Draft The Lost Caverns of Ixalan
The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a Standard-legal set released on November 17, 2023. Its Limited environment supports ten two-color archetypes built around Craft and artifacts, Descend and the graveyard, Explore, Dinosaurs, sacrifice, and go-wide strategies. Discover provides additional card advantage across the set, while Map tokens connect Explore, artifacts, and graveyard themes. Caves appear frequently in the Draft Booster land slot and can support utility lands, selective splashes, and a less common multicolor Caves deck, though the ten main archetypes are primarily two-color strategies.

Archetypes
A quick reference for the main decks and strategies to look for while drafting this set cube.
Artifact Control
Buy time with blockers and interaction while assembling artifacts and Craft cards that generate increasing value in the late game.
Descend Control
Fill your graveyard while defending the board, then use Descend payoffs, card draw, and recursive threats to win a longer game.
Descending Beatdown
Put permanents into your graveyard every turn to enable Descend payoffs while keeping pressure on the opponent with aggressive creatures and removal.
Dinosaur Stompy
Ramp into large Dinosaurs, use Dinosaur synergies, and rely on size and combat effects to overpower opposing blockers.
Buffs Aggro
Develop a wide board of inexpensive creatures, then use counters and pump effects to turn that early presence into large attacks.
Sacrifice
Generate expendable creatures and artifacts, sacrifice them for additional resources, and transition into larger threats as the game develops.
Artifact Aggro
Combine Pirates, Treasure, Equipment, and other artifacts in an aggressive deck that can attack on the ground or finish through evasion.
Descend Midrange
Fill the graveyard with permanents, stabilize with resilient creatures, and turn Descend 4, Descend 8, and related payoffs into late-game value.
Tapping Midrange
Build a board of small creatures and artifacts, then tap those resources to activate payoffs while maintaining pressure in combat.
Explore Midrange
Use Explore and Map tokens to improve creatures, smooth draws, and hit land drops before spending extra mana on larger threats and activated abilities.
