I know this may not be a "Cube" idea per se, but bear with me a moment.
I always enjoy experimenting with peasant power level, and when jumpstart came out I got to thinking Huh, what if my peasant cube was like Smash Up, where I just make archetype packs and smash them together to play.
But then I wondered what a battle box would look like- 60 card decks vintage constructed peasant* (or artisan or Silver Black) and THAT's why I came here!
So to all the C/Ube nerds out there, what's your best Artisan Constructed deck look like? what would a sideboard entail? I'm interested in what the price tag would look like too, to get an idea of how expensive it'd be to get my poor friends into a janky format.
I love you, Leelue, because I honestly have no idea if you're being serious or facetious here.
@Awsum: I was actually pretty into SilverBlack 100 years ago when it was a thing on TheGatherling and they had regular tournaments. I also now really enjoy Artisan on Arena. Common/Uncommon only formats like that can be really fun. With that said, though, I think you'd get more traction here from the Jump Start idea. Something like that more closely resembles cube where singleton archetypes are more finely tuned and explored. Jump Start itself also already gave you some great ideas for 30 card archetypes that you can only improve on and make more powerful.
The problem was probably that peasant usually means a max of 5 uncommons per deck (in constructed) which isn't a restriction in this particular format on Arena.

Wow, that is some deep-cut knowledge right there. I'm not used to hearing magic facts I havent heard of, and there are now at least 2 in this thread alone

I thought this was going to be a thread about whether or not Artisan of Kozilek should be categorized as a green card or not.
