This cube is built around XP and Empower, so your cards only get stronger as the game progresses!
Welcome to the Level Up cube! It's built around XP and Empower, which are normally somewhat underpowered in constructed, so I thought draft would be a fun format to explore them. The colors aren't evenly distributed - because the mechanics were not evenly distributed in Unleashed and Vendetta. But the colors with fewer XP and Empower cards have a few extra powerful spells & units outside the theme as compensation.
The nine legends available were chosen to represent all colors more or less evenly, while including most of the XP- and Empower-based Legends. Ambessa has been omitted, as her ability to Ready a unit might be to strong in this type of format where fully half of all cards can enable her ability and the power level is lower overall. Other than that, we have Darius, who can use the extra energy he generates to activate Empower abilities; Draven, who can capitalize on the power of Leveled Up and Empowered units to win fights and draw cards if he can get it done before his opponent; Nasus, who synergizes with Steel Paws, Frostcoat Mother, and Grumpy Rockbear specifically; and Viktor, who can use his Recruits as fodder for Escaped Greyback and Safety Inspector etc.
