I've got this idea and than I just did it. I created a historic, arena cube, so I and hopefully many others can draft it online and then play it on the client. To make it less likely, that someone doesn't have the cards they drafted in their collection, or not the necessary wild cards, I kept it peasant. Everyone who drafts from time to time and has a handful of black and silver wild cards should have no problems getting their deck together. I also just feel more at home designing for that lower power level. Before I go into detail, one house rule:
There is one snow-covered basic of each in the cube. You have to pick it to be allowed to play as many of it (that specific basic) as you want. So you pick Snow-Covered Forest and only then you're allowed to add Snow-Covered Forests to your deck.
The cube surely isn't as refined as my other real life cubes, but how can it be, I just scrapped it together within a few days. I don't doubt it'll be fun, but it surely has to evolve and I am excited to get feedback from people among these boards who actually played it this time!
The idea is simple: You just go on the Link and draft a deck:

https://cubecobra.com/cube/playtest/15uc
Then you go to arena, add a deck (format limited) and rebuild it there. Now you can challenge anybody who also did this for games. No rules how often you can use your deck or anything, at least not from my side. Just have some fun.
The themes: I've chose to go with some broad themes for the beginning.
Landfall in
Energy centered in and a little bit in
Lifegain centered in and a little bit in
+1/+1 counters centered in and a little bit in
Spellslinger centered in and a little bit in
Snow centered in and a little bit in
Classic Aggro, Control and Midrange decks are available in almost every color combination, and I tried to heavily minimize the number of cards, that can't stand on their own, so players will have a lot of freedom exploring stuff.
