@whase I would be very interested to learn of your experiences with the all-green cube! Do you think you'll draft, or do sealed? @Captain Karnage You make a good point there. I suppose I'll just keep expanding my BattleBox using the cipherfaire lists!

Here's an idea-- for limited play, like sealed, one could... Instead of making packs, each player draft picks a game, and they receive 60 random cards from that game/color, as well as 3 random 1-costers from that color. The cards will come from a curated pool, though. You don't just get 60 green cards, you'll get 60 green from the 90 in the pool. Those 90 will come from all across the 20 sets, and will include relevant neutrals. Using that, you make a 30card Singleton deck, and everyone dukes it out. Or, is multicolor a major part of the draft experience? Maybe you'd instead get 30c from two different games, and you'd snake draft, like Catan, where first person gets first pick and last pick, and the "last" person picks twice in a row. Another thing comes to mind-- what if the resource requirement were different in limited formats? Instead of having to match your bond color for playing cards, you can match any affinity. You'd still need to match for any bond-flip abilities that call out a color, but otherwise, maybe you draft your deck from a huge pool of mixed up colors and the colors don't matter as much as the cool combos you make along the way. Just brainstorming. I really love playing card games in limited environments!

Has anyone ever crafted, or come across, a cube draft list for this game? I have seen that the game is draftable-- had anyone home so far as to make a cube? For reference, drafting is where a group of players pass packs around a table, each person taking one card at a time from each booster until everyone has a semi-curated, semi-random stack of cards to make a deck out of. Cube draft is where you curate the cardpool. In a normal draft, you would grab four booster packs from the same booster series or season. Instead for cube, you make 10-card packs from a custom list. Maybe in your cube, you want to see a particular set of games represented and not others, or bloodlines, or maybe your cube just has all the most powerful combos and characters, or maybe it's a blue-haired cube where every card art has someone with blue hair in it.
