{"ops":[{"insert":"(This primer is both for random folks who get to this page AND people I’ve invited to draft the Cube and send this link to. It may read a bit long/detailed for the first group. And the second group.)\n\nFORMAT BASICS\nThis is a 535 card draftable cube. It includes banned and salt-inducing cards, mostly on the basis that it is still exceptionally hard to draft a truly abusive deck alongside seven other experienced players. That said,"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Panoptic Mirror"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Time Walk"}},{"insert":" can still happen.\n\nThe cube follows normal Commander Cube rules: make random 20-card packs, each player gets three packs, all open one pack at a time and draft two cards at a time (pass left, then next pack right, then third pack left) until the pack is gone. Everyone should end up with 60 cards and uses that pool, plus unlimited basic lands, to build a 60-card commander deck. (Recommended 24 lands, 36 non-land.) Beyond the inclusion of banned cards and 60-card deck size, all other Commander deck construction and play rules apply.\n\nThe cube has proven draftable for anywhere between four to eight players.\n\nWHAT TO DRAFT\nEvery legendary creature in the draft has SOME support, but two-color combinations have the most focus:\n\nWG: token swarm\nGR: trampling heavies\nRB: disruption and damage\nBU: artifact dig\nUW: flyers\nWR: auras and equipment\nRU: spellslinger\nUG: triggered abilities\nGB: recursive elves\nBW: recursive humans\n\nThere are only ten three-color commanders (without using partners). They are not necessarily auto-picks and I actually avoid them; but they each contain a great deal of information on what you should prioritize if you draft those colors. If you get one early, pass it unless you really want to draft that plan. If you get one late and you’re already in at least two of the colors…grab it!\n\nGRW ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Duskana, the Rage Mother"}},{"insert":"): Bears Run Rampant! There are at least 40 different ways in the three colors to get one or more 2/2s. Very few actual bears, but tons of statistical matches. A new, sneaky strategy that fell into the Cube’s lap.\nUGR ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Maelstrom Wanderer"}},{"insert":"): Triggered Large Creatures! There are very few other 8+ cards in the entire cube, so every card in your deck will cascade off this and (if you draft the theme) do something else upon cast/entry.\nGRB ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Prossh, Skyraider of Kher"}},{"insert":"): Blood and Guts for Profit! Lots of ways to blow up all kinds of things, including your own. Sacrifice what you need to one-shot at least one player and use recursion to reload.\nRBW ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghen, Arcanum Weaver"}},{"insert":"): Endless Enchantments! A dizzying number of enchantments are in the cube; take advantage of that and get massive value exchanging them (generally from graveyard to play) repeatedly.\nBWU ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sharuum the Hegemon"}},{"insert":"): Robot Invasion! Artifact creatures are concentrated here. This is one of three most recently bolstered theme in the cube and drafters still often miss it because the number of *colorless* artifacts is relatively low.\nWUR ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Zurgo and Ojutai"}},{"insert":"): Flying Card Tricks! This may be the only dragon in your deck (there are about half a dozen color-compatible dragons in the cube, besides copies), but it is enough. It can serve as one of a very few creatures in a RUw spellslinger or RWu equipment deck, or it can anchor a flying force in UWr.\nURB ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tetsuo, Imperial Champion"}},{"insert":"): Swords and Spells! This commander and his equipped spellslinging theme is one of three new efforts on this short list, and intentionally challenging. Draft the right balance of equipment and sorceries/instants to make him work (err on the side of equipment, particularly if you find the gems in blue or black).\nBUG ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Leovold, Emissary of Trest"}},{"insert":"): Banned Card Hijinx! Many of the most powerful and currently/previously banned cards in the cube are in these colors: particularly "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Recurring Nightmare"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Primeval Titan"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hullbreacher"}},{"insert":" , and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary"}},{"insert":" . You can demonstrate why these cards are so problematic, particularly in conjunction with the three two-color themes being brought together: triggered abilities, artifact dig, and recursive elves. \nUGW ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Amareth, the Lustrous"}},{"insert":"): Permanent Card Advantage! Let the instants and sorceries go by in draft and seek out multiple-type permanents (e.g., artifact lands, enchantment creatures). Use this commander to keep your threats flowing.\nGWB ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghave, Guru of Spores"}},{"insert":"): Old Reliable Growing Swarm! Tokens are a stronger theme than +1/+1 counters in this cube, so pick up the latter quickly if you think you’ll go here. Then make sure you have a wide enough swarm for steady sacrifice. Lastly, snag recursion to bring back some threats.\n\nOne-color decks are difficult but doable, and the themes from most 2-color combinations work fine without a second color. If you get to 26+ cards without exceeding a single color identity...you have enough!\n\nWHAT NOT TO DRAFT\nFour-color decks are inadvisable but possible with the modest partner array available (each color has 3-6 partner options); there is no guaranteed support for any specific combination. I’ve laid out the detail below NOT by way of encouragement, but of illustration that things get rough pretty quick. In descending order of viability: \nFour-color Non-Blue: possible by drafting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vial Smasher the Fierce"}},{"insert":" together. There are some 2/2s in black that might make Duskana (trapped now in the 99) more attractive. Or perhaps you’re looking for white token fodder for a hidden Prosh attack. Not a lot of other reasons to go here."