I also removed cards that rarely get played, like the vanilla commons ([[Spined Karok]]) and bad limited rares ([[Ecological Appreciation]]). I tried sticking to the flavor of Strixhaven as much as possible, using the cards from C21 and MOM based on Arcavios ([[Pest Infestation]], [[Invasion of Arcavios]], [[Quintorius, Loremaster]]). *For Lorehold*, I leaned into the designer's original vision for the deck (controlling with spirit and graveyard synergies) offering some additional tools, specifically Flashback spells and Disturb creatures at multiple rarities. I also provided a few tools at rare that should make the deck more appealing at Pack 1, Pick 1 ([[Deafening Clarion]] and [[Angelfire Ignition]]). And these are cards that Silverquill, Prismari, and Quandrix mostly aren't interested in or are MUCH better in Lorehold due to the synergy and restrictive casting costs. <<[[!Beloved Beggar]][[!Drogskol Infantry]][[!Burning Oil]][[!Sacred Fire]]>> *For Witherbloom*, I offered additional payoffs and enablers for the life-gain and sacrifice synergies, and offered some fun new build-arounds at rare. <<[[!Vermin Gorger]][[!Bushmeat Poacher]][[!Pest Infestation]][[!Willowdusk, Essence Seer]]>> Due to the slightly higher density of uncommons and rares, plus the changes made to the specific archetypes, this should be a *slightly* higher power version vs. the original retail draft set. *Additions tagged in Brown in the List* --- ## **Structure of the Cube:** 3 copies of every Common 2 copies of every Uncommon 1 copy of every Rare and Mythic 2 copies of most uncommon Mystical Archives (only 1 copy of a few undesirable spells) and 1 of every Rare and Mythic (minus a handful for budget reasons or unplayable in limited) **When building packs:** Shuffle main cube, archives and lesson cards separately. Each pack gets 13 cards, 1 mystical archive (any rarity), and 1 Lesson (any rarity). If you wish to more closely mimic the retail draft environment, you could also shuffle the rarities separately. --- ## **Detailed Changes from Original STX:** *Commons and Uncommons Cut —------>>> Added* [[Secret Rendezvous]] - [[Beloved Beggar]] [[Detention Vortex]] - [[Sacred Fire]] [[Novice Dissector]] - [[Bushmeat Poacher]] [[Excavated Wall]] - [[Drogskol Infantry]] [[Spined Karok]] - [[Vermin Gorger]] [[Ageless Guardian]] - [[Trailblazing Historian]] [[Dragon's Approach]] - [[Burning Oil]] [[Spell Satchel]] - [[Herbology Instructor]] *Rares Cut —------>>> Added* [[Rushed Rebirth]] - [[Blight Mound]] [[Semester's End]] - [[Timeless Dragon]] [[Oriq Loremage]] - [[Sproutback Trudge]] [[Verdant Mastery]] - [[Willowdusk, Essence Seer]] [[Devastating Mastery]] - [[Deafening Clarion]] [[Culmination of Studies]] - [[Reinterpret]] [[Fervent Mastery]] - [[Angelfire Ignition]] [[Ecological Appreciation]] - [[Pest Infestation]] [[Pestilent Cauldron]] - [[Trudge Garden]] [[Jadzi, Oracle of Arcavios]] - [[Invasion of Arcavios]] [[Double Major]] - [[Quintorius, Loremaster]] Added [[Zimone and Dina]]
