What possibilities do we have besides the standard powered/unpowered cube?
Sphere (total jank, worst of the worst cards)
All artifact/colorless. Has anyone done this? Sounds like it could be cool
Build around 1 card (Myr Servitor)
Pauper.
Peasant.
Tribal.
All multicolor.. sounds horrible.
What else is there? Any really unique cubes anyone has seen?
Ahh, the Custom Cube. Fond memories, fond memories.
On the topic at hand, you have several cubes not listed yet, my favourite of which is the color skew cube, in which you have more of one color than the other. You've also got cubes that exclude specific colors. There's an article on these things here.
I am about 50% done with an artifact-themed cube. You will be able to add any number and combination of basic or artifact lands to your deck. It's looking pretty good so far!

I was thinking about doing a legendary cube project (all the permanents in the cube must be legendary or reference legendary).
Since my playgroup consists of older players (active AN - Urza and only casually played) and younger ones (T2 only - with dci-ratings of 1800-1900) my cube is designed for 4 Two-Headed-Giant-Teams.
Groups are made at random.
Works perfectly well.

i have completed but not tested a pack wars cube and as soon as it's been tested a few times i will post it. it's a very different kind of cube because, while drafting is possible and will be done, most of the time there's no deck building. for anyone who isn't aware of how pack wars is played, it's 3 of each basic land and 15 random cards shuffled up. the set up is extremely fast and it allows me to play a lot of fun cards that i wouldn't normally play in a regular cube, like erratic mutation, exotic disease, and mind funeral.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
Mono black cube based totally on themes. Swamp-matters, black acceleration, swampwalkers, etc. I made a big list of cards for it but never got around to making it.
I was theorizing some other weird cubes in the style of my Myr Servitor cube, where every card interacts with the Myrs and at the end of the draft you can grab as many Myrs as you would like. I decided the other greatest idea is where the Myrs are replaced with Shapeshifter creatures, a 1/1 for 1. The cards that interact will widely be lords or other cards like Spellstutter Sprite.
Some rules: The cmc is 1, they play like real cards although they are tokens. ie: Repeal costs 1U sends it back to your hand.

That sounds awesome, are you including cards like Hurkyl's Recall though it destroys a deck that uses all artifact lands?

Oh, you've also got the new frame-only cubes, and the old frame-only cubes.
Plus, you can mix two together for even more combinations.

Oooh, cool, that's one I haven't heard before. Would you include all sorts of Clone effects like Vesuva, Clone, etc. to act as removal?

What do you guys think? The real tribal cube.

For what cube? I personally cannot build a third cube, running two is already enough work.