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Four-color Non-Red: possible by drafting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reyhan, Last of the Abzan"}},{"insert":" together. These two intersect at the cube’s minor +1/+1 counter theme, and if you have Ghave but don’t want to depend on a full deck with token synergy, you might find some neat offerings in copy effects."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Four-color Non-Green: possible by drafting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tymna the Weaver"}},{"insert":" (or"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ravos, Soultender"}},{"insert":") and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kraum, Ludevic's Opus"}},{"insert":" together. Green is so heavy into creatures that it yields a lot of enchantment, artifact, sorcery, and instant territory to the other five colors. So you might be able to make a messy “low-creature-count” deck here, and profit from some card advantage in your commanders."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Four-color Non-Black: possible by drafting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kraum, Ludevic's Opus"}},{"insert":" together. Light infantry and flyers, eh? Okay, if you say so. Perhaps you can build something evasive and tricky with some pet cards."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Four-color Non-White: possible by drafting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reyhan, Last of the Abzan"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kraum, Ludevic's Opus"}},{"insert":" together. This is the biggest stretch, advisable only for exhibition purposes. Low synergy between the two. I’d only go here if you find yourself shut out of something more interesting."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nSo yeah, prefer fewer colors.\n\nREVIEWING THE CARD LIST\nCards are listed here in the categories that allow for me to pull random extras proportionally from each stack and make balanced packs for any sized draft. The “special” category (with the Moxen, etc.) gets entirely used every draft because that’s what really amazing cards are for.\n\nVERSION HISTORY\nThis is just here for my own reference.\nVersion 1 - (2016) original build using all 2016 four-color and partner commanders, with five-color options.\nVersion 2 - (2018) remove five- and four-color single commanders, leave multiple three-color and nearly all 2016 partner commanders intact.\nVersion 3 - (2022) remove all non-commander cards with three or more colors, bring in more banned cards.\nVersion 4 - (2026) reduce three-color commanders to one per combination, reduce four-color possibilities to discourage similar selection patterns, retool UB (more artifact) and RGW (more 2/2 creatures and tokens) strategies for stronger impact, sharpen all cards to serve one or more strategy explicitly.\n\n"}]}

Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"(This primer is both for random folks who get to this page AND people I’ve invited to draft the Cube and send this link to. It may read a bit long/detailed for the first group. And the second group.)\n\nFORMAT BASICS\nThis is a 535 card draftable cube. It includes banned and salt-inducing cards, mostly on the basis that it is still exceptionally hard to draft a truly abusive deck alongside seven other experienced players. That said,"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Panoptic Mirror"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Time Walk"}},{"insert":" can still happen.\n\nThe cube follows normal Commander Cube rules: make random 20-card packs, each player gets three packs, all open one pack at a time and draft two cards at a time (pass left, then next pack right, then third pack left) until the pack is gone. Everyone should end up with 60 cards and uses that pool, plus unlimited basic lands, to build a 60-card commander deck. (Recommended 24 lands, 36 non-land.) Beyond the inclusion of banned cards and 60-card deck size, all other Commander deck construction and play rules apply.\n\nThe cube has proven draftable for anywhere between four to eight players.\n\nWHAT TO DRAFT\nEvery legendary creature in the draft has SOME support, but two-color combinations have the most focus:\n\nWG: token swarm\nGR: trampling heavies\nRB: disruption and damage\nBU: artifact dig\nUW: flyers\nWR: auras and equipment\nRU: spellslinger\nUG: triggered abilities\nGB: recursive elves\nBW: recursive humans\n\nThere are only ten three-color commanders (without using partners). They are not necessarily auto-picks and I actually avoid them; but they each contain a great deal of information on what you should prioritize if you draft those colors. If you get one early, pass it unless you really want to draft that plan. If you get one late and you’re already in at least two of the colors…grab it!\n\nGRW ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Duskana, the Rage Mother"}},{"insert":"): Bears Run Rampant! There are at least 40 different ways in the three colors to get one or more 2/2s. Very few actual bears, but tons of statistical matches. A new, sneaky strategy that fell into the Cube’s lap.\nUGR ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Maelstrom Wanderer"}},{"insert":"): Triggered Large Creatures! There are very few other 8+ cards in the entire cube, so every card in your deck will cascade off this and (if you draft the theme) do something else upon cast/entry.\nGRB ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Prossh, Skyraider of Kher"}},{"insert":"): Blood and Guts for Profit! Lots of ways to blow up all kinds of things, including your own. Sacrifice what you need to one-shot at least one player and use recursion to reload.\nRBW ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghen, Arcanum Weaver"}},{"insert":"): Endless Enchantments! A dizzying number of enchantments are in the cube; take advantage of that and get massive value exchanging them (generally from graveyard to play) repeatedly.