cube definition

When someone mentions cube, do you expect it to be singleton?

If it is not singleton, is it a cube anymore are just a draft set?

My default interpretation is that it will be singleton, because that's the most common form of cube.
I certainly consider cubes that fudge "the rules" a bit to still be cube, though.
Peasant Cubes with some rare lands.
Cubes that break the one-of rule for a couple cards, functional reprints allow that anyways to an extent, so I don't really see the difference. Especially when those cards are Squadron Hawk or Cloudpost or something.

The only issue I see with a cube with multiple copies of certain cards is that it might constrain the numbers of archetypes available to draft. It would be nice to have available stuff like squadron Hawk and post decks though. I could see an interesting designed cube like this

Always singleton.

I have an old school cube while it would be nice to have more than one it really shouldn't.

True cube - singleton
Sort of cube - singleton but might allow allow squadron hawk or special lands
Draft set - lots of copies of a single card


This is what I came away with.
