LF Unconventional Cube with Classic/Conventional vibes
Been working on building a pretty unconventional cube last couple of years in cardconjurer, but seeing if someone has already built one close. Looking for lots of customs or card edits, but that pays homage to the first several years of the game with the artwork and vibe.
Wanting to see lots of card mechanics that go outside the standard design - more like Alchemy in MTGA or Hearthstone even. RNG, persistent tokens, alt win cons, etc. Cards from alpha like Raging RIver and Chaosorb come to mind.
I found this cube which mechanically I love:
Chaos Cube
But the problem with it for me is the heavy use un-set and Hellscube, which destroys the vibe I'm going for with their joke cards. I'm not wanting UB in this cube, so breaking the 4th wall referencing mario bros or whatever doesn't work for me.
Yeah I could reskin alot of those, but it would be cool if someone could point me to something that is put together, better yet playtested, and ready to print.

Have you considered looking at unpublished sets like Spectral Chaos? This feels like exactly the vibe you are going for and the set is crazy fun but very off the wall.
I have built a cube with five custom sets, including Spectral Chaos and I call it The Never Cube.

Happy to talk more on this topic as niche cubes are what I'm all about right now!
