First, the basics for anyone new: This can be added to any cube, preferably a super budget cube. You deal out 36 cards from Cube: Legacy (18 common, 10 uncommon, 6 rare, 2 mythic) and distribute them among the draft packs. They are drafted, and they permanently edit other cards in the cube.

It’s here! 3.0. After playtesting it, there were a lot of changes. Modify made it in to the cube with flying colors. Lots of balance changes. Many cards cut entirely, as they didn’t jive with the new direction. But the big change is the quest section and Alternate Drafts.

There are only two quests now, pending playtesting. One rewards a card, and one rewards an Alternate Draft.

First lets look at the card quest:

This is a powerful card that gets added to support a tribe that ends up in all five colors. But how could a tribe get to that point? Why, thanks to the special draft:

Alternate drafts are sets of 36 cards that are used instead of the normal Cube: Legacy cards. They’re meant to push the cube in a new direction all at once. Each is themed after a plane. The first is Lorwyn, adding a ton of tribal support, and changing the creature types of a bunch of cards. What will the tribes supported in your cube be? It’s impossible to say! Of course, the person who triggered the draft gets a special bonus during it.

I’ll be releasing new Alternate Drafts and Quests as time goes on. Ravnica, Alara. and Tarkir are almost ready, adding a big multicolor element to drafts. Mirrodin and Theros are just concepts now (Artifacts and Enchantments), but they’ll be along soon. But of course, some quests may never get met, and so each person’s cube will look wildly different.

Here is the main Cube 3.0: 3.0 Main Set
