Description

This cube is predominantly filled with cards from the Innistrad and Shadows Over Innistrad blocks, with some cards canonically related to the plane included, such as Ugin, the Spirit Dragon.

A small number of cards were included from outside sets to strengthen certain strategies and colour combinations, such as Lightning Helix for Boros Aggro, and Mystic Snake for U/G/x Emerge.

The power level of the cube as a whole is intended to be medium to high. Obviously working within the (loose) constraints of single plane prevents anything too silly from popping up. The cube is also intended to be fairly straightforward for a novice player to draft, and the cards have been selected so as to not be misleading. That is to say, cards that are only good if they have the requisite support (e.g. Drogskol Captain), are actually good, because they have that support.

The allied colour pairs in the cube are tribal focused and slightly stronger than the enemy colours (simply because the Innistrad sets were largely allied coloured). A few outside cards have been included to help mitigate this and bolster the effectiveness of enemy colour decks, which are more strategy-based. Orzhov does oppressive Orzhov things. Golgari plays with the graveyard. Simic supports emerge. Spells matter for Izzet. Boros hits your face with everything.