\nBWU ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sharuum the Hegemon"}},{"insert":"): Robot Invasion! Artifact creatures are concentrated here. This is one of three most recently bolstered theme in the cube and drafters still often miss it because the number of *colorless* artifacts is relatively low.\nWUR ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Zurgo and Ojutai"}},{"insert":"): Flying Card Tricks! This may be the only dragon in your deck (there are about half a dozen color-compatible dragons in the cube, besides copies), but it is enough. It can serve as one of a very few creatures in a RUw spellslinger or RWu equipment deck, or it can anchor a flying force in UWr.\nURB ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tetsuo, Imperial Champion"}},{"insert":"): Swords and Spells! This commander and his equipped spellslinging theme is one of three new efforts on this short list, and intentionally challenging. Draft the right balance of equipment and sorceries/instants to make him work (err on the side of equipment, particularly if you find the gems in blue or black).\nBUG ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Leovold, Emissary of Trest"}},{"insert":"): Banned Card Hijinx! Many of the most powerful and currently/previously banned cards in the cube are in these colors: particularly "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Recurring Nightmare"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Primeval Titan"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Hullbreacher"}},{"insert":" , and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary"}},{"insert":" . You can demonstrate why these cards are so problematic, particularly in conjunction with the three two-color themes being brought together: triggered abilities, artifact dig, and recursive elves. \nUGW ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Amareth, the Lustrous"}},{"insert":"): Permanent Card Advantage! Let the instants and sorceries go by in draft and seek out multiple-type permanents (e.g., artifact lands, enchantment creatures). Use this commander to keep your threats flowing.\nGWB ("},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ghave, Guru of Spores"}},{"insert":"): Old Reliable Growing Swarm! Tokens are a stronger theme than +1/+1 counters in this cube, so pick up the latter quickly if you think you’ll go here. Then make sure you have a wide enough swarm for steady sacrifice. Lastly, snag recursion to bring back some threats.\n\nOne-color decks are difficult but doable, and the themes from most 2-color combinations work fine without a second color. If you get to 26+ cards without exceeding a single color identity...you have enough!\n\nWHAT NOT TO DRAFT\nFour-color decks are inadvisable but possible with the modest partner array available (each color has 3-6 partner options); there is no guaranteed support for any specific combination. I’ve laid out the detail below NOT by way of encouragement, but of illustration that things get rough pretty quick. In descending order of viability: \nFour-color Non-Blue: possible by drafting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vial Smasher the Fierce"}},{"insert":" together. There are some 2/2s in black that might make Duskana (trapped now in the 99) more attractive. Or perhaps you’re looking for white token fodder for a hidden Prosh attack. Not a lot of other reasons to go here."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Four-color Non-Red: possible by drafting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ishai, Ojutai Dragonspeaker"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reyhan, Last of the Abzan"}},{"insert":" together. These two intersect at the cube’s minor +1/+1 counter theme, and if you have Ghave but don’t want to depend on a full deck with token synergy, you might find some neat offerings in copy effects."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Four-color Non-Green: possible by drafting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Tymna the Weaver"}},{"insert":" (or"},{"insert":{"card-link":"Ravos, Soultender"}},{"insert":") and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kraum, Ludevic's Opus"}},{"insert":" together. Green is so heavy into creatures that it yields a lot of enchantment, artifact, sorcery, and instant territory to the other five colors. So you might be able to make a messy “low-creature-count” deck here, and profit from some card advantage in your commanders."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Four-color Non-Black: possible by drafting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sidar Kondo of Jamuraa"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kraum, Ludevic's Opus"}},{"insert":" together. Light infantry and flyers, eh? Okay, if you say so. Perhaps you can build something evasive and tricky with some pet cards."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Four-color Non-White: possible by drafting "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Reyhan, Last of the Abzan"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Kraum, Ludevic's Opus"}},{"insert":" together. This is the biggest stretch, advisable only for exhibition purposes. Low synergy between the two. I’d only go here if you find yourself shut out of something more interesting."},{"attributes":{"list":"bullet"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nSo yeah, prefer fewer colors.\n\nREVIEWING THE CARD LIST\nCards are listed here in the categories that allow for me to pull random extras proportionally from each stack and make balanced packs for any sized draft. The “special” category (with the Moxen, etc.) gets entirely used every draft because that’s what really amazing cards are for.\n\nVERSION HISTORY\nThis is just here for my own reference.\nVersion 1 - (2016) original build using all 2016 four-color and partner commanders, with five-color options.\nVersion 2 - (2018) remove five- and four-color single commanders, leave multiple three-color and nearly all 2016 partner commanders intact.\nVersion 3 - (2022) remove all non-commander cards with three or more colors, bring in more banned cards.\nVersion 4 - (2026) reduce three-color commanders to one per combination, reduce four-color possibilities to discourage similar selection patterns, retool UB (more artifact) and RGW (more 2/2 creatures and tokens) strategies for stronger impact, sharpen all cards to serve one or more strategy explicitly.\n\n"}]}
