Description

My commander cube. Named after a song by Lemon Demon and not an overinflated opinion of my cube design skills, although I'm happy with how it turned out so far. Featured themes include artifact nonsense, Voltron commanders, token generation, +1/+1 counters, X spells, reanimator, big monsters, and various combinations of the above. The aesthetic is soft sci-fi/mecha anime nonsense, with a focus on the Brothers' War and a generous helping of Warhammer 40k, although I also put in all of the Theros gods, so I guess this is the Trojan War as fought by Gundam pilots?

On to the house rules! PLEASE READ BEFORE DRAFTING! There are a few of them, mostly based around making more commanders viable and making it possible to include things that really wouldn't work in a cube otherwise.

House Rules Show

Drafting is done as it was in the Commander limited sets: players are given three packs of twenty cards and draft two cards at a time.

Your deck must be 62 cards exactly: 2 in the command zone, 60 in the main deck.

Planeswalkers gain "This card can be your commander" if they don't already have text to that effect. The nephilim (Dune-Brood Nephilim, Glint-Eye Nephilim, Ink-Treader Nephilim, Witch-Maw Nephilim and Yore-Tiller Nephilim) also gain "This card can be your commander."

Cards with “Partner” (NOT counting “Partner with […]”) may replace it with “Choose a background.” Cards with “Choose a background” may replace it with “Partner.”

If your chosen commander doesn’t already have “Partner” (NOT counting “Partner with […]”) or “Choose a background”, it gains “Partner with The Prismatic Piper”. The Prismatic Piper, obviously can partner with it as well.

Cards that have a specific partner (“Partner with […]”) are drafted differently. You draft them both at once (one card is in the pack, you draft it, and at the end of the draft you reveal it and add the corresponding partner to your draft pool), but you have to use both of them if you use either of them, whether they’re your commanders or in your main deck. When deck-building with a pair of specific partners as your commanders, you may add one color to their combined color identity. Basically, they get the Prismatic Piper benefit for commanders that don’t have Partner, but you don’t get to put a third card in the command zone.

Urza, Lord Protector ^Meld gains “Partner with The Mightstone and Weakstone ^Meld”. The Mightstone and Weakstone gains “This card can be your commander” and “Partner with Urza, Lord Protector”. They both lose "Partner with[...]" if you aren't playing them as your commanders.
Mishra, Claimed by Gix ^Meld gains “Partner with Phyrexian Dragon Engine ^Meld”. Phyrexian Dragon Engine gains “This card can be your commander” and “Partner with Mishra, Claimed by Gix”. They both lose "Partner with[...]" if you aren't playing them as your commanders.

Up to one Prismatic Piper per player will be provided. If for some reason you have failed to draft ANY other potential commanders, I may be able to provide a second, but if not, I guess you can write "Prismatic Piper, 5 mana, 3/3" on a piece of paper or something. However, if you are forced to invoke this clause, the other players are encouraged to point and laugh at you. Seriously, I have 195 potential commanders here, not counting the other halves of the Partner With partnerships or the Backgrounds. That's roughly a third of the cube.

If you've read this far, thank you! Questions, comments, and constructive feedback are appreciated.
