Would anyone be interested in playing a few games with Insane Zombies? What about Sacrificial Goblins, or Martial Arts Cars?
Inspired by the "drafting" style of JumpStart, this "cube" will consist of 16 half-decks that can be combined in a myriad of ways.
Each half-deck includes a cover card which introduces the basic idea of the deck. These can be drafted face up to give players a choice of what to take, or face down for an even more random experience. Each deck also contains a decklist card for easy sorting after each play session.
This is a work in process. I have already switched out 3 themes that were not coming together like I wanted. The other decklists are in flux. One thing with which I would particularly like suggestions is how to better make the decks mesh together, whether it be general ideas or specific card suggestions.
(I've only built a handful of decks at this point, and I'm already worried the Eldrazi will be too powerful. I want this to be a somewhat slow format, and the huge Eldrazi will shine as games progress.)
I really like this idea; I considered this idea too, but never made any decks or lists. Jumpstart appealed to me, but because of supply, pricing, and pandemic I never played it or bought it. I think some of your themes are more interesting or create more interesting crossovers. Shimmerdrift Vale could be a good addition alongside Vivids and Thriving lands.
