Build the Durdlemagus Premodern Cube!

Magic: The Gathering · by ForceofPhil & Zac Clark · April 22, 2026

Premodern is awesome and often considered the best board game ever made, thanks to its fixed card pool. While you could build a battle box of the various playable archetypes in the format, what if you didn't want to know the 75 you would sleeve up when you sat down at the gaming shop or hit the pub with the buds for some slings and brews?

Enter cube! Eternal Durdles' Co-Host Zac Clark, a.k.a. Durdlemagus, has built a cube comprised entirely of cards legal in the Premodern card pool. Check it out below.
