I have 749 cards, so I need to make some cuts. Essentially, this is how I made the cube:
My goal: to create an unpowered cube without S-class cards like those in this post, with a high amount of cross-pollination, and interactive archetypes that are fun to play against (so e.g. no land destruction, no Ensnaring Bridge, no Stasis, no Smokestacks or Pox)
720 cards
15 archetypes, 1 for each color and color-pair
For each archetype:
8 separate cards among commons/uncommons, with 4x copies of each card
8 separate cards among rares/mythics, with 2x copies of each card
So there are 32 c/u and 16 r/m, or 48 total cards for each archetype
Packs to be built with 5 rares/mythics and 10 commons/uncommons per pack
The main issue is that I'm missing cards from some archetypes, but want to include 2x of each fetchland and Ravnica dual-land, which puts me over the top. Can anyone make any suggestions?
Please also critique my cube as much as you want, since it's the first one I've made and therefore probably has some issues. Since I have multiples, it's probably fair to think of it like a 360 cube. I welcome any feedback.
I also have a google spreadsheet with cards sorted by archetype and CMC here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IA_wgGpgErEqzVfH_rXBdpuJ6Oad5J5iIq_uByb6NzE/edit#gid=0
