The Pack War Cube! Original idea from @Gallently and his Bar Cube. No tokens, no counters, no dice, just Magic.

I liked this idea of a game-in-a-box style cube for getting in quick games. I don't often find myself in bars or restaurants with friends wanting to play a game of Magic, though. What I do find, however, is down time on cube nights. Often that leads to someone asking, "You wanna Pack War?" Then they grab one of my other cubes, count out their packs and lands, and get to playing.

The problem with playing Pack War in cube is the lands. Two of each basic probably isn't enough. Three of each feels like too much. You find yourself drawing lands more often than not just due to the amount of lands included in the cube in addition to the basics you throw into the pack. Not only that, but you can also find yourself looking for a specific color.

I tried to mitigate those challenges with this list by thinking about the Pack War format. I've included artifacts that allow you to search for a specific color or filter to a specific color. There are looting and rummaging abilities to get rid of those extra lands and turn them into value. I also purposely included just one cycle of duals.

I look forward to reaching for this the next time we're between games and people want to get as much cube as possible in.
