Cloned from [Way Too Hybrid](/c/d369ae9c-f042-4f19-8073-886de27c88ec) >>># {W/U} {U/B} Way Too Hybrid {U/R} {R/W} # {B/R} {R/G} {B/G} {G/U} *Based on my original 4 player version: [Shadowmoor Didn't Go Far Enough](/c/hybrid)* {G/W} {W/B} >>>#### *This cube will be in the main event of Cubecon 2024!* <<< >>><<[[!Picnic Ruiner]][[!Figure of Destiny]][[!Fire // Ice]][[!Valentin, Dean of the Vein]][[!Bladecoil Serpent]][[!Damn]][[!Cut // Ribbons]][[!Colossal Skyturtle]]>><<< An "All hybrid cube" where nearly every card can be played in either or two colors. This includes split cards, adventures, MDFCs, and of course cards with traditional hybrid mana. Reading draft signals, and even just figuring out what colors you're in can be quite a trip as a result, so buckle in. >>><<[[!Yorion, Sky Nomad]][[!Gyruda, Doom of Depths]][[!Obosh, the Preypiercer]][[!Jegantha, the Wellspring]][[!Kaheera, the Orphanguard]][[!Lurrus of the Dream-Den]][[!Lutri, the Spellchaser]][[!Umori, the Collector]][[!Zirda, the Dawnwaker]][[!Keruga, the Macrosage]]>><<< This cube contains all ten companions, and has one rules modification: _**Companions use the original companion rules.**_ So you may cast your companion for their printed cost from your sideboard at any time it would normally be legal to do so. Companions are very strong, and you should try to draft one if possible. It's worth noting that unlike the others, [[Kaheera, the Orphanguard]] is not particularly well supported and will require you to draft a largely creatureless deck to run it. Some things to keep in mind while drafting: - Due to the nature of the card pool, there are a lot of power outliers in this cube, so do try to follow the power when you can. - Hogaak and Deathrite are not really among those power outliers. Their fine. - Don't be afraid to draft monocolored just because everything looks very colorful. Nearly 40% of the cube is available to you as a monocolored deck, and snagging just a few fixing lands can give you access to off-color halves of your cards at very little cost. - Decks running many colors should be more cautious than normal about how many colored pips are on their spells as color requirements can be quite intense. - Fixing lands consist of three cycles of pathways, two cycles of shadowmoor filters, and one cycle of thriving lands. Filters are excellent for casting pip-heavy spells and as such are at a premium here, and pathways are valuable for being a low commitment way to splash in monocolored decks. - There are multiple copies of many cards, so Lutri isn't *quite* free to companion. - Split cards, including those with aftermath, have the combined mana value of all their constituent sides. This is important for meeting companion restrictions. (Notably, [[Fire // Ice]], [[Bind // Liberate]]. and [[Who // What // When // Where // Why]] are not legal in a Jegantha deck due to duplicate numerical symbols. Yes, I agree that's absurd.) - Split cards have both names of their constituent sides, this means that [[Fire // Ice]] and [[Start // Fire]] can't be in the same Lutri deck. - Adventure cards and MDFCs have the characteristics of only their default mode for determining companion legality. For MDFCs this is their front face. For adventures this is the creature spell. >>>## Notable Synergies<<< >>>*Note that despite symbols denoting general tendencies in color distributions, most themes are present across many or even all colors.
