This cube combines the history of the plane of Innistrad with the structure and format of *Commander Legends*. It'll primarily use cards from across the sets of Innistrad, as well as pull from sets that feature Innistrad in their cards. Currently using https://cubecobra.com/cube/overview/1sr7d as a tracker for the Commanders. # The Boosters Commander Legends Booster Breakdown (20 cards each): - 13 commons - 3 uncommons - 1 foil (any rarity). Maybe replace with land? - 1 rare/mythic - 2 legendaries Assuming 24 packs: - Commons: 312 - Uncommons: 72 - "Foils": 24 - Rares/Mythics: 24 - Legendaries: 48 Which comes out to 480 cards. # The Cube OLD 450 Card Breakdown: - 60 cards of each color - 8 cards of each color pairing - 40 colorless cards - 30 non-basic lands This will be updated to account for the 480 card minimum cube size. # Deckbuilding Commander Legends Deckbuilding Rules: - You draft 3 booster packs of 20 cards each - You pick two cards with each pick - Your deck size is 60 - One of the legendary creatures that you draft is your Commander and will start in the Command Zone (You can have two Commanders if both have partner) - All cards in your deck have to follow your Commander’s color identity - ~~You can have multiples of the same card in your deck~~ This will be a singleton cube - ~~If you don’t have appropriate Commander you can use The Prismatic Piper~~ See Errata for a new rule - Usually you’ll play a game in a 4-person pod - Staring life is 40 - Commander damage rule does apply # Errata >>> ## Patron <<< If you select only one Legendary Creature to be your Commander, you may select an additional Legendary Creature to run as your "Patron." Your Patron cannot be played over the course of the matches. Your Patron's color identity can only be different from your Commander's by one color. For example, if you're running a Blue-Red Commander, you're Patron cannot be Green-White. Your Patron adds a single color to your decks' color identity. **Example:** During the drafting portion, you drafted [[Eloise, Nephalia Sleuth|bf81da34-4c2b-4e54-a60b-46ab41f72431]], [[Elmar, Ulvenwald Informant|95d197b3-fc56-43a2-981f-b5b905222b5c]], and [[The Gitrog Monster|5790dd89-2be5-4a77-9450-2d3c1422bfc9]]. You want to run Eloise as your Commander, and would like access to Green in your deck. You may select Eloise as your Commander. Since you'll have one Commander, you may select a Patron. Elmar's color identity include two different colors than Eloise's, so you cannot select him as your Patron. The Gitrog Monster is only different by one color, so you may select the Monster as your Patron. *Designer's Notes: This is meant to be a functional alternative to [[The Prismatic Piper]]. It is intended to capture the flavor of an individual on Innistrad forming a Cult around another being.* >>> ## Partners <<< The following creatures would be errata'ed to have Partner: - [[Rhoda, Geist Avenger|c434e774-c908-46b9-ba18-52e1efe092de]] - [[Timin, Youtful Geist|a3d4102e-b48c-4da8-b181-092c7ab1849a]] - [[Kamber, the Plunderer|c2e932f7-1a72-44e7-89f7-b853eada74f0]] - [[Laurine, the Diversion|909b3afa-a836-4b8a-9ceb-67559fe42420]] - [[Hargilde, Kindly Runechanter|59e1fa94-056a-4570-97b3-17e964077965]] - [[Elmar, Ulvenwald Informant|95d197b3-fc56-43a2-981f-b5b905222b5c]] - [[Othelm, Sigardian Outcast|b867fb22-4f2a-47aa-9432-1bcc5e731947]] - [[Wernog, Rider's Chaplain|39491011-bdf6-4e61-8534-fe26c1571f8f]] - [[Bjorna, Nightfall Alchemist|83b0b716-bcb0-4044-b64a-354e3cbbd563]] - [[Sophina, Spearsage Deserter|e0a64924-068e-483f-91a6-d450b67b3c75]] - [[Cecily, Haunted Mage|a09ffd51-8ea4-40a6-b64e-58f3acfee533]] For posterity, here are the other creatures that already have Partner: - [[Halana, Kessig Ranger|90c51949-b1ef-4c6e-98b0-4fb33a81db24]] - [[Alena, Kessig Trapper|6bee6eb2-2708-4596-86ad-40eea88dbb6b]] - [[Ludevic, Necro-Alchemist|f3e7a886-2593-4e6e-b9da-d7cb417cba08]] - [[Kraum, Ludevic's Opus|557fcd17-6cb3-414a-b2b1-ea9ae32e5aec]] >>> ## Daybound <<< All Werewolf creatures will be treated as if they have Daybound (replacing their existing rules for Transforming). # Draft Archtypes Each two color pairing will have a tribe and a mechanic tied to it.
