>>> ### TREASURE CUBE <<< Originally, I made this cube with cards that were sitting in my bulk box plus things sitting in my trade binder, which had been there for some time. I got sad looking at some of my favorite cards sitting around doing nothing. After sifting through bulk to find more playables, what is now the Treasure Cube was born. The cube seeks to be a powerful, quick experience for veteran and unexperienced drafters. As such, you won't find crazy infinite combos or storm piles here.* However, this cube contains a plethora of powerful and iconic cards, coupled with favorites of mine from limited formats of the distant past--cards that I *treasure*, if you will. >>> ### Archetypes <<< Archetypes are *a bit* loose. What is below is a good suggestion on where to go with different two-color combinations, but that doesn't mean there isn't support for other playstyles in those colors. Furthermore, there are (currently) no three-color cards, but that doesn't mean you can't play those color combinations. {W}{U} - Blink - Flicker your creatures in order to abuse their powerful enter the battlefield triggers and control the flow of the game {U}{B} - Control - With powerful counterspells, removal, and discard, stop your opponents from playing Magic {B}{R} - Graveyard Aggro - Utilizing powerful early game threats and recursion, quickly reduce your opponent's life total to 0 so you can go get a snack in between rounds {R}{G} - Stompy Monsters - Ramp into and cast/build explosive threats that can punch through any defenses {G}{W} - Tokens - Using manadorks, lifegain enablers, and token generators, stay alive until you can amass enough creatures to win {W}{B} - Death and Taxes - Control the flow of the game by playing creatures and wraths that slow down your opponent's gameplan until you can get the upper hand {U}{R} - Spellslinger - Creatures not your thing? Do you enjoy doing math? Cast a bunch of instants and sorceries to trigger powerful abilities and maybe storm off in the process {B}{G} - Reanimator - Putting cards into your graveyard can be a good thing! Reanimate game-ending threats without paying your fair share {R}{W} - Aggro/Burn - Don't worry about your opponent's expensive spells, after a few burn spells and aggressive, efficient creatures they will never have a chance to cast them {G}{U} - Tempo - Flash in your threats and answer everything your opponent throws at you with something better until they run out of steam *There are *TWO* infinite combos, and they are both Kiki-Jiki-based classics: <<[[!Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker]] [[!Zealous Conscripts]]>> <<[[!Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker]] [[!Restoration Angel]]>> For newer drafters, here are some of the highest-valued first picks in the cube by color: <<[[!Palace Jailer]][[!Force of Will]][[!Orcish Bowmasters]][[!Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer]][[!Pest Infestation]][[!Smuggler's Copter]][[!Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes]][[!Oko, Thief of Crowns]]>>
