Description
I’ve been lamenting my collection of mostly bulk cards that aren’t worth the trouble of selling, and finally today it occurred to me how I can make use of it. I’m now going through my collection to make four commander draft cubes (24 20-card “packs” with 1 rare/mythic, 3 uncommons, 2 Legendary Creatures, 1 land card, and 13 commons) along with basic land kits and rulebooks for gameplay and replayability. I am then going to reach out to local middle schools/summer programs in order to donate them as a way of promoting the game in my community as well as encouraging the various mathematical and game theory skills that come along with MTG.
Recent Updates
Got green cards sorted into six draftable archetypes: ramp, elves, snow, mutate/nonhuman synergy, life gain, and +1/+1 counters/buffs.
NOTE: There will be some overlap among colors regarding archetypes (i.e. elves will be a shared archetype among green and black, snow will be a shared archetype among green/blue/red) in order to provide ample opportunities for synergy with selected commanders.
