I'm just asking in case of Cube, is Opposition mostly used to lock your opponent out of any attacks?
Also, is upheaval mostly used with Cyatog?

Normally, you resolve Upheaval with some mana floating, drop a permanent or two after the Upheaval, and win. Also good when your opponent has your walker under an O-Ring.
I built a cube just so I could play with Jace and all my other pet cards...

I saw an article or podcast or YouTube video the other day that referenced a website that would let you put in a deck list and it would return a list of the tokens needed for that list. I wanted to do this with my cube and think it'd be a great tool for cubers who want to use real tokens, however, I can't remember what the hell the website was. Do you guys know what this website is?
Haven't heard of it. I think just having a good mix of tokens is the way to go. There's no appreciable difference between a 3/3 elephant, 3/3 beast, and 3/3 centaur (assuming they're all vanilla), so any of those tokens could represent any of those creatures. As long as it's clear to the players, it's all good. You could also use playing cards in a pinch. No 5/5 demon token? Here's a 5 of clubs.
Yeah, we don't have all of the needed tokens, so we use what ever is handy for those (dice, face down lands or tokens, similar tokens, some Ninja Turtle tokens I made years ago). Ideally, though, I'd love to actually have all of the needed tokens. I have a tab on my spreadsheet (yes, I still keep a spreadsheet in addition to CubeTutor) that lists the tokens needed for the cube, what cards create those tokens, my preferred version of those tokens, how many I own, and how many I still need.
It might seem a bit anal retentive, but I keep a color sorted library of tokens in an old Deckbuilder's Toolkit box that I bring with me to each cube draft.
The only token I haven't been able to get a copy of yet is the lifelink vampire token from Sorin, Lord of Innistrad. That one's always out of stock at the online retailers I use.

I believe the word you're looking for is bandolier.
So that is how you spell that word in American? I thought "funny spelling", and then Wikipedia told me that you can spell it like that in German as well. In my dialect of Swiss we spell it bandoulière.
That said, these are some nice minimalist tokens. I like the cat token best, because of the bandoulière!
Thanks to all the regulars, followers and lurkers that contribute to the discussion on these boards. My cube thread reached its one millionth view today!
I'd personally pick these over it:
Ancestral Recall
Time Walk
Upheaval
Opposition

I kept a modern heavy cube because I find everyone in my playgroup would just spend alot of the time reading if I added too many non-modern cards

You mean in Blue?
Ancestral Recall, Time Walk, Mana Drain and probably Tinker and/or Upheaval depending on the composition of the pack and how far we are into the draft.

If jace is your pet card, there's really nothing else we can say.
Upheaval is a great card in general, usually with mana rocks.
