Cloned from Core Bar Cube
Welcome to the Core Bar Cube.
No +1/+1 Counters, No Tokens, and No Shuffling.
Simplified Gameplay and cards meant for easy game play for veterans or a way to grasp the basics for beginners.
Born from my love of M11 as a set, and 2012's Standard game player this cube is intended to show off what I felt was some of the best time to play Magic. Further over the years, I had found the core styled sets are the best to play due to the simple game play that was easy to understand but hard to master. Further the iconic feel of the cards from art to archetypes they form in the cube just hits home.
But further I wanted a Bar Cube styled cube. Known for the simplicity or playing bareback cards in public settings but further the lack of extra game pieces needed, ie Tokens and dice, appealed to me given that it has been harder and harder to get cubers to come together at game stores in recent years for me meaning we play at someone's home which often is left to people we know or to play at breweries where we have way more variables such as drinks and only the game pieces we can carry with us.
Further this cube game me a chance to try something out how would game play feel without shuffling. By removing shuffling top deck control becomes even more key and also makes scrying and surveilling more interesting and valuable in a game.
