Have you ever wished you could play Redemption's Canonically Superior Experience (Booster Draft) anytime, anywhere? I have, and I know you have too. Two problems with that. One, gathering enough people to play. Admittedly, this cube does not solve this problem. However, see problem two: Booster Draft is expensive. You buy packs, open packs, draft cards, build your deck, and, once the tournament's over, that's that. The cards get de-sleeved, packed away, and, in our case, probably never seen again. It's great fun, but hardly practical to do multiple times without feeling like there's maybe a better way (or at least a less-wallet heavy way). So, recently, as I thought of ways to make better use of those binder pages waiting between those few tournaments a year I play in for Booster Drafts, a thought struck me of a category I played long ago, and the realization that, fortunately, there exists a way around this-

Cube Draft

Honestly, what better way to use your cards than in the service of RCSE? I can't think of any. So, recalling what I could of Travis' first Cube draft I played in at Nats 2014, I was led to his page for inspiration. See this helpful link for the original: https://www.cactusforums.com/game-play-variations/want-your-input-on-building-gem-city-games-redemption-cube!/

So, with some numbers I could work with, I set out to make my own Cube with a modern take- Rotation cards were in, Scrolls cards were out. With many similarities and some departures from Travis' TLG Cube, this is what I came up with:

720 Cards (Enough for 12 players at 4 packs of 15 for 60 cards per player

Brigade Totals (excluding DAC, Covs, and Curses
7 Good brigades x 7 = 280 Good Cards
6 Evil brigades x 6 = 276 Evil Cards
164 other cards

Totals (with DAC, Covs, and Curses counted)
319 Good Cards
319 Evil Cards
82 Neutral Cards
