Hello! I had a fun idea for a forum game. We're going to be building a 360 card cube together. How this works is one person is going to suggest 6 cards for the cube, one of each color and a gold/colorless card, and then the next person is going to add 6 cards as well. The catch is that the cards need to work together in some way, shape, or form. The "power band" should also stay fairly consistent. For example, let's say one person adds these 6 cards:
The next person could add cards like this:
Then a third person could add the following:
These cards are related to the previous entries, aren't too far away in power level (although there is a fair amount of variation), and work to establish themes and archetypes to the cube.
They should NOT, however, add cards like this:
These cards don't fit the theme (at least directly), and they vary in power. Thoughtcast should not be in the same cube as Black Lotus.
Rules
To start, Post 6 cards at once. One card of each color, and a Gold/Colorless card.
Keep a consistent power band throughout the submissions
Try to keep gold cards evenly distributed amongst colors. We don't need 15 Rakdos cards!
Don't double post, although posting after the person who posted after you is fine.
Removal does Not need to be related to the themes, provided the cube needs it.
If you would like add a little note discussing why you chose to add the cards you did. You don't need to talk much, one or two sentences should suffice.
Thread goals
The idea here is to work on examining synergies between cards and power level. We're looking at how cards work together and form synergies. Technically this does fly against Decks not Cards design ideology, since we are just examining individual cards. That said, we're looking at adding cards with synergy to form decks. The goal of this thread is not to create the best cube ever or anything, but to critically examine synergies between cards in the process of creating cubes and cube archetypes.
For example, let's say someone wants to add an artifact deck to our cube. We might already have an aristocrats theme in W/B, so that person could add cards like Ruthless Knave and Marionette Master to the cube. From there, we can get Dire Fleet Hoarders, maybe an Unlicensed Disintegration if we want to add red to the deck. Hopefully you're getting the idea.

I'll start us off:
Card comments:
-Seeker of the Way is a fairly versatile white 2-drop that can fit into a variety of decks.
-Chart a Course similarly goes into a number of different decks and is fairly open-ended.
-Mardu Strike Leader can support tokens, warriors, maybe we could even support a dash deck.
-Hazoret the Fervent Red aggro? Red Discard? Red Control? Who knows!
-Runic Armasaur #JusticeforRunicArmasaur
-Masticore is a value engine that can also serve as a build around depending on what other cards we add.
Good luck!
