>>>> # Welcome + About Cube <<< Welcome! I'm ZeldaExplorer and this is my paper 360 card singleton peasant cube that I been working on since 2017. I try to update it as regularly as a I can with each new set that comes out. I also have laid out some specific goals for the cube, these being: 1. I want to create a reasonably powerful and synergistic environment that includes many powerful uncommons and commons without including swingy cards like [[Sol Ring]], [[Mana Drain]], and [[Wasteland]] and similar cards. I don't like the gameplay those card promote and I instead want to push the power level to prioritize cards like [[Cloudgoat Ranger]], [[Mulldrifter]], [[Shriekmaw]], [[Eternal Witness]], [[Flametongue Kavu]], [[Baleful Strix]], and [[Grafted Wargear]]. A few more notable high power inclusions I have included are [[Hymn to Tourach]], [[Path to Exile]], [[Swords to Plowshares]], [[Lightning Bolt]], and [[Animate Dead]]. 2. I want to find balance between [[2|35d9da1d-8678-4252-b0f8-9960795642f0]] [[for 1|e0fed1e5-fcbd-4597-91b5-ba809571573b]] [[effects|21a3f8d6-80ff-4292-871e-e19907841448]], and cards [[that|219577e6-758a-4135-9a8d-f95df964137a]] [[encourage|7d251846-7aa5-4318-a96b-fbd9daf691f9]] [[drafting|0a19da90-880e-4eca-8cf7-6d7baf090d53]] [[decks|a2cda10b-7cd5-4cf5-87bd-c3b8c6aa2b47]]. This way people are drafing decks, instead of just a pile of good cards. 3. I also want to support aggressive decks well in the cubea and have attempted to do so by breaking the Peasant restriction for better lands: the [[painlands|d75b4559-8946-45bb-a580-318a13d1e89e]] cycle, the [[Snarls|2734f816-2065-4741-a5c4-be9a7ebfae8f]]/[[Shadows|d15c035d-1309-4286-a758-07517f323f34]] cycle and [[Fabled Passage]]. Better mana will lead to more fun games. ___________________________________________________________________________ >>>> # Color Pairs <<< > >>>> {G}{W} Selesnya {G}{W} <<< <<[[!Good-Fortune Unicorn]][[!Spectral Procession]][[!Call of the Herd]][[!Rishkar, Peema Renegade]]>> Green-White here typically is looking to play a midrangey go-wide style deck that utilizes tokens as well as +1+1 counters. You can grow your token army or one really big creature to quickly outrace anything else on the battlefield! > >>>> {W}{U} Azorius {W}{U} <<< <<[[!Soulherder]][[!Cloudkin Seer]][[!Cloudgoat Ranger]][[!Ephemerate]]>> Blue-White here is going to often look like a blink deck playing and rebuying enters the battlefield creatures for extra value. Though if drafting a "blink deck" isn't possible, you can always go for a tempo or control build. > >>>> {B}{W} Orzhov {B}{W} <<< <<[[!Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim]][[!Lingering Souls]][[!Hypnotic Specter]][[!Path to Exile]]>> Black-White here is mostly going to a midrange controlling deck that uses a combination of tokens, removal, and hand disruption to tear your opponent's battlefield to pieces. Nothing too fancy here, just good ol' Orzhov doing its thing. > >>>> {R}{B} Rakdos {R}{B} <<< <<[[!Judith, the Scourge Diva]][[!Carrion Feeder]][[!Anax, Hardened in the Forge]][[!Act of Treason]]>> Red-Black here is more often than not going to be a deck focused around sacrificing creatures for value. You can also go for a traditional aggro or midrange build too. > >>>> {U}{G} Simic {U}{G} <<< <<[[!Pelakka Wurm]][[!Thryx, the Sudden Storm]][[!Tatyova, Benthic Druid]][[!Tireless Provisioner]]>> Blue-Green here usually wants to be a slow value-oriented midrange build wanting to ramp into high cost spells and run lots of sweet value engines. Not only that, but you can also build a pretty scary tempo build here too. > >>>> {R}{G} Gruul {R}{G} <<< <<[[!Ruby, Daring Tracker]][[!Elvish Mystic]][[!Charging Monstrosaur]][[!Surrak, the Hunt Caller]]>> Red-Green here is most of the time going to be a midrange ramp deck looking to curve out with cheap mana ramp into large efficient creatures. You can also take a more aggressive approach here as well. > >>>> {U}{B} Dimir {U}{B} <<< <<[[!Thought Erasure]][[!Waker of Waves]][[!The Eldest Reborn]][[!Sinister Sabotage]]>> Here, Blue-Black is going to be a tempo/control deck with some graveyard synergy. There is plenty of reanimation effects in you can combine with discard effects to get creatures out much earlier than expected. > >>>> {G}{B} Golgari {G}{B} <<< <<[[!Akawalli, the Seething Tower]][[!Satyr Wayfinder]][[!Vile Entomber]][[!Eternal Witness]]>> Most of the time, Black-Green will be your typical midrange deck that also utilizes the graveyard. You can mill your cards and then easily bring them back later as though they never left to begin with. > >>>> {U}{R} Izzet {U}{R} <<< <<[[!Young Pyromancer]][[!Electrolyze]][[!Tolarian Terror]][[!Lightning Bolt]]>> Blue-Red decks are most of the time going to be tempo-aggressive decks that care about casting lots of instant and sorcery spells. Here you will find most of the cube's cheap card draw effects, so make sure to prioritize them if you end up in this pair. > >>>> {R}{W} Boros {R}{W} <<< <<[[!Heroic Reinforcements]][[!Clarion Spirit]][[!Goblin Banneret]][[!Subira, Tulzidi Caravanner]]>> Red-White will be the most traditional aggressive pairing in the cube. You also will also find lots of token pump effects to help push them through. > >>>> {R/G}{W/B}{G/W} Persist Combo {R/G}{W/B}{G/W} <<< <<[[!Kitchen Finks]][[!Murderous Redcap]][[!Rhythm of the Wild]][[!Good-Fortune Unicorn]]>> <<[[!Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit]]>> Lastly, you can assemble a slightly fragile, but definitely doable infinite combo. Here you'll want to snag three pieces: a sac outlet, a card that adds +1+1 counters, and a persist creature. ENJOY! ___________________________________________________________________________
