I thought so too, at first, but after reading into it some more, it seemed so fun that I gave it a try. Now its getting confusing again. If anyone has good experience with cubing, please help.

So, it's a draft with cards that you already have, and you choose a theme?

Kinda, you choose cards that you think would draft well, and combine/oppose well.

He's making a deck based on one of the seven deadly sins. Greed, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony, Lust and Pride.

Using cards that does or describes the mentioned seven deadly sins...

A cube is something that you and your friends can draft with. Basically, you count the number of people in the draft, take random chunks of 45 cards from the cube, and draft it as 3 15-card packs.

turbine/shakii-what i am doing is a constricted deck based on one of the sins, it is a tribal/theme deck

a cube is a pool of cards, anywhere between 90-360 cards.  players then randomly take 45 cards from the pool and then they draft with them.  The fun part about doing a cube is that it is customized to what you want to see, for example I was once involved in an artifact cube,

for a good cube, you want to build it like a good deck, you want a solid mana curve, good blend of creatures vs spells, direct damage and control.  the best advice I can give is to build a monocolored deck for each color as well as a gold/artifact deck, this will provide the curve and blend for each color, remove the basic lands, mix them together and your good to go.  Its alot easier to think of the cube as 6 decks rather then a ton of cards
