. Below are the **Learn** cards with their corresponding **Lesson** Cards. *[[Professor of Symbology]]*: [[Academic Probation]] *[[Hunt for Specimens]]*: [[Necrotic Fumes]], [[Pest Summoning]] *[[Igneous Inspiration]]*: [[Spirit Summoning]] *[[Gnarled Professor]]*: [[Basic Conjuration]] >>> **Cube Archetype-Breakdown** <<< *Macro-Archetypes*: Aggro, Midrange, Control *Micro-Archetypes*: Tokens, Blink, Spellslinger, Birthing Pod >>> **Archetype Support by Color** <<< {W} *White*: Midrange, Control, Tokens, Blink, Spellslinger, Birthing Pod {U} *Blue*: Midrange, Control, Blink, Spellslinger, Birthing Pod {B} *Black*: Aggro, Midrange, Control, Tokens, Spellslinger, Birthing Pod {R} *Red*: Aggro, Midrange, Spellslinger, Birthing Pod {G} *Green*: Midrange, Tokens, Blink, Birthing Pod {W/U} *Azorius*: Control, Blink, Spellslinger {U/B} *Dimir*: Midrange, Control {B/R} *Rakdos*: Aggro, Midrange {R/G} *Gruul*: Midrange, Tokens {W/G} *Selesnya*: Midrange, Tokens {W/B} *Orzhov*: Control, Tokens {B/G} *Golgari*: Midrange, Tokens {U/G} *Simic*: Midrange, Birthing Pod {U/R} *Izzet*: Control, Spellslinger {W/R} *Boros*: Aggro, Spellslinger
