This is made for use with Maldhound's "Treasure Cruise" EDH add-on (similar to Planechase EDH). The design goal was to choose cards that make the game go faster instead of slower (hence the exclusion of cards like Rule of Law and Moderation and such), that will be usable regardless of how far into the game they come out, and that favor helping out players who have fallen behind -- whether mana screwed, mana flooded, or short on card draw. Most importantly, the jackpots will be strong for anyone who uses them but won't ruin the game if they come out turn 1 (hence the exclusion of certain mana rocks that don't crack, like Gilded Lotus).

A secondary goal was to avoid any commander staples. I wanted this to be something where cards you would never see otherwise get a chance to shine. Since the mana cost of each card is not a factor in their viability for this list, I was able to find lots of forgotten gems; power balancing becomes a completely different challenge in the treasure pile.
