>>> ## 4th Edition + Chronicles Cube Designed 2018 - 2022 <<< 1. Design Overview 2. EDH Draft 3. Old School Tokens 4. Sample of Draft Archetypes and Mechanics >>> 🔥 _Recommended use of rule 300.3."Mana Burn" while playing the Cube_ 🔥 <<< #### Design Overview This format aims to be a budget alternative to popular nostalgic old school drafts, while also avoiding the use of the famous Power IX. Overall making it a more balanced drafting experience and allowing other powerful cards to shine; 4th edition and Chronicles both have original arts from *Alpha/Beta*, *Legends*, *Arabian Nights* and *The Dark*, while also being more affordable and balanced than those previous sets. Making the pairing of those sets one of the best old school drafts out there. __Why Chronicles?__ Chronicles was the first compilation set ever printed. It was not considered an official expansion, but an extension of Fourth Edition, so it's only logical for it to be paired with that core set; Additionally, Chronicles has some historical value, it being the set that "caused" the establishment of the infamous Reserved List due to it's reprints of cards like [[Nicol Bolas]] tanking the prices and upsetting many collectors at the time. #### EDH Draft ###### This cube can also be played as an old-school EDH Cube with 2-4 players: - You draft 4 booster packs of 15 cards each (with an obligatory Legend in each booster). - 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. - All cards in your deck have to follow your Commander’s color identity. - Staring life is 40. - Commander damage rule does apply. #### Old School Tokens ##### Download: https://imgur.com/a/I4gceff Special token cards were first printed for *Unglued*, in 1998. But the cube felt a little lifeless with cards like [[The Hive]] not having fitting tokens to be placed onto the battlefield. So I took the liberty of creating some tokens using *Magic Set Editor*, as well as some cards to serve as reminder text for unfamiliar mechanics/rules like Banding and Mana Burn. #### Sample of Draft Archetypes and Mechanics To aid as an introduction to the cube standard draft. ##### Mono White {W} <<[[!Swords to Plowshares|8bd501ae-5814-4336-a45b-2b88cb85d29e]][[!Armageddon|0794bc35-a8e1-4268-87b2-af5483ca6e5e]][[!Serra Angel|8072d00a-82ff-4406-bdf8-1af20cd3a170]][[!Balance|db3e219d-8e5e-44c7-97b3-2d489e2808b9]]>> ##### Mono Blue {U} <<[[!Control Magic|1bb371e5-424e-42dd-9966-732c22e8ece8]][[!Stasis|f3d29fed-248d-4547-9455-3d69b1f2787d]][[!Counterspell|e8493631-6c9c-40a8-b7de-ecf26ba6bf7d]][[!Prodigal Sorcerer|dc4e1161-5008-427f-a88e-5497a8eb84cd]]>> ##### Mono Black {B} <<[[!Mind Twist|bbb6765c-a052-46dc-a589-200b8ba8c99f]][[!Animate Dead|cc1dc456-1f64-4f24-a646-84c57e641b3b]][[!Dark Ritual|3477f601-5374-4316-a74e-b5e198af482b]][[!Hypnotic Specter|b5900350-be08-4904-8f1b-cc180ed08485]]>> ##### Mono Red {R} <<[[!Lightning Bolt|9521375e-0bc1-45ef-b513-6d332a25f9d2]][[!Stone Rain|b9029bfb-fcff-4f80-a423-c2cfdc881c61]][[!Shivan Dragon|70846483-9c23-42c4-9f9f-1fc5cda17c77]][[!Land's Edge|41798dd9-8ce8-4642-89c2-7356ea129d4e]]>> ##### Mono Green {G} <<[[!Birds of Paradise|b8852e36-204c-4b3a-a4f8-33a98548fa7b]][[!Channel|e42eb95f-638d-410c-a830-a414fb2494ec]][[!Sylvan Library|b1a9682c-ecca-4caa-9e5a-17874167082b]][[!Erhnam Djinn|d2d5bfa6-243f-4178-871b-f5a19b4024c1]]>> ##### Mud {X} <<[[!Urza's