MODERN
– Modern MTG Cube 450 — https://www.cubecobra.com/cube/list/ModernFrame?board=mainboard
A tight, high-replayability “modern-frame” draft environment: clean card visuals, real archetype support, and fewer dead picks—the version you grab when you want the draft to feel sharp every single time.
Origin / why this list exists
This cube is built around the modern-frame look and feel—so your draft table stays visually consistent—while still chasing that “best hits” cube gameplay where every pack has decisions, interaction, and pull into a lane.
At 450 cards, it’s intentionally tighter than a big 720 list: less sprawl, more cohesion.
What’s in the list / how it plays
450 is the “draft texture” sweet spot:
-
More consistent archetypes than 540/720 (your payoffs and enablers show up more often).
-
More variety than 360 (you don’t see the exact same cards every night).
-
For an 8-person draft (360 cards), you’ve still got a 90-card bench, so pods don’t feel scripted—but the environment stays learnable.
Gameplay-wise, this is high power, unpowered: you’ll get premium interaction, efficient threats, and build-around packages that reward drafting with a plan—without the Power Nine “oops” factor.
Who it’s for
-
You want a cube that drafts cleanly and “reads” well on the table (modern-frame vibe).
-
Your group drafts often and prefers consistency over maximum chaos.
-
You like synergy decks, but you also want aggro/control/midrange to show up and be real choices.
-
You want a 450 that feels curated, not padded.
