While the Legacy Cube, as a whole, is 17 percent smaller than the previous MTGO cubes, the number of white wrath effects were cut at a might higher rate of 43 percent. Probably the biggest difference is the lack of sweepers. In Legacy Cube, it looks like white is more aggressive and swarm-oriented than ever before, and many of the cards that pushed white decks towards control have been removed. In past MTGO cubes, white was almost always one of two things: a primary aggressive color (sometimes alongside black or red) or a secondary control color (often in U/W/x decks). While I was not one of the select few to get to play this cube early, I did get to check out a chunk of the coverage on various streams, so while I am working more in theory than in practice in discussing the new cube, I did get to see some of the new cards and decks in actions. I will always remember the first time I played cube as a seminal moment in my magic life – I already knew magic was fun, but I never knew it could be cube fun. You probably know me as a financier, but I love me some magic online, and I really, really love cube drafting. The new “Legacy Cube” hits MTGO for the first time today, after an extended downtime, although a few select streamers had an opportunity to draft it last week. He became one of my favorite players when he next leveled Sam Friedmand with storm at an SCG invitational about a year ago, but after only one run, his freshly redesigned cube has got an overhaul so complete that it’s almost unrecognizable.
