So this cube stuff seemed like a fun way to play some older cards so I've decided to put together a proxy cube (I've been back playing since Rise, so I don't have a very extensive collection, and also a lot of the proxies around here just plain look cooler than the real cards).
My playgroup is all relatively new to the game, but not to gaming. They tend to still enjoy creature interaction over spell interaction so I've tried to make sure that lots of aggro archetypes are powerful by restricting some of the control and combo choices. I've also kept out anything that allows really unfair starts, primarily sol ring. I might bring some of this stuff back in once we start getting used to how cube plays.
I'm really not too sure what I'm doing, so if anyone notices something that is definitely missing, something that definitely doesn't work or half of a two card combo missing the other piece let me know please I already noticed that evacuation doesn't really fit the slot as a powered downgraded version of upheaval.
