An Innistrad Plane Cube built primarily from Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow, with some cards from the older Innistrad sets. Restrictions on card selection for this cube are as follows: - Thematic Coherency - Singleton - Innistrad Cards The last two of these rules may be broken, but only for good reasons. For example, some lands from non-Innistrad sets are included, and some are included multiple times. This cube in theory supports ten archetypes, one for each unique two-color combination. In practice however, two of these archetypes have weaker support than the others: {W}{R} and {U}{G}. This is primarily due to the cards and themes available in the Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow sets. The themes for these two color combinations were vague to begin with, and furthermore overlap significantly with other adjacent color pairs; {W}{R} wants many of the same aggressive creatures and spells as {B}{R}, and {U}{G} shares its "graveyard matters" theme with {B}{G}. It is entirely possible to build a strong deck using these colors, but it should be noted that there isn't as clear a theme or pay-off for them as for the others. The ten archetypes are listed below, each with a short description and some cards that are representative of this archetype. # {W} {U} Spirits Spirit tribal, with some enchantment synergy. Most creatures are fairly small, but can fly, which can be enough to overwhelm opponents. The Disturb mechanic allows many creatures to be cast from the graveyard in their flipped form, which is usually either a stronger creature or an enchantment. ## Pay-Off <<[[!Millicent, Restless Revenant]][[!/Katilda, Dawnhart Martyr]][[!de2b0c63-c929-42ec-aada-dddb2a26550c]]>> ## Core <<[[!Drogskol Captain]][[!/db791fb6-b0ff-4ded-bd3d-9447cf398312]][[!Rattlechains]][[!Phantom Carriage]]>> ## Base <<[[!/Dennick, Pious Apprentice]][[!/Beloved Beggar]][[!/a4d3652a-6774-4b16-aa8b-cb11d72ec7aa]][[!/36e71d16-0964-489d-bea2-9cec7991fc99]]>> # {U} {B} Zombies Zombie tribal and control spells.

Some generate [[Blood Tokens|Blood]] or benefit from having them, others benefit whenever opponents take damage. While this archetype can be very aggressive, there are also some more expensive cards that can provide value later in a game. ## Pay-Off <<[[!Anje, Maid of Dishonor]][[!Wedding Security]][[!Dominating Vampire]]>> # Core <<[[!Stromkirk Captain]][[!8b12c378-1103-4a50-88fa-cf5a2deef463]][[!Bloodline Keeper]][[!Falkenrath Celebrants]]>> # Base <<[[!f0192cf7-3391-4720-b9c8-72dec5dde01e]][[!Olivia's Bloodsworn]][[!Falkenrath Pit Fighter]][[!ae154e64-f626-45fb-bd52-840c1c27b2d3]]>> # {R} {G} Werewolves Werewolf tribal.
