Hi everyone. Some friends and I decided to try drafting a powered cube for the first time. We've drafted pauper and peasant cubes previously, but are excited to see the craziness that can happen with Magic's entire history. We'll probably have 6 players. I suppose we're looking for the quintessential cube experience. I had trouble finding a list small enough to fit the job (most seem to be around 540 cards), but came up with this after scouring the subforums here and combining a few powered 360 card lists:
Since we won't likely have the full 8 players to utilize all 360 cards, I figure it's not too important that colors are completely balanced. I don't really know anything about this kind of cube, so I don't expect to be able to knock it down to 270, but if there are any glaring exclusions or poor choices, we'd appreciate a quick nudge to make the experience more enjoyable.
