# Prismatic Cube Overview This is the Prismatic Cube, a high-synergy format expanding on familiar cube archetypes by introducing a significant twist to the traditional rules. For each game of Prismatic Cube, each player starts with an emblem that reads: >>>**"Lands you control have all five basic land types in addition to any other types. The same is true for land cards you own that aren’t on the battlefield."**<<< This means that every land can add {W}, {U}, {B}, {R}, or {G} and all lands are Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests. It takes **Prismatic Omen** and makes it apply to all lands in all zones! >>> [[!Prismatic Omen|a6989d1d-00ca-4d5d-acdc-0b7c6a522e30]] <<< This dramatically boosts the power level for specific cards while opening certain ones to previously inaccessible strategies! Note that for cards with additional abilities to make mana, that mana is **not** prismatic. This means that while Cabal Coffers can tap for all five colors, its Swamp-counting ability only produces {B} (but it now counts itself!). >>> [[!Cabal Coffers]] <<< ## Cross-Color Synergies Having access to all five colors opens up the entire Magic library to all strategies. For example, burn decks can now run these creatures as threats stapled to direct damage: >>><<[[!Meria's Outrider]][[!Radiant Epicure]][[!Siege Rhino]]>><<< These same burn decks even get their own countermagic to help close out the game: >>><<[[!Undermine|5957446f-ff3a-4bbb-a498-c95bc52eda84]][[!Ionize]][[!Deny the Witch]]>><<< They even get removal to help burn out the opponent! >>><<[[!Hit // Run]][[!Crackling Doom]][[!Invoke Despair]]>><<< ## Prismatic Lands In Prismatic Cube, lands become more accessible than ever thanks to their basic land types. For example, some spells and abilities can now find *any* land in your deck, including some that ramp by putting the lands directly into play! >>><<[[!Ruin Grinder]][[!Nature's Lore|a78584e8-bb82-4977-a27d-68b1befe9b3b]][[!Krosan Verge|7b5ca583-38f2-4692-a29c-326510be5bb8]]>><<< As for what lands to search up, there are many powerful ones worth pulling out of your library... >>><<[[!Dark Depths]][[!Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle]][[!Maze of Ith|5889fde1-730d-43d0-aaa4-499784a80530]]>><<< # Archtypes In addition to the multi-type land synergies, here are some of the overarching themes you can find in Prismatic Cube: **Big Mana Enablers**, to completely go over the top: >>><<[[!High Tide|babd2248-5517-4b7b-a159-9a1f7b5583c8]][[!Paradox Engine]][[!Nissa, Who Shakes the World]]>><<< **Big Mana Payoffs**, to sink all that mana into: >>><<[[!Bladecoil Serpent]][[!Villainous Wealth]][[!Genesis Wave]]>><<< **Giant creatures**, buffed by the availability of all basic land types: >>><<[[!Clay Champion]][[!Body of Research]][[!Jodah, the Unifier]]>><<< **Fast Aggro**, a broad theme of high power creatures that demand answers. >>><<[[!Wild Nacatl]][[!Territorial Kavu]][[!Lashwrithe]]>><<< **Big Spells**, made easy with the flexibility of mana and equal access of ramp. >>><<[[!Unite the Coalition]][[!Time Stretch|3c878780-f666-44ab-a60e-c9985f628fc3]][[!Mindslaver]]>><<< **Land Combos**, for you to make *every* land drop matter or just use a big turn to end your opponent. >>><<[[!Hedron Crab]][[!Dread Presence]][[!Scapeshift]]>><<< **Spells Matter**, now with access to all colors. Ramp spells can now go into your control decks! >>><<[[!Quandrix Apprentice]][[!Professor Onyx]][[!Jeskai Ascendancy]]>><<< **ETB Enablers**, to make sure you're always getting those triggers. >>><<[[!Soulherder]][[!Kaya, Ghost Assassin|e969921c-251a-4469-9578-e243d37dc9a7]][[!Yarok, the Desecrated]]>><<< **Graveyard**, playing with two hands rather than one. >>><<[[!Grim Flayer]][[!Splendid Reclamation]][[!Eerie Ultimatum]]>><<< **Tempo**, when you want all the cards and the fun. >>><<[[!Cold-Eyed Selkie]][[!Ertai Resurrected]][[!Kyodai, Soul of Kamigawa]]>><<< **Single-Card Combos**, cards that ask very little but provide lots. >>><<[[!Tromp the Domains]][[!Door to Nothingness]][[!Coalition Victory]]>><<< # Rounding Things Out In addition to all the new synergies with Prismatic Cube rules, we have a few atypical cards to round out your decks (and a few fun ones to take advantage of the cube environment): **Card Advantage** >>><<[[!Painful Truths]][[!Etched Monstrosity]][[!Wish]]>><<< **Removal** >>><<[[!Submerge]][[!Leyline Binding]][[!Vedalken Shackles]]>><<< **Counter Magic** >>><<[[!Thwart]][[!Evasive Action]][[!Temur Charm]]>><<< **Single Draw** >>><<[[!Invasion of Amonkhet]][[!Idol of Oblivion]][[!Chevill, Bane of Monsters]]>><<< **Board Wipes** >>><<[[!Child of Alara]][[!Themberchaud]][[!Engineered Explosives]]>><<< **Cube Fun** >>><<[[!Opening Ceremony]][[!Arcane Savant]][[!Canal Dredger]]>><<< **Typical Cards** Don't worry, Prismatic Cube is a new experience but there are many familiar cards present too: >>><<[[!Counterspell|0c9a7cb0-5bff-48ff-b620-2838816ac9b5]][[!Wrath of God|b969f680-b176-4bfa-a160-714de8e03c25]][[!Ponder]]>><<< >>><<[[!Dragon's Rage Channeler]][[!Eternal Witness]][[!Path to Exile]]>><<< # End Step Thank you for checking out my cube!
