Hi guys! So, I had this idea kicking around ever since SOI was spoiled. I love the high-gothic setting of Innistrad, and the wacky draft style it promoted. So, I decided to make a cube once all was said and spoilt! There are a few conditions that this cube is being built under.
The cube is currently in the process of being built. I know what the rule is about posting unfinished cubes, but the nature of the second condition means that I'd really like to get some feedback on my list before throwing dangerous amounts of money at it. The cube currently needs 6 cuts.
While I am not breaking singleton on the cube, Innistrad had multiple draft archetypes that required copies of a single specific card to function. For these reasons, when a player drafts either burning vengeance or spider spawning, they may take up to two additional copies of the card from the box, after the draft portion is over. It's something that I am experimenting with, and if you have any suggestions for what other cards would work great with this system, or about the system in general, I'd love to hear them!
The archetypes are as follows:
U/W: Spirits/soft blink
U/R: Spells matter/burning vengeance
U/G: Clues/flash tempo
U/B: Zombies/mill/Some madness/Homicidal Seclusion?
B/R: Madness/Vampires/Sacrifice
B/W: Tokens/Reanimator
B/G: Delirium/Spider Spawning/Sacrifice
G/W: Humans/aggro
G/R: Aggro/Werewolves
R/W: Tokens/aggro
Current worries: G/B Delirium might be too weak of a mechanic, straight aggro might be too strong.
Cards I really want to include but can't find room for: Invisible stalker, bloodgift demon.
Any suggestions of cards/cuts or archetype shifts would be greatly appreciated! I'd love some opinions from people who are more experienced cube builders than I on the matter. Thank you again for your assistance!
- The cube must contain only cards from the dual Innistrad blocks (or cards that are incredibly flavorful.)
- The entire cube must be foil.
- Each Legendary creature that has multiple cards over both blocks may only appear once. (with one exception.)
- There should be a good degree of 'fun, wacky' draft cards (triskaidekaphobia, homicidal seclusion, Laboratory Maniac, etc.) and the format should allow for cool things to happen (i.e, not be so streamlined and punishing that anything other than 'straight aggro' or 'straight control' would get immediately blown out.)
