[Project] Ravnica & Return To Ravnica Blocks Cube

[Kayradis]

So, it's a project my card pool partner and myself are working on.

We are getting tired of the standard cubes around (Power Cube, Pauper Cube, Ect...) and we decided to build a cube solely built around the 2 Ravnica Blocks.


We have a fairly good idea what could be included in it, but I'd like more opinions in regards to card choice.
We already made the point that every Guildgate, Bounce Land, Cluestone, Keyrune and Signet will be included in it in regards to mana fixing. Now we are at the point of dividing the pie between the guilds and finding how many cards will be allocated to each.

Also, I'd love suggestions about what cards you would see in that cube.
There's tons of easy pics and we all know them (Dark Confidant, Boros Reckoner, ect...) so I'm mostly looking for the obscure cards.

Please, when submitting your idea, include a short statement why you think this card should be in our cube.
I'm seeing this whole project as a community one, since tons of people will be enjoying it in the future!

So....game on??

This seems like a really cool Cube to build. I think I might even do it myself!

I see it as either as:
360 card cube (8 players, all cards used)
540 card cube (8 players, 66% of the cube drafted - provides variety)

Either way, I think it would be much easier to balance this cube out by first putting Guild cards, then a smaller sprinkling of non-Guild mono-colored cards.

Suppose -
50% gold Guild cards
30% mono-colored Guild cards
20% non-guild mono-colored

Seems like a fun project for summer. 8-)

Right now, I see it as a 540 cards.
We include 2 x guildgate for each guild and all the mana fixing. That's 73 slots already used. Im building an excel sheet with all the card choice. If you're interested, I can send it to you. It's still a WiP !

I actually have a Ravnicube and it's a blast!

I finished mine around a month ago, and my cube group has essentially sidelined our unpowered cube while we feel out the Ravnicube format.

My cube is 360 cards, designed by guild.
