The No-Rare 90s Cube

It only took a lockdown to lead me to lean deep, deep into childhood nostalgia and design a 2nd cube:


*The No-Rare 90s Cube*

- 540 worthless commons & uncommons from the 1990s

- An unabashed nostalgia trip to the broke-kid bedroom/basement/recess era

- Yet meticulously designed and -- I think! -- playable


Key design principles:

- No cards over $2, few cards over $0.50, ~$100 total

- As many memorable & bizarre early cards as possible

- Median card is a D+

- Emulate a mix of scrape-for-playables Limited & "decks built with one's first few hundred cards"

- 30%+ white border


Rather than write about this one, I decided to talk through its design and memories on a Twitch stream:
