This is a kind of post that I enjoyed a lot in /r/mtgcube in reddit. If you want to give a draft to my cube (I have a brief description in its overview about its archetypes and intended strategies), leave a link to yours and I’ll give it a draft too.

I also have a peasant cube in case you prefer it.

    P1P1 was Isamaru because I wanted to see how viable Aggro White was, and it turns out pretty good! Saw Lurrus P3P1 and decided to lean further in, seems like a fun, beatdown format. Here’s my Draft.

    My cube is a color restricted JUND Cube that was just drafted at Cali Cube Champs. Excited to hear your thoughts!

    I don’t plan to add much from LTR but I want to elevate it to as good as possible for Cubecon’23!

      Hey. I swear at some point I’m just going to print a proxy version of Lurrus that simply doesn’t have companion, because people sometimes seem so fixated on making it work as a companion while giving up on other powerhouses and high-end cards for their deck hahaha. I personally would have included many of your 3+ cmc cards in the deck.

      I drafted your jund cube, and went for a classic Rakdos Aristocrats. I tried to build a color restricted cube once, but I generally got the same problem as my first test draft of your cube, which was that i just picked fixing and good cards in each color and made a 3-color soup of good cards midrange. After I tried to focus on a specific archetype, I also got so many playables that I had to seriously think what to include and what to cut to make the deck.

    Izzet spells with White splash

    I wrongly picked Rip Apart, should be oung Pyromancer, but otherwise it is all good. Bots deck are also good too, despite Green going unpicked from my Pack 1 and 3 and White from Pack 2. U is contested in this draft.

    I was thinking going full UW cause I get flying signposts on Pack 1, but I realise UW flying getting cuts plus all dual lands available were Izzet. When I realised in Pack 2, it is already too late and I have lack UR playables.

      It’s kind of a pity that the draft got complicated, because the deck was looking very nice. I’d not try to go into 3 colors without any fixing for white. I’d go so far as to include Jubilant Skybonder, Tibalt, and the hypothetical Young Pyro into the deck just to avoid white altogether. Even if you went with that splash, having so many white sources would certainly be detrimental.

      Do you have any cube to draft?

          I drafted this UW tempo deck. I started picking some good white cards, but then I found Stormchaser Drake and decided to build around it. I may have ended up too threat-light, specially at the 2 cmc spot, but I also got some other powerful 3 and 4 drops, and a decent top end.
