Now that cards with the new card frames are rolling out, I thought I'd get a head start on building a brand new cube made only from cards with the new card frame beginning with M15 and From the Vault: Annihilation. And until I can think of a better name for the cube, I'm just going to call it the Post Modern Cube™.
At the time I'm creating this thread, there aren't even 360 total cards with the new card frame to fill out a 360 card cube. But I'll just fill it out and update it as cards are announced. I'm going to mindlessly include every single card that is announced until I hit 360. After that, then it's decision time where I'll have to begin making swaps and the actual cube will begin to take shape.
I have no idea how this format will look when it's finished, but I think that's part of the fun.
This is kind of an experiment. There are plenty of cubes out there that only include cards with the modern card frame, but all of those were put together after years of cards had already been printed because "cube" wasn't really a thing at the time of 8th Edition & Mirrodin. With this cube, I'm literally starting from nothing. And given that 8th Edition was printed in 2003, I have no idea what is going to take shape 1 year from now, let along 11 years from now or whenever they decide to roll out yet another *new* card frame. (And at that time, I'll stop updating this cube.)
Even though I generally *hate* foil cards. I think I'll have to make an exception for this cube since all "From the Vault" cards are foil only. For me, the only thing worse than foil is when people mix and match foil & nonfoil cards.
Many updates to come in the next few months, not only with an updated list with new cards, but a little analysis on how I think the cube is shaping up and how I think the format will play.
Hate to break it to you, but the new frame isn't coming until M15. This means the Conspiracy cards will not have that frame.
Lmao.
You don't have to "hate" to break it to me. This just means that I won't have to buy a foil Dack Fayden.
(I actually knew it didn't start until M15, but for some reason I thought Conspiracy came out after M15. Good to know.)
Well, just means your list is half the size you think it is. Also, you'll need to wait until at least Huey to hit 360 legal cards, as opposed to hitting it with M15.

I wanted it to be real, but Wrath of God happened to be the only card where you could clearly see the bottom of the card (among other things that other people pointed out).

The old cards are expensive and hard to obtain as well.
The thing though is I think you have to wait until the next block to finish for you to have a decent cube (no hank like wall of fire, sorry!).
I will keep myself posted, though, as it is interesting.
Already proven fake.
I wanted it to be real, but Wrath of God happened to be the only card where you could clearly see the bottom of the card (among other things that other people pointed out).
Here are the fake images:
