In a typical powered cube what are you looking for as the best case scenario pick one?

Looking for different opinions. I'd think blue is over drafted so I wouldn't want recall or time walk per say I think I'd take lotus, maybe fire and ice, maybe jitte

Sol Ring. Rotisserie seems like a faster format than a traditional draft, so that means Sol Ring edges out Library of Alexandria and Umezawa's Jitte for me.

Library of Alexandria. Or Sol Ring, Umezawa's Jitte, Black Lotus or Ancestral Recall. Depending on what kind of deck I'm in the mood to play.

Sol Ring. I'd be tempted to really go out on a limb, though, and draft an archetype defining card. That tends to work better when you are on the wheel, though. I prefer being on the wheel, actually, to going first in rotisserie.

We did a Rotisserie Draft long ago when I had a 720 cards list and if I recall correctly, the winner was a monored that first-picked Skullclamp. It was an unpowered cube with low aggro support and a lot of aggro deterrants.

Other first picks were Umezawa's Jitte, Sword of Fire and Ice, Vedalken Shackles, Sensei's Divining Top, Sol Ring and maybe Tarmogoyf and Sword of Light and Shadow (not sure about it). Can't really remember the order, though.

Sol Ring. Library of Alexandria and Umezawa's Jitte close behind.