Tower|0fc0146c-3f85-4ed5-b37c-f1eeea04143d]][[!Mishra's Factory|aff8d4f1-eaad-4afb-9097-2afab133f707]][[!Triskelion|09294401-a895-4084-8302-196a946863d6]][[!Nevinyrral's Disk|d427396c-f1ef-46ac-b130-ed1e51e826a3]]>> ##### Zoo {W}{R}{G} <<[[!Savannah Lions|a2ee9127-d007-48e8-b797-88ef72bc7c8b]][[!Benalish Hero|fd204832-5f3b-4213-9c06-b89a296a9d47]][[!Primordial Ooze|dab748e8-5917-4c7f-8d5f-18dadcb82abe]][[!Ghazbán Ogre|85bcd723-780b-45ca-9476-d28270350013]]>> ##### Land Destruction {U}{B}{R} <<[[!Strip Mine|a5899b46-226b-4be6-8e80-d2396f54210d]][[!Psychic Venom|138db623-393d-485a-8fa8-f1b1b933fce5]][[!Blight|59365350-d149-4c0d-a08f-eabdfb7cce3d]][[!Stone Rain|b9029bfb-fcff-4f80-a423-c2cfdc881c61]]>> ##### Jund {B}{R}{G} <<[[!Xira Arien|21fa636b-8ce8-40b6-a4d0-3191a664bd92]][[!Terror|deb5d44d-977d-4d0d-8242-17c8ffa7247c]][[!Lightning Bolt|9521375e-0bc1-45ef-b513-6d332a25f9d2]][[!Erhnam Djinn|d2d5bfa6-243f-4178-871b-f5a19b4024c1]]>> ##### Walls {W}{U}{G} <<[[!Arcades Sabboth|d20a0b5a-2a04-4cce-83e4-2d65ef9399df]][[!Wall of Swords|18ffa85c-61c4-49b7-8946-ab353355a11c]][[!Wall of Vapor|309c1b2a-0230-4b66-84a0-32b8cd6d31eb]][[!Carnivorous Plant|6f449835-5e20-4244-b7f4-c22838910076]]>> ##### Big Mana {X}{R}{G} <<[[!Urza's Tower|0fc0146c-3f85-4ed5-b37c-f1eeea04143d]][[!Colossus of Sardia|063acc0f-8062-4461-b0f5-8c3a835e1fbf]][[!Fireball|afe078d7-cdde-44bb-942e-417123ebeccb]][[!Channel|e42eb95f-638d-410c-a830-a414fb2494ec]]>> ##### Dakkon {W}{U}{B} <<[[!Dakkon Blackblade|4874388e-0227-4b89-a986-d86c14482c81]][[!Land Tax|1301e203-7d9a-4735-8db3-7882ad70d343]][[!Flight|1867cb70-f615-4583-bf0b-fb1016209785]][[!Fear|126c1b02-01bd-4b70-9293-a89173b4cd32]]>> ##### Goblins {R} <<[[!Goblin King|92dd4aef-6d15-4d74-96cf-1cc51812b541]][[!Goblin Shrine|12711fa3-455d-498a-a1e9-881c62e9bb4f]][[!Goblin Balloon Brigade|866df71c-856c-451d-a11b-c2086c265868]][[!Orcish Oriflamme|56cc0d8b-2d4b-4c3b-a9af-b5fae35e6ec5]]>> ##### Erhnamgeddon {W}{G} <<[[!Armageddon|0794bc35-a8e1-4268-87b2-af5483ca6e5e]][[!Serra Angel|8072d00a-82ff-4406-bdf8-1af20cd3a170]][[!Llanowar Elves|75d972d7-5ed9-49c1-8d27-ec162771284d]][[!Erhnam Djinn|d2d5bfa6-243f-4178-871b-f5a19b4024c1]]>> ##### Disco Troll {B}{R} <<[[!Nevinyrral's Disk|d427396c-f1ef-46ac-b130-ed1e51e826a3]][[!Pestilence|90886a02-4c1f-48ea-8563-6d80c97d9f58]][[!Drudge Skeletons|d3d223d3-72c1-4240-9323-84484167c5e0]][[!Uthden Troll|28dea433-2dee-4faf-a868-6af664c6af4a]]>> ##### Mill {X}{W}{U} <<[[!Millstone|f16f7d28-1bc2-44b6-973b-c60d966101a6]][[!Howling Mine|a4df1be4-364e-4582-929a-05f2905f8ce6]][[!Island Sanctuary|c0eff4d1-4ce6-48b1-84ae-a95bd1d04d16]][[!Wall of Air|239435c8-3380-4556-9618-09fc0e40b69d]]>> ##### Vise Orb {X}{G} <<[[!Black Vise|196b83a1-2a25-498d-83b8-8faacd79909d]][[!Winter Orb|d60ee90d-5f7b-4294-8d52-9744fada8d36]][[!Fellwar Stone|6f7a41cc-277a-4d95-a30c-91bf5aa7ac11]][[!Titania's Song|19dd44e3-d62c-405d-a620-7dc871eef81c]]>> ##### Rack Control {X}{B} <<[[!The Rack|1e19104f-55d5-40e5-a61d-ddba2cf5a527]][[!Disrupting Scepter|fb9b9085-6dd7-44fc-b3a5-7f797c34f8dc]][[!Hypnotic Specter|b5900350-be08-4904-8f1b-cc180ed08485]][[!Royal Assassin|b2d51bdf-f118-4a1e-9060-bdf3c78697f2]]>> ##### Turbo Stasis {W}{U} <<[[!Kismet|f2381234-cf5a-4baf-89f9-cdec15557cf4]][[!Stasis|f3d29fed-248d-4547-9455-3d69b1f2787d]][[!Time Elemental|957fa561-d090-435d-a0da-f405edb7e591]][[!Recall|84b8de7a-c055-4031-a359-24526b6e6354]]>>
