    (written as of v5.0.4) The Elegant Cube aims to be a format that is, above all, fun. Fun for new players, who need a forgiving draft section and don’t know what most cards do. Fun for veteran players, who will explore a deep, interesting limited environment. Fun in evenings you are tired and...

    The Elegant Cube

    Update 5.0 This is it. The next evolution of my 10 year old cube. I developed the concept of Cube Occasionals, and Update 5.0 is the one that introduces them to my cube. This is as simple an update as it is a huge one. I remove 54 cards from version 4.9.5 of my cube so that it becomes a...

    Creatures Matter Cube

    Awesome basic land options! Some people care zero about that, but others care a lot, and most care a bit. It definitely feels good to me to play basics fitting my deck, or having a common theme, or just a of set I like. Do you seriously have like 150 of each basic land sleeved for the cube...
