A mtg cube; all sleeved in a nice box. Endless replayibility with friends with a few updates every year.
It's the dream.
Cube..?
A cube is usually 360-720 magic the gathering cards that can be used to draft a deck, normally 8 people will form 3x15 card "packs" which they will pass around and take a card.
A cube is often a Singleton format, so every card is different; but there's a huge amount of ways they can be put together for a unique experience.
That's really interesting... are Cube's coloured or is that in the skill of drafting to keep your draft in one or two colours? Are Lands and then brought in separately?
You can do anything. I've been toying around with making a black and green cube where the players can pick the side of life or death and get a bonus for sticking to one colour for example.
But generally they're 5 colours. High powered cubes will include a very strong set of lands to help facilitate the draft, such as the 10 alpha duals, the 10 shock lands, 10 triomes and 10 fetchlands. They're usually picked at a high priority. (The expensive lands will probably be proxies) As with all drafts, basics are added for free after drafting.
You can also build a cube to recreate a draft format, such as Innistraad which to buy a box is very expensive, but 1 of each rare, 2 of each uncommon, and the rest commons can recreate the classic experience.
